Yard work and first pool party of the summer!

By -
Mamaw and Papaw were helping my grandparents in their yard on Friday so Whit and I decided to stop by and help:)

Whitney was helping Papaw plant a bush


Helping Mamaw water the new plants

Swinging with GG on her new porch swing

Precious!


Great Grandpas turn to swing with Whitney


On Saturday we went to the first pool party at Mamaw and Papaws house.  We weren't sure how Whitney would react to the water but she seemed like to it.  It might have been a little cold for her liking but I have no doubt this warm weather will take care of that problem:)


Here she is sitting in her very own chair 


Whit even had a pool of her own in case she didnt like the big pool.  We spent most of our time up on the deck...which is nice for Mommy who is allergic to the sun!




Whit was sharing her goldfish with everyone...it was Papaws turn!




Showing Papaw how her book works.


Tossing her ball into the water


Kisses from Daddy in the pool



Cutie Pie!


Cried for 10 minutes about leaving Mamaw and then fell sound alseep -- think all that playing and the heat wore her out!!!

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...
