Hungry Horse is over for another year...

We survived! This year will go down in the books, pretty memorable. We survived two nights of terrible storms. Thursday night was worst for me, I just layed there and prayed for safety. Addisyn let out one peep and I plugged her and they both slept through it, thank the Lord. The girls had a great time, swimming in the pools, playing in the sandbox, the merry-go-round and much more. Kylynn did great, Addisyn ended up the packinplay, the first night was awful, don't ever try to put a 16 month old in the bottom bunk with a bed rail, it was like a little jungle gym for her. After that night we were smooth sailing.

Now the laundry has begun and it's time to pack for another week of camping. We head out Sunday to Holland State Park for the week, that will be fun! The beach this time, will be interesting with my sand lover Addisyn.

The girls are napping so I'm updating FB and my blog with photos from our camping experience. The house was also painted while I was away so we have to put it back together, tons to do, and I'm on the computer. I already put my stuff back, the knick knacks and photos, Jason will have to hang the stuff tonight.

We had Kylynn's 3 year, yes 3 year, pictures taken today. My friend Erin did them and I think they are going to turn out great! We had fun with it. I got a sitter for Addi and I think that really helped. I can't believe my little girl is turning 3 next week. All she wants is her princess kitchen. I'm pretty excited to give it to her. She also wants an ariel birthday cake so that is in the process of being ordered from a parent at school. Should be a fun time. Back to more laundry and pickin up the house.

Baby Tibbe has ARRIVED!!!

It's a boy! Yes, I have my first nephew. Last night we went up to the hospital to meet Cole Richard Tibbe, Jason and Courtney's new addition. He weighed in at 7 lbs 14 oz and was 21 inches long. He joined us around 9:45 a.m. yesterday. A healthy baby boy to add to the Vugteveen clan. Kylynn enjoyed holding him.

We headed to the ENT today for Addisyn, no luck on getting tubes. The next ear infection we will let him know and then they will do tubes. Big waste of my time today! The girls did great, despite the fact that Addisyn had pulled the wipes out of the diaper bag at the hospital last night and she sat through the entire appointment with a poopy diaper. Afterwards we headed to Target to purchase some wipes and do a little shopping, and of course change the diaper.My Addisyn - love this girl!

Will we ever have summer weather? I head out to Hungry Horse next week so I'm hoping for some warm weather. It looks like the weekend will be better, maybe I can get some sun tomorrow afternoon while the girls nap. We've been enjoying sleeping in and having fun together. The girls are so much fun to be around, most of the time. Kylynn is at that stage where she wants to do everything herself, on her terms. When I want to help if we are in a hurry she doesn't want my help but then if I want her to do something she needs my help. I don't think I'll ever figure her out.

Come sunshine and 80's Kylynn's ready!

Vacation

So vacation officially started for me last Friday. I am really looking forward to fun times this summer with my girls. No big adventures yet, just sleeping in and having fun. Yesterday Kylynn was up at 7:45 but today she slept till 9:00, yeah!!!!
I am happy to announce that I have a job for the fall, I will be teaching 6th grade at Jackson Park Intermediate School. This is really exciting for me, as I would have preferred 5th grade I think I will enjoy 6th grade and am looking forward to a challenge. I really wanted to be at this building and I think it will be a ton of fun working with all 5th and 6th grade teachers. My classroom is pretty much packed, thanks to my wonderful sister. Just need to finish up and move it out. Unfortunately I have to move it all home to move it all back in August but at least I have a job.
I'll post some new pictures soon. Enjoy the spring, chilly weather.
