Spring Break 2016- Day 6

On Day 6 of this epic adventure, Matt flew back home to Reno. He was teaching a class at TMCC and it was their final. Slightly important for the instructor to be there for the final! He then flew back to Vegas on Day 7 so we could make the drive to Fresno/Yosemite.

Day 6 in Vegas was quite enjoyable! I love being at my parents' home. We have such a good time playing games and watching movies. They do spoil the girls when I'm not looking. But that's what grandparents are for, right?

I also went out to dinner with Jon B! Love him :-) I appreciate that anytime I tell him we'll be in Vegas, he makes time to see us, even if but for a 20 minute chat. I took the girls to Bouncy World- to wear them out- and Panera- to get my fix- and our time in Vegas came to a nice end bright and early the next morning.

We bid my parents farewell, drove to get Matt from the airport around 8am, then headed to Fresno. in Fresno we had dinner with Erin B and family. I am starting to have more and more of those moments when I see high schools kids, and college kids, who are taller than me and all I can think as the loom over me is that I used to babysit them! I changed their diapers! This visit was no exception. Erin's kids are pretty awesome to hang out with. As is her husband ;-)

Post dinner we made it to the hotel before the pool closed and froze our toes before warming them in the hot tub.

After you clean your room...

This evening Cassidy revealed to me a small secret to keeping her occupied. After dinner she asked me if she could watch a show. We don't have tv, but we do have netflix through the wii on our tv and we watch all the greatness that PBS and Nickelodian have to offer! Except for Caillou because I think he's kind of whiny. Anyway, she gets to watch limited amounts of Diego, Dora, Dinosaur Train, Super Why, Word World, etc and sometimes we throw in some Cosby Show for good measure. She'll pick two shows and watch one, 20 minute episode of each and then we call it good. Well tonight when she asked for a show, I told her she could watch one episode of her favorite after she cleaned her room. She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

Back 2 School 2024/2025

 The start of a new school year is scattered and quite full as we begin the fall with a bang on multiple campuses.  We gave Savannah a few options for her start to middle-school. She was at WES for 3 years and had made a solid, core group of friends- super strong connections! All of them were headed to the zoned school of Greylock regional, grades 7-12. Going to Greylock wither friends would mean we would have to drive her, school choice does not provide a bus. It would mean she could not do all the things because of the commute and our schedules, her options to get involved would be limited. If she chose to go to the school we were now zoned for, she would be walking distance to Miss Halls and could do alllll the things- go for it! Join every club, try out for the plays, do all the sports.  Y'all already know, Savvy chose her friends lol. It is hard. And she is so happy. And never complains, because she understands with this choice, her options are limited. We have been ...

The Weekends

The weekends have a new meaning to me now.  Saturdays are the perfect day because I get unlimited access to Cassidy. During the week I have to share my time between work, chores, tasks, and more. Sunday we have church and prep time for the week. But Saturday is magical. Saturday is for adventures in the park and incredible views in the mountains you can only reach by foot. Saturdays are for sleeping in or getting up early and making a big breakfast. Saturdays we sometimes stay in our pajamas, and others times we get all dressed up for no reason. On this particular Saturday Cassidy and I met up with some friends at church for the first End of Summer Fair. We had a good time...
