My little characters

Grandpa Bob's birthday

Last Saturday was dad's birthday and the annual county wide garage sales. Ashley and the kids had a sleepover at our house the night before.

Amelia's first trip to the dentist

Over the last few weeks Amelia got to have her first trips to the dentist two have 2 cavities filled. It went pretty well but we have some help with medication to relax her. We had to go back again this week to have one of them done again because the filling fell out. Both times we had a lunch date at Pizza Hut. She hadn't been there before and loved the cherry dessert pizza. She asked to go back to "that pizza restaurant. "

Nothing like warm laundry...

Tonight as I was folding clothes, Amelia came and grabbed 6 or 8 t shirts and took them to the couch for her and Truman to snuggle with. Nothing like clean, warm laundry. I remember doing the same thing when I was little. Mom would put it in a pile on her bed and I'd burrow down in it.

Tea Time

On our trip to Boston, we got Amelia a tea set. Truman asked us before we left and while we were gone for a Captain America costume, so that's what we got him. As soon as we got home, Princess Amelia and Captain America Truman had a tea party, complete with leftover snacks from our airplane ride home.

I think I'll go to Boston

For our 10th anniversary I planned a surprise trip for Travis and I to Boston. Boston had been #1 on his bucket list. I pulled it off being a complete surprise. He came home from work Tuesday and I told him to change clothes, tell the kids bye, and get in the car. The look on his face was priceless, such confusion. He didn't know where we were going until we checked in at the airport on Wednesday morning.
