Six flags, the zoo, magic house, swimming/skiing at Nana and Papa's lake house and much more.....</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">While we were "home," my cousin got married, so that was a blast being ALL TOGETHER. It was awesome to see Sloan and Q on the dance floor, idolizing my cousins and never wanting to leave....I think we rolled out of there at almost midnight. Then, we were able to spend a nice visit with My Nana and Papa---Q is so proud to call them Great Nana and Papa. They are 82 and 83 and love to have these kiddos around.

Tonight I was putting Q to bed and he was asking a lot of questions, hard questions, I might add. "Where will you be when I am married? Will your hair be gray? Did you meet Daddy when you were a little kid like me? Did you go to the same primary school as him? <div><br /></div><div>So I start to question, where is this coming from? and so inquisitive at such a young age. The sweetest was when I talked about marriage and I asked him who he thought he would marry? </div><div><br /></div><div>He said, "My sister, because I love her the most, mom! 100 million times over and over!" <div><br /></div><div>Now, I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">definitely</span> not saying they are perfect all the time, nor even 1/2 the time, but it's great to see the coaching about loving family, friends, and neighbors that we sometimes feel goes out the window, pay off!!!

Needless to say, it was a hot one and we all ended up coming home to slam some lemonade and nap on the couch, those little legs get tired fairly quickly and these parents were exhausted too! Guess, I know a way to get them to bed early at night!

I thought about our little cutie all day after I saw her name on the toilet.<br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Janellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14041125640498632704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752008502123863011.post-66796133527590957992010-03-23T18:45:00.000-07:002010-03-27T14:00:17.502-07:00Q's Body Works<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhalcLuM0bO746GGBDX-G0WalErILX2r1fI2kE1OrsMyeWq068au45fkEpnhMZqE9bpBTptbuDanIp7Uj6H_eBkaKnSyQZ89T9CsqCJIe3kkhO2pHCk7wU4WdLmOblsJM35Dji65hgVeSk/s1600/IMG_6927.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 182px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhalcLuM0bO746GGBDX-G0WalErILX2r1fI2kE1OrsMyeWq068au45fkEpnhMZqE9bpBTptbuDanIp7Uj6H_eBkaKnSyQZ89T9CsqCJIe3kkhO2pHCk7wU4WdLmOblsJM35Dji65hgVeSk/s320/IMG_6927.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453419375266758002" /></a><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>"the insides"<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHFzWEHFV5Mxlx39SmTHehKo9ACCngQOahZ6b3ym61xiKexPfdYv5z0gvHd41EFReA-3NHl8Ub1mGSyPEUvOjFTkzSkapeQxekSNsGftiI_ZBp9EWMVUqrd-WlL7kiJRHexa_vT6sD4II/s1600/IMG_6921.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 179px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHFzWEHFV5Mxlx39SmTHehKo9ACCngQOahZ6b3ym61xiKexPfdYv5z0gvHd41EFReA-3NHl8Ub1mGSyPEUvOjFTkzSkapeQxekSNsGftiI_ZBp9EWMVUqrd-WlL7kiJRHexa_vT6sD4II/s320/IMG_6921.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453419369518006802" /></a><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>"explaining how the brain works"<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZO03ebepiisRjb22QFo40eCsCAjh3Yl371p0XFUdr7O9bSZPvVDf8fQ2His18dUr8K03IgkHagwnKRaAn3bpRGkeOGY025S50_VAdE8_c6iFw7YJK8O9C2yIH04EXY1UVaOic3DboH0A/s1600/IMG_6622.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 179px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZO03ebepiisRjb22QFo40eCsCAjh3Yl371p0XFUdr7O9bSZPvVDf8fQ2His18dUr8K03IgkHagwnKRaAn3bpRGkeOGY025S50_VAdE8_c6iFw7YJK8O9C2yIH04EXY1UVaOic3DboH0A/s320/IMG_6622.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453419361237297362" /></a><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>the final project of the "outsides"<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNCdhKyOJ1p9XgKzZYMspgX_mEySYtLVb2Wgel6N_SMhpyeLq49Ah7dFncF9rVShxRSEy5RJh-Aj8XEDtl4wDi9uZI2TQLxUZE20y2dd3zp0lToOKJO5D8glJI9bFSpQyucGM6dwTTc8U/s1600/IMG_6599.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 179px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNCdhKyOJ1p9XgKzZYMspgX_mEySYtLVb2Wgel6N_SMhpyeLq49Ah7dFncF9rVShxRSEy5RJh-Aj8XEDtl4wDi9uZI2TQLxUZE20y2dd3zp0lToOKJO5D8glJI9bFSpQyucGM6dwTTc8U/s320/IMG_6599.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453419355615461554" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMqrkQTppdojHTNK5N6mV6vllODHtHbEHcf-esEiSLPZcm6R7MAoF_ysDykIEsUpLkPzoRWS2CdrZzHTP_ilw17gU-OqrMnQSPLoyeHXtU1r81TAsyzpPIQbbPK5a4zRQAI_s3rA8-OoI/s1600/IMG_6596.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 179px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMqrkQTppdojHTNK5N6mV6vllODHtHbEHcf-esEiSLPZcm6R7MAoF_ysDykIEsUpLkPzoRWS2CdrZzHTP_ilw17gU-OqrMnQSPLoyeHXtU1r81TAsyzpPIQbbPK5a4zRQAI_s3rA8-OoI/s320/IMG_6596.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453419344621807010" /></a><br />Q has been working on a project at school to understand the "how" and the "why" our bodies are put together the way we are. The first adventure was to paint a life-sized version of his <b>outsides</b>. Before they began painting they examined their features in the mirror. Q noted his brown hair and grey green eyes. Also, during this time they have been talking about the 5 senses and what he likes and dislikes. We know he likes the taste of mac and cheese (he'd eat it everyday if we'd let him), he dislikes the smell of Sloan's poop......, he likes to have the movie, or the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Wii</span></span></span> up really really loud (so no <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">problemo</span></span></span> with hearing) and he even created his name in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">braille to understand how the blind absorb life around them.</span><div><br /></div><div>Next, they constructed a working model of the <b>insides</b>.

