Social Butterflies

By -
Between the play dates with friends and birthday parties we have been to recently, we have had our share of social interaction!  I feel like we were stuck inside for so long throughout the nasty winter that its like everyone is coming out of the wood work to play and get out of the house!

We went with our friend Jenny and her two little ones to a really cool place called Skyzone.  It is literally wall to wall trampolines but the best part is they have toddler time which allows the little ones to jump with kids their own size and not have to worry about getting hurt!  It was such a great time and a wonderful way to wear out your child hahaha!!

Whit and I got a special treat one Saturday morning and got to go and meet Evan Weddle.  He is Ryan's baby brother and oh so tiny!!  Whitney brought presents and donuts for her friends and loved playing while the adults visited!  

We spent some quality time with Granny and Gramps after his carpal tunnel surgery.  Whitney was able to see his stuffed pheasant and was so nervous about it....she eventually warmed up and tentatively touched its feathers.  When we were little Grandpa used to let us pet it and then when we weren't looking he would make it jump and scare us SO bad.  I felt badly doing that to Whit because she was already so scared so I spared this time hahha!!

Whitney loved going to Emma's color guard performance!  We haven't seen the big Bishop girls in a long time so she was extra excited to spend time with them!  Even though it has been awhile since we have seen them, they still love each other like sisters..... what a special bond!

And lastly we spent a little time with Mamaw and Papaw before Whitney spent the night at their house.  Meredith is really warming up to other people besides our immediate family and just took to roaming around their house.  I think she really enjoys her new freedom:).  Whitney loved spending the night with them.....as always.  But this time she was extra excited because they were watching her favorite movie, Big Hero 6.  Even though she came home with quite the bump on her head from colliding with a coffee table, she had the best time ever!!  Love their special time together.  (and funny how we always used to come home from Granny and Gramps house with bumps and bruises....guess the tradition continues!!)

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...
