weekend round up

maybe the title is a little misleading, because i want to recap the past few weeks and weekends that we've had since the beginning of january.  we've been a pretty busy family with work and everything else, it's hard to make it to the computer all the time.  

the past few weekends we have enjoyed watching garrett and ned hurd coach a group of boys (13-14 years old) in basketball.  i didn't know how much jay really enjoyed it until this past thursday when garrett was going to practice, jay had a total meltdown and thought he was going to a game.  so far the team has won three and lost two.  not too bad!!!  they've got a good little team and hopefully they can win the rest of their games.  can't wait  until this thursday night when they have another game.  i think it is exciting for both me and nicole (ned's wife) to just go out and cheer for these guys.

on occasion, i've picked up a bundle of three at daycare when olivia's and owen's parents have to work late.  this past time i found out livvie really on likes her parents to pick up, but by the time we reached the house everyone was okay and ready to play.  i managed to take care of three little ones and cook homemade potato soup at the same time.  

last weekend peyton king celebrated her 2nd birthday at her house.  who knew that it would be such a wonderful weekend and we could even enjoy a little time outside.

 she got her jessie!! and bullseye.  don't touch jessie or she'll have a meltdown.

 look what jay got!!  i think anything in a bag is exciting at this age.

recently this week, we've pulled out the playdoh to play with it.  jay loves to cut it with his scissors.  playdoh only comes out on rare occasions and only at the kitchen table.  

and lastly, we celebrated olivia's 2nd birthday yesterday at mcdonalds.  one of the mcdonalds in matthews has a play place for kids 3 and under.  it is such a perfect place to have a party and you don't have to worry about cleaning up your own house.