The night started off with us all making our own personal pizzas, and let me tell ya they were "our own". We then played a competitive game of soccer (adults verses the kids), hide and seek in pairs and some star wars (of course) ...... finally we ended the night with the movie <i>Ice Age</i>. The kiddos had a blast, were so well behaved (of course M and M always are) and they slept fairly well. The morning wake up was the best; I could hear them talking and giggling in a "kids whisper" for me to come in and see them cuddled all together talking about school, friends and and the what the adventure was going to be for the day. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"> Their conversation was so sweet and priceless.</span><div><br /></div><div><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Well the party had to end with a little more sugar..... some sprinkled Shamrock cinnamon rolls and a little milk to wash um down!!!</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"> I know they all will sleep well for the next few nights to come, all because of the fun sleepover at Papa's house.

Sloan decided to fall into the recliner chair and get a big old black eye. We felt so bad, because it just looked so bad yet, I think it looks worse than it felt. Everyone looks and her and "us" everywhere we go, "what happened?" and the explaination goes on. We felt so bad for her little eye, but it has started to cleared up very well already and next week you won't even know anything happened. <div><br /></div><div>Then the big news was that the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">DQ had to open just when we moved to town. (Not really..) Therefore, every night we have been craving yummy blizzards and ice cream cones piled with sprinkles</span>. We've made a few trips and plan to make a few more before we head out. Big news in this little town! </div><div><br /></div><div>Papa and Jane decided to head west to Arizona for the month (we miss them already!) We were able to get everyone together for a pizza party and enjoy some crazy fun with kiddos singing and dancing all night! </div><div><br /></div><div>Finally Quinton learned to roller skate. I was so proud of Q. This was his first time and he did awesome!!!! As we approached the rink, he watched closely all of the big kids and initially said, "the first time I fall we're outta here!" Well, that wasn't the case because he did fall and it didn't matter, he loved it. We all laughed so hard we cried. Q did very well and we look forward to many more adventures to the rink...next time with our cousins! </div>Janellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14041125640498632704noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752008502123863011.post-28940432982561771122010-02-18T18:37:00.000-08:002010-02-20T06:24:36.229-08:00Sibling Love!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiNawYsRe6rDsMKlOQzrDvncwtnnTrRebRLSsppfBe1RhXHAQksIZD4Lvi_3xsDSSS1stCMfAv8UaK_m4rn_Ws0IPk9Vs-1hSGhsbEjTirFHuzlJYHG3qUY8wiljjgaZugC-e2l5Mk664/s1600-h/IMG_6392.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 179px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiNawYsRe6rDsMKlOQzrDvncwtnnTrRebRLSsppfBe1RhXHAQksIZD4Lvi_3xsDSSS1stCMfAv8UaK_m4rn_Ws0IPk9Vs-1hSGhsbEjTirFHuzlJYHG3qUY8wiljjgaZugC-e2l5Mk664/s320/IMG_6392.