Happy Easter

By -
Yesterday we both mentioned how lucky we are to have both of our parents within 30 minutes of us.We had such a great Easter with everyone and Whitney was such a trooper.  She is very tired today but it was well worth it to spend all of that quality time with our loved ones.  Megan and Caleb were missed a ton but thanks to technology we were able to see their faces and catch up for a little bit:)

Brunch at my parents house was delicious and fun as we caught up with family and all watched as Whitney ran around the house after Jasper.  It is funny how entertained we are by her and we wondered what it is we did before at family gatherings?!  Dinner at Kyle and Lori's was great as well as the Easter egg hunt with JJ and Bryce.  Whit didn't fair too well with the egg hunt at either house but am sure she will get the idea next year!!

She learned how to say "Happy Easter" which sounded more like, "Happy Estr" but we got the idea.  She has not stopped saying Papaw since yesterday and also took a liking to my cousin Michael.  She said his name over and over today looking for him -- guess she likes to be around the guys:)


Searching for eggs on Grandma and Papaws deck.



She found one!

Only one where all three were looking but no smiles..haha:)


Sorting through her eggs that she found.



Her favorite place at Grandma's house.  She would not get out of the tub.  We would ask her (just like when she is one the swing) want to go get daddy?  Want to go find Papaw?  Want to eat?  .... No No NO haha:)

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...
