One More Round for the Princess Dress

I think Violet lives in her princess dress. But I can't put all the blame on her.

I can't go to Walmart, Kohl's, JC Penney, Target - just about any store - without buying something for Violet and Lincoln. Today it was a tiara, earrings, bangle bracelets and a magic wand to go with her princess dress. So, of course, Violet had to put on her princess dress with all her new accessories. Lola was a little upset I forgot to get something for her. But she made up for it by stealing a piece of Violet's chocolate. Hopefully it won't hurt her - Lola that is!

Lincoln Turns 3 Months Old

Sometimes time goes by so slow and other times it flies by.

Lincoln is already 3 months old. He's still going through a very needy period and it seems as though Violet is getting just a bit tired of it. While asking her who gets to come to her birthday party, when I mentioned Lincoln, she said "No".

Sky Zone Trampoline Park

Gone are the days when kids played in the backyard or rode their bikes all day. Now there's Adventure Parks, Paradise Park and the newest Lee's Summit attraction - Sky Zone Trampoline Park.

Yesterday was "toddler time" so Jamie and I took Violet. This place is full of small trampoline areas where kids spend hours just jumping.

There was also a foam block pit and basketball court. Violet was a little small to get the ball through the hoop and a little too light to jump high enough. Although toddler time lasts for 2 hours, Violet ran out of energy after 30 minutes. Then we had blue raspberry slurpies. Life as a toddler is tough!

Happy Birthday Ashley

Today is Ashley's birthday but she and Michael were both off work on Monday so we did what every young couple does when they want to celebrate a special occasion. They took me bowling.

Now I haven't bowled for...well I can't even remember the last time I went bowling.

But Michael and Ashley are pretty good and pretty competitive (I wonder where they get that from?)

Michael and I were pretty embarrassed after the first game. Our two scores combined didn't even equal Ashley's score and that was with the first 2 frames of us all getting gutter balls.

Then I got a lighter ball and my scores started going up. I finally beat them the last game. I'm paying for that little adventure today. Even though I've been doing quite a bit more exercising, I still used muscles that I didn't even know I had.

Ashley was pretty excited about her gift from Michael - a new Michael Kors cross body purse. Happy Birthday Ashley! I'm free next Monday for marathon bowling!