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439781471339957074" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipDWXzCdgw8Ry4_JIvej9MdOAQMy2vObawWXy6AEPlTREDKlqWHek10d7K8ldHyXTaJJuFXYHJZSPuJz_k01Z8V77OmjpQ6kJthnFQAo0ME_maZI3jE_6X9nEVHh03yyjLNmk8HFiXVYA/s1600-h/IMG_6391.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipDWXzCdgw8Ry4_JIvej9MdOAQMy2vObawWXy6AEPlTREDKlqWHek10d7K8ldHyXTaJJuFXYHJZSPuJz_k01Z8V77OmjpQ6kJthnFQAo0ME_maZI3jE_6X9nEVHh03yyjLNmk8HFiXVYA/s320/IMG_6391.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439781466249661554" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDvEwXVhUVWCZYAltgyMN6aw5yZ17N0HOoqu3_1KhY6GtoT4bH0YL77ELR5_U8dh23avIAWedvJWuJpj10o1R1OndePjDuyFj8O0XPw6clDzYy1cfEQ_-1wtFNFSMhBXtEXZCONLmTPAo/s1600-h/IMG_6390.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDvEwXVhUVWCZYAltgyMN6aw5yZ17N0HOoqu3_1KhY6GtoT4bH0YL77ELR5_U8dh23avIAWedvJWuJpj10o1R1OndePjDuyFj8O0XPw6clDzYy1cfEQ_-1wtFNFSMhBXtEXZCONLmTPAo/s320/IMG_6390.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439781460183638034" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi41EqWaSIrARLpZb4eyQO8PkGB3Dg6t1uyaK0PZ2tdZ39UUSjqBSYsOrXLBGBaZ7ntGDoct76fLIzQgGbJBBJuV8ni4nUX8N5erd1pxLFT1rjNsq2KkAbPllMP5SX0jtYJawfKq14ZfP8/s1600-h/IMG_6389.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi41EqWaSIrARLpZb4eyQO8PkGB3Dg6t1uyaK0PZ2tdZ39UUSjqBSYsOrXLBGBaZ7ntGDoct76fLIzQgGbJBBJuV8ni4nUX8N5erd1pxLFT1rjNsq2KkAbPllMP5SX0jtYJawfKq14ZfP8/s320/IMG_6389.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439781449907761090" /></a><br />A few shots of the kiddos being silly!Janellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14041125640498632704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752008502123863011.post-50049096352577273142010-02-17T19:50:00.000-08:002010-02-18T18:24:06.303-08:00We've Officially MovedFeb 4th was such a bittersweet day! <div><br /></div><div>We were thrilled to have this opportunity and ready for the next adventure, yet very sad because of all the special memories we had in our home for over 12 years. Aaron and I walked around the bare home, reminiscing about us practicing our first dance for our wedding in the living room before all the furniture had moved in, bringing home both babies with special guests showering us at the front door, the addition that Aaron dreamt up one evening in bed and then the calls that a tornado had hit our home when it all began, but most importantly all the friendships that were formed over the years. </div><div><br /></div><div>I realize a house is a only a house and you can leave it behind; it's the memories that you share that you will last forever and can and WILL be brought for the next chapter.</div><div><br /></div><div>So here we are, we've officially moved into Papa's and are having a blast. Papa has been so generous to literally let us TAKE OVER his house. Andi, <a href="http://thesullivansitcom.blogspot.com/2010/02/our-new-neighbors.html">Trac</a> and the kiddos are next door and we're lovin it! It's been constant laughter, a few cries and a whole lot of fun! We have seemed to be able to follow several rituals already, La Fiesta Friday nights, Judy's Saturday morning breakfast and we'll usually find ourselves calling one other..."It's taco Tuesday, dinner's over here tonight," ok, I have some sour cream, I have the cheese...." Need less to say, I think it will be hard to leave Morton now.....keep you posted on a closing date in March! </div>Janellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14041125640498632704noreply@blogger.com1
