Brian and Celia took a little trip to Las Vegas for their anniversary, so we got to take care of Maden, Annie and Clark. We had so much fun, making german pancakes, going to McDonald's, and just playing and playing. They were such good kids. When it was time to pick Brian and Celia up at the airport, Maden and Annie were so excited to show their parents the posters they had made.
In June we got to tend Molly for a weekend while Jared and Nikelle went on a little get-a-way. We went to a dog show, and to Pango Mango Frozen Yogurt. We thoroughly enjoyed Molly and all her little antics.
Then just a couple of weeks later, we got to have Molly again! We had so much fun. She is so full of life and is such a good little girl. Ryder came to visit and they had to play in the baby jumper, silly kids.
At the end of July, we got to have both Molly and Ryder for a weekend while their parents were camping. It was definitely double the fun! What one wanted or was doing, the other wanted, especially if Grandpa was involved. We laughed and laughed. I have a new respect for anyone who has had twins. Luckily, they are both really good sleepers!
In August, Randy and Courtney went on a little Anniversary trip, so we got Ryder for a couple of days. He got to play games with Grandma Beth and I. We had a lot of fun! He loves stories and books.
During July, August and September, Brian and Celia played on a mixed doubles tennis league. So, Blake and I would go tend Maden, Annie and Clark while they played. When the matches were at Tautphaus Park we took the kids to playground. Maden and Annie always found other kids to play with at the park. They loved it! Clark got really brave and would go down the slides by himself by September. We also took them to Rita's one time, which is always a great treat.
On October 1st, Nikelle and Courtney wanted to go antelope hunting with Jared and Randy, so they left Molly and Ryder with me! Yes, just me because Blake went hunting too! So, I called in my mom (Grandma Beth) to help! We had so much fun checking out the flowers, swinging and blowing bubbles.
October 14 and 15 - Brian and Celia went hunting with Randy and Jared, so we got to have Maden, Annie and Clark again. It just happens that my birthday is the 15th, so I had some great help celebrating. We had some great fun activities. We put candles in the muffins at breakfast. The kids went to Walmart with grandpa, we made sugar cookies, carved and painted pumpkins. Grandma Beth brought pizza and brownies for lunch, so we put candles in the brownies. Ryder came to play and celebrate too. Such a fun day.
We tend Ryder 2 1/2 days each week during the school year. He is so fun the tend, and he loves "Papa". Mowing the lawn is one of their favorite activities. He loves playing with tractors, reading stories, going to Walmart, making a tall tower with some stacking buckets.
