Weekend in Mt Ayr

we went down to Mt Ayr this weekend. Wes is in the midst of making a bean bag game (aka cornhole) anyway we don't own a sewing machine (yes, shock of all shocks HA!) So mom helped him. Wes did sew a few and realized sewing is not for him!!! We went and ate supper in Clearfield and Mickey D's! Then headed to Diagonal's bb game and it was homecoming! The girls and boys both lost but was a good game to watch for such a small school! They have no HS girls to cheerlead so the elementary girls do it. Well Hannah and Haydn both found their way to the gym floor during timeouts. Hannah didn't know the cheers but had fun with the other girls. I got a new camera for x-mas but still do not know how to download the photos yet. But will post some photos from the weekend later!!

Happy Tuesday!

Well now that I have been working at the YMCA for over a year, we are finally utilizing our membership more. We went swimming last Wed night for the first time as a family. Was a lot of fun. So today when Haydn woke up I took the girls. Hannah is getting a lot more use to the water, will actually put her head in the water. So my goal is to go once a week. Haydn has NO fear of the water. Walks in the water my herself! The water was a little cold today, but if you keep moving then it isn't so bad. The swim team had practice while we were there. We were in the locker room the same time as the HS girls! Hannah was watching their every move! I am sure I was as dorky as they are when I was their age, minus the cell phones though!!

Hannah went back to preschool today. She had a great time seeing her friends again. They are at a new church so they have some new toys along with the old ones. Hannah enjoyed playing kitchen today, is what she told me.

Back to routine.....

Well now that Christmas and New Year's is over.....we are going to finally be back into a routine, which I think is good for all of us! Hannah starts back to school on Tuesday. She is moving preschools for those of you that don't know. The lease was up at the Methodist Church here in Waukee. So they moved to Point of Grace, on Hickman (Hwy 6). So further drive for us, but not much, really! It was nice though this fall on nice days, we would walk to and from but no longer will we do that! She is excited now that they had open house on Friday to see the new building. This time of the year is REALLY busy at the YMCA! With all those new years resolutions!! So now until probably February we will be busy in childwatch!! It either makes the 2 hrs go really fast or I can't wait to get my shift done!!! HA!!

So looking forward to getting back into our "normal" routine!!

Happy 2008!!

I hope everyone had a Happy New Year! We went to Mark and Ken's to help Ken celebrate his 50th b-day. I had bought Hannah a Happy New Year tiara to wear so she thought that was great. Done celebrating our Christmas's. The girls got a lot of nice things and so did Wes and I!!
