Happy Father's Day

 Ella painting a horse- the 1st station at the horse farms!

 Eva painting the horse.

  Eva, ready to ride a horse, the 3rd station. Skipped the 2nd, it was coloring and snacking!

   Eva brushing a horse- the 4th station. The last station was a smores station, the fire was a bit much on a 85 degree, sunny day but the smores hit the spot,

                                                           Is this not the perfect picture!

                                           Ella got to guide a horse!

              We went to a birthday party in the park on Tuesday morning, we had a great time!

  I watched my friends boys on Wednesday so she could find some time to pack and get ready for a big move.

   It was nice to have some boys in the house but apparently the girls were thinking something else. :o)

    Baby Drew got a ride in the wagon, they really would be great big sisters!  But not holding my breath on that one. :o)

                                      Where's Waldo, I mean Eva! ;o)

          I watched my other friends kids on Friday, 5 kids total is a bit much for this lady but we all enjoyed the day. And we all got ice cream from the ice cream truck, I have never seen happier kids than these when the truck stopped in front of the house. (made my day)

                        Daddy took this beauty for a walk!

                 We are looking at cars and the girls took up some time by getting in ALL of them and test driving them out.

                                                 HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! mommy had to work but the girls enjoyed their daddy, all day!

                        Ella playing in the sprinkler today, washing up her jeep.

The horse farms event was part of Ella's preschool field day and the girls had so much fun. It was last Sunday. We had a busy week, although I didn't work as much because Eva was sick most of the week. She started last Monday with a low grade temp. She acted fine most days, eating/drinking/playing but her fever continued and spiked at night. I finally took her in on Thursday when she actually was acting sick and found nothing; probably just a virus. Hopefully we didn't spread it to any of our friends we were around last week. Thankfully, Ella hasn't caught it either. Monday I did work and they went to the sitters, Tuesday we took it easy bc I also worked the overnight although that was the day with the bday party in the park. Wednesday we had a playdate with the boys and that little Drew who is 13 months is the most adorable little boy ever so I enjoyed some baby time. Thursday we went to the Dr. and spend most the day on the couch. Eva and I took a nap while Ella kept busy playing the wii, coloring, and watching tv. She is too funny and way too grown up already! I asked her if it was ok it I napped and she listed multiple things she could do and said it was no problem at all and that she would wake me if she needed to. Then there's Eva who is in her own little world most of the time! Friday I worked overnight again and the weekend was spent recuperating although I worked again on Sunday. Evan spent his fathers day bonding with his little lady's, I met them for dinner after work so that was nice. I work again tomorrow and then I'm off for some summer fun. 1st trip to meet my sisters and my mom in Illinois for my Nellie's 40th bday, yay! That trip is me solo, should be super fun! Then I come home for 1 day and leave for the Lindahls family reunion in Arkansas. Looking forward to it! I hope everyone else is enjoying summer!

                                                 Evan's 30!

 These are the pics that I wasn't able to post last week.

 Daddy helps coach the team, the coach can not handle 12 crazies. :o)

  Look at Ella's good arm!

 Uncle was teaching Eva to put grass in her mouth! Surprised she didn't gag!

                                            How sweet is this cuddling!?!?!

                               Uncle is mixing up some cement so Ella can mold her fingers/toes.

                                         Auntie caught the girls hiding from Uncle David. Pretty sneaky!

                                           Ella's masterpiece!

                                           DODGEBALL! Auntie looks like she is serious. :o)

                                            Eva's masterpiece!

                                             Uncle playing with the girls.

Mommy got to go shopping with auntie and we had a great time, I found a new headboard for my lil princess. :o)

                              I made a Barbie cake for the little girl next door; she loved it!

   Evan had a sweet little breakfast to get him started, along with his a gift; a guitar. Its on his bucketlist and he loved it.

I bought 30 helium balloons and put pics of Evan from 1-30; it looked pretty cool.

  Evan took Ella to a Reds game on Monday; they had so much fun. They went in early and got 2 balls from batting practice and didn't get home until 1am. At least Ella slept in the car and in the next morning until 10am.

     We met daddy for lunch at a Mexican restaurant on his birthday and brought a special treat.

 

                              Evan just got home from work and was opening a few more pics and cards.

     He got a REDS grill flipper and an automatic beer opener and a Reds bracelet and a few beers. :o)

                                                Evan telling the girls about some of the pics!

                                        The pic of him was from the morning when he got the guitar.

                         Evan and his beer cake; pretty creative, huh! Filling and satisfying!

       Ella had her 1st tball game this morning 6-8-13 and she was one of the luck ones to help with the flag ceremony. Lucky little lady!

                                                     Daddy helped pitch in the game!

Both teams were winners!

 

 

Alright there are all the pics that from this week and last and it took me half the time. I hope you all have figured out how to get back to this one. We have been a busy family AGAIN this week. I finally graduated out of orientation; I know its about time. Admissions are a hard thing to schedule so it was hard to get me signed off. Anyways Thursday I was on my own and had 4 visits and I put 100 miles on my car. I was one busy lady but I survived with a few calls to my clinical manager. The best feeling is to know I can actually do it, feels good. I then had to go back to work for the night so it was a lot of hours in one day but I had Friday off for Evan's bday and the weekend so it was worth it. Friday I spent all day preparing for Evan's little surprises and then we went out downtown in the evening. We had a good time, there was lots of live music and that's always entertaining. Summer is here finally as Ella had her last day of school on Wednesday. She is excited to be a big kindergartener and for trips we have planned this summer. I'm hoping to not have to work too terribly much because it would be nice to be able to enjoy my girlies. I miss them when I work and now since I'm out of orientation I don't have to work as much. I hope everyone is getting some summer sun.
