Super Bowl XLVI

Super Bowl 2012! Not too big of a deal for our house since the Bears didn't make it. Our friends invited us over for a party. We are so lucky to have friends that host parties, otherwise we would probably just be doing our own thing at home. If the Bears EVER are in the super bowl, we will have to throw a huge party. Mike will be so excited.

Thanks for having us over!

Annie and I Went On A Date

Annie sometimes is on a different nap schedule than the other babies. On days that she naps twice she goes down around 10:30 or 11 then again around 4 or 4:30. On one nap days, everyone goes down for naps at 1:00 after lunch. Two nap days are nice, Annie and I usually get to spend a lot more one on one time together. She does a great job of self entertaining when the other kids are awake but if she is the only one up she wants to be by my side at all times. Sometimes she goes in the kids room and tries to wake them up. She loves being surrounded by her siblings.


While we were camping she somehow got on her 2 nap schedule. While the kids were having their nap, she and I went a did a load of laundry and played at the park. It was really fun to just play with her. She was so happy and just grinned and giggled the whole time.

This play toy age requirements were 5-12. The steps were just a little wider spaced, it had a climbing wall and a climbing rope ladder but that was really all the differences I noticed.

Annie going up the stairs all alone. She is so independent!

Come on mom!

She also goes down the slides all alone.
