Trick or Treat

By -
Although Whitney has already had her "first" Halloween  this one was really the first one she participated in.  Last year she couldn't walk or crawl and was in bed before half of the trick or treaters came to our door.  This year she was a ladybug and was so excited to go to the neighbors to say, "Trick or Treat...Thank you". We had been practicing all month:)

My Mom and Bret came by after work to see Whit in her costume and helped pass out candy as we took her to a few houses.  I guarantee she would have lasted a lot longer but it was pretty cold and rainy which didn't make for much fun.  



Practicing saying Trick or Treat


Ready with her new princess basket from Mamaw and Papaw


Playing on the porch before it was time to head out


Whitney and our neighbors grandson, Zach.  He just started walking


Some of our other neighbors, Rachel and Carmen came to say hello too!


Whitney and Daddy walking up to her very first house in the rain!



Whitney and her best friend Elizabeth.  All week people would ask Whitney what she was going to be for Halloween and she would say, "Ladybug...lizabeth strawberry" :)



Already inside after only twenty minutes -- too cold and rainy for us.  She still had a great time though!


Here she is wearing Daddy's wig.  Daddy dressed up as Ron Burgundy for work and she couldn't figure out what she though of the wig!



Eating her very first sucker.  She was so happy to get this during trick or treat...she wanted to stop right in the driveway and eat it.  She liked it until she accidentally took a bite and it was "too sharp" for her mouth!

Whitney already informed us that next time she wants to be a cat!

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...
