Super Bowl Fun

By -
Last weekend was a bit rough for mommy with the stomach bug and ongoing migraine issues but that didn't stop Whit and Daddy from having a good time.  And thank goodness for Ryan's energy because I was not able to keep up this weekend. Whitney giggled and ran around this house so much with him that she was exhausted by days end!!  Whit's favorite thing to do with him is walk behind her walker while he chases her.  She laughs so hard that she can barely walk at times, turning around checking to make sure he is still coming to get her!! I try to play the same games he does with her and she is not having it, guess it is just something between a girl and her dad:)

We were able to have a some special visitors over to celebrate Great Grandpas birthday and watch a little bit of the super bowl, despite the sickness.  Whitney hasn't seen my grandparents in awhile so she was a little apprehensive at first but warmed up soon enough.  I think it made my grandpas year to have her stand so close and look at a book with him.

And I just had to put these pictures in here because Whitney loved playing with the sit and spin yesterday at Jenny's.  It brought back so many memories of playing with one as a child:)



And one last picture, I am not sure how this didn't make it to the blog before but it is something I want to remember!  Jenny got out the girls old crib for baby dolls and Whitney loves using it.  She pats her babies and says "night night, love you" before putting them to bed.  But on the first day she used it, Jenny said, "put your baby to bed" and Whit shoved her baby right under the crib!!!!  We all had a good laugh at that one and hope that Whitney doesn't think we do that to her:)

South Haven, Michigan

We love Michigan and had such an amazing time on our family trip to South Haven this year.  The 4.5 hour drive was easy with older kiddos and totally worth it for the memories we made this year! An old high school in downtown South Haven was renovated into lofts recently and we decided to check it out.  It was such a cute place with pieces of the high school here and there for memory sake.  They had old school desks as the sinks in the bathrooms and lockers turned on their side used as planters throughout the building.  The lofts were very nice and spacious and had an indoor pool and movie theater. We had some great food this time around and even met up with some friends that were staying nearby.  The girls loved being on floats in the water, swimming in the pool and checking out downtown.  I would say the highlight of the trip was the dune ride we took on a rainy morning.  It was so much fun and had such amazing views!! Spending five uninterrupt...

Broken Bone

During quarantine Ryan and I were always saying to the girls, "be careful and don't break anything, we dont want to have to go to the ER during this crazy time...." Whit of course breaks her wrist smack dab in the middle of it all!!!  Myself, Ryan and both girls have never broken a bone -- why does it happen when we literally aren't supposed to and don't want to leave the house!?!? Whitney was riding her scooter on April 22 and the wheel got caught in a crack on a neighbors driveway, down she went catching herself with her left wrist.  She immediately screamed out, "I BROKE MY ARM!!!"  I knew it was a bad fall but everything looked okay, just a little blood and I thought this is like her other falls where she is pretty dramatic.  Fast forward and hour and she is feeling sick to her stomach and still in a whole lot of pain.  We luckily have several neighbors in the orhto field that took a look at her arm; she put it in an ice bath and they suggested t...

Fantasy Football

Football season has arrived which means all the men in our family start using "uh huh" and "mmmm hmmm" as their main vocabulary.  This is especially true on draft day when all of them gather at the Sims house for good food and lots and lots of football talk!  The girls make sure they are "seen and not heard" on this day and usually congregate far away from the madness that ensues inside.  Picture this: 15 or so guys huddled over pages and pages of spreadsheets listing every football player worth anything in the NFL, scrambling to make just the right pick, only to receive 'smack' talk from all the other guys about how that wasn't the pick they would have made.  Bret doesn't mess around and has a larger than life poster to list all the draft picks with color coordinated stickers.....Im telling you if you haven't experienced this you won't believe your eyes!!  Once the draft if over (after about two hours of the above craziness) they a...
