Happy Birthday to Whitney!

By -
We had a fun few days celebrating Whitney!  First she woke to a yummy breakfast of her choice (cinnamon rolls and sausage) and then we picked her up from school for a surprise lunch date!  On her birthday morning she also woke to a fish tank sitting at her place and was very happy at the prospect of getting to pick out some fish!  Sadly Whitney wasn't feeling very well the evening of her birthday and woke the next morning with strep throat.  She was able to spend the next two days home from school with us (she was feeling much better after her first dose of antibiotics so I loved having her home so much!!)

With the rest and medicine she had earlier in the week she was ready to go for her double party day on Sunday.  Whit chose to have three of her friends over for a shopkins birthday party.  They played games, decorated picture frames and even made edible candy necklaces.  An hour after her friends left she was surrounded by family and loved being the special girl once again.  

It just doesn't seem possible that six years ago she was a teeny tiny baby!  Time sure is flying by and we love every second that we get to watch her grow!  Whit is such a happy child.  She lights up any room she walks into and has a heart of gold.  I look forward to seeing her smiling face every day when she gets off the bus and of course her hugs and snuggles because she missed me so much!  

Whitney loves going to school now and is so happy when it is music day.  She said she just loves to sing and doesn't ever want to stop!  Whit is a great big sister and loves playing peppa pig with Meredith when she gets home from school.  She is doing really well with reading and writing and loves math just like her dad!  She will be starting tennis lessons in the spring and hopes to play soccer again too.

She is in the 75% for height and weight and overall a healthy growing girl.  Dr. Zimmerly did mention that she needs to have her tonsils out this summer due to the fact that they are so enlarged and she gets so many sinus infections.

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...
