  1. Our New Sandbox

    June 15, 2009 by Monica Sepper

    Our new sandbox is here and ready to be played in.  My Dad had offered to fix up our old sandbox last summer and so this spring we took him up on the offer. 

    My Dad went and got 8 inch pipping and got it all ready to go.  His vision was to have something that was durable that wouldn’t rust or rot and it could go with us if we ever move.  He also wanted it to be safe and there are no hard corners to hit, nails or screws to rust.  He did a really good job of envisioning a great sandbox that is one of a kind and safe for all.

    We  got an early start to our day on Sunday morning.  We first had to get rid of our old sandbox, which was in a lot worse shape than we had realized.

    First we removed all the old sand (which was full of who-knows-what) and then removed the old box.

    Finishing up the new area, it needed to be made a little bit bigger. (I helped with this part, just no photo to prove it)

    Jump ahead to Monday night, Katie Lynn decided the sand was not that bad and that she could play in it.  I am sure she will get to a point were we will have to drag her out of the sandbox.

    A big Thank you to my folks for the sandbox!! It will get lots of use over the years and I am sure Katie Lynn will share with Peanut.  Also, a Thank you to Tom for the sand. The sandbox is awesome and I love it!!!

  2. It’s summertime summertime sum sum summertime

    June 12, 2009 by Katie Lynn

    Finally got here!! It has been a fast and busy week.  I have pictures to share!! Here was how the week went down. Enjoy

     

    Monday: First day of swim class! My mommy was more excited than I was.  Here I am with my daddy and then mommy getting ready to leave for my 1st day of class.  I spent a lot of the time crying and holding onto my mommy.  She told me it was okay but I don’t think I believed her.

    Swim class really took it out of me, I took a short nap on our way home.

    Monday night we hung out on the back patio.  My parents gave me this red thing, I was not sure what to do with it.  I ended up putting it all over the ground and playing in it, fun times.

    Tuesday: Another day of swim class, today was better.  I enjoyed the song parts today.  We sang “The wheels on the Bus”, “Motor Boat Motor Boat”, and  “Old McDonald had a farm”.  I did the motions for these songs today but the other stuff, I didn’t want anything to do with it.  They should really warm up the water.

    Tuesday night I got to play outside with a tub of water, this was so much fun.  I got to make a big mess and no one was upset that the “wa-wa” did not stay in the bucket.

    Later Tuesday night, we got to see some storms.  The sirens went off and we saw the neighbors trampoline jump the fence and land in the driveway behind them.  I guess the trampoline decided it was its turn to jump a little.  You can see the trampoline upside down just past the fence.

    Wednesday: Swim lessons went really well today, I loved it all and was smiling and laughing and having a good time.  Then someone decided that I needed to be dunked.  Mommy said it was part of the class and that is what the teacher told her to do.  Hmm…I am not so sure.  I was not happy after that. 

    Wednesday afternoon I got to go with my mommy and daddy to Peanut’s doctor appointment.  This was the first time I got to go.  I was not to sure about this, they kept saying it was for Mommy but I thought it might be a trick.  Come to find out, my parents were telling the truth and I just had to sit there and be cute.  Everyone thought I was cute and said I could come visit anytime.  SO I might just have to go to all these visits until Peanut gets here.  Whoever Peanut is.

    Sorry, no pictures today….someone forgot to take pictures…aka, mommy

    Thursday: There was rain and so swim class was cancelled. I spent the day around the house and got in a good 3 hour nap. Life is good.

    Friday: Off to our make-up swim lesson.  Today was the most fun ever! The water was really cold from the rain but that did not bother me.  We did lots of songs and I even practiced kicking, digging, jumping off the wall and even let my mommy dunk me.  I cried a little but was okay with it today.  After swim class we went to our pool.  There were lots of kids and I played, laughed and had a great time in the pool again.  Maybe this pool thing is not so bad.

    Friday night: I helped my mommy bake some brownies. We are going to some friends house tomorrow and we are bringing dessert.  My parents tell me that their friends are having twins on MY birthday!!! Okay, well maybe not MY birthday but sometime in November.  My mommy let me help with the baking.  I was a good helper.

  4. Weekend Away

    June 4, 2009 by Katie Lynn

    My mommy and daddy decided to have a weekend away and so I got to go and visit my grandparents.  Grams and Granddad were very excited to have me visit and had lots of things planned for me.  My dog, Wrigley, got to go with me.  The two of us had so much fun and enjoyed our time away from mommy and daddy. 

    We started off the evening by having dinner, my Granddad made my favorite! Mac & Cheese

    Sunday morning we got up and had pancakes!! Another one of my favorites, they really know how to spoil me.

    It was a fast and busy weekend and I had such a good time!!  Thank you so much Grams and Granddad for taking care of me.

    Mommy and Daddy showed up Sunday to pick me up.  I was very happy to see them and glad that they hadn’t forgotten me.  I had a great time with my Grams and Granddad.
