It's The Best One Yet.

I've mentioned before that Jared makes kid's games for the iPhone and iPad.

Did I mention that Hannah thinks all these games are made just for her?

She thinks he's off at work everyday making her a game. It's sweet.

I go along with it.


Bugsy Pre-K comes out today.

We've been playing it for awhile as the test subjects and I can tell you...


It's our favorite game yet!


The cool part of this game is that it advances or becomes more simple depending on your kid. If they get everything right, then it gets more challenging.


You can adjust the settings so that it focuses on certain subjects if you want.


And it keeps track of how well your kid is doing in each area.


After a few games, they earn a toy for Bugsy's room. 
And the toys are fun to play with.

We love Bugsy. You will too.



You should visit their website and read their bios in the "about" section.
I laugh every time.

I Smile.

It was one of those weekends that reminds you that your family rocks.
I think I needed it.
I'm not one of those moms that always loves their kids.
Especially between the hours of 4-5 am and 5-6 pm.
Sometimes I really think I could breathe fire.


First, Hannah now eats spinach as a snack. Whaaaaaat...!
It made me question my sanity.
You would have to know her eating quirks to know what a phenomenon this is.
Makes me feel like a successful parent.


We have a new weekend tradition.
We find a new fun spot to ride bikes to and grill
It's super fun. 
We all love it.
Love it.



Asher is pretty much obsessed with his sunglasses. 




It makes me smile to watch how cool he thinks he is.
I want my life.

Because.


Hannah likes you because you get into the water with her.


Asher likes you because you're strong and do all the fun tricks.


I like you because you do the laundry.


We love you because you're a caring dad and husband.
We need you. 
We like the attention.

Happy day to you!

Life.


Life recently slowed down. I like slow.


I also like this picture of Jared. 


Our first Mother-daughter date. 
We went with friends.
Kung-Fu Panda.


It's hard to tell. But Asher thinks he's so cool right now.
He was radiating coolness.


Tiny feet in big shoes is always a reason to smile.
I love my Chacos. 
I already have the tan lines on my feet.


I used to judge moms who let their kids stay in diapers
all day with no clothes on....


I don't anymore.


He likes to look at me like this. I like it too.

In Yoga, it's called the downward dog pose.


I bought a museum membership.
It gets me into almost everything around here. 

Cool.


At least once a week (twice yesterday) 
I get some sort of question as to whether Asher is a girl or boy.

It doesn't offend me a bit. 

He's pretty.


Preschool is over. 
Hannah loved it and was loved. 
Her teacher, Ms. Betts, was fabulous.


We take turns brushing each other's hair.
This is the official position on the couch.


I have honest to goodness jealousy.
This is how he looks when he takes a nap.
It looks so comfy.
As mentioned before, he has an addiction to specific blankets. 
The worst case I've ever seen.


Our kids navigate technology well. It's impressive.


I love them...


So much... It kinda hurts.


I have to hose my kids off at the end of every day...


Sometimes twice. 


The water is usually brown.

I Hate June.

Wow.

This really stinks.

It's getting old and I don't want to do it again.

Every June I have to say goodbye to really good friends. They graduate and leave.

Last June I had to go shopping twice to help with the depression it caused me. I moped around for a month. I even cried.

This year will be just as bad.

Here, friends are your family.

Hannah got her June dose of friends leaving today.

Her and Violet had their last pow-wow.


Side note: We are not moving away. Other people are. 
We graduated, but are staying and living normal life.
We live near U of C. People come and go every year.


He is so entertaining.

I love when people visit.  Especially my mom.  She takes care of me.


Thanks for coming Mom! Love you!
