Top 10 Mommy Items


Ear thermometer - I sing its praises ALL the time


Medicine syringes - these are the best! I also like the Target pharmacy bottles.  


Baby Sling - or some other wrap that you use to wear your baby


Cool Mist Humidifier


Saline spray - makes sucking out those stuffy noses sooo much easier.  The AYR brand has a tiny tip for tiny noses.


Costco Wipes - I will never buy another kind of wipe, ever.


Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child - I still turn to it for advice on sleeping issues


Bath and Body Works Lotion - the only lotion that covers the smell of wipes, poop and Desitin, even after you have washed your hands.  I'm just sayin'.  


Foaming Baby Wash - for when they are tiny.  I hate to admit but when I actually bathed my newborns, I had to call my mom because I was always terrified to do it.  She usually ended up coming over and it would magically happen while she was here.  Thanks mom.


Boppy - I loved using it, but I was always too lazy to get up and go find it when I needed it again.  

Out on the Water



We headed out to the lake one afternoon, it was warm and clear and the water was like glass.  We all had a great time. 

Zoe kept asking for more crazy 8's and Keira bounced up and down. They loved the being in the water as much as the tube, maybe even more.






Grandpa brought the boat and we got out the ski, wakeboard and tube and jumped on in :)







My brother Tanner came with us and after only 4 tries got right up on the wakeboard like a natural! He did great!

Keira helped us with the flag and telling Grandpa when the skiiers went down.  Sharing some goldfish with Uncle Tanner.

 

 

Zoe cheered for the skiers and made sure she sampled all the treats we had.  She got a bit cold but it didn't keep her out of the water.  She just wrapped up in a towel while waiting her turn.

Sweet ski shot of Kevin, if I do say so myself.  Not bad at all for bumping along, camera in one hand and baby in another

Kevin grinned the whole time we were out especially while skiing and pulling munchkins on the tube.

Sweet crash shot of Kevin, I think you can see his foot

Penny and I helped hand out snacks and snap a few pictures. It was the perfect way to spend an afternoon. 

 





Sasha kept trying to climb over the back of the boat when we would stop.  We asked her where she was going and pointing, she said "watuh".  For a girl who talks all the time, about everything, she got right to the point.  She knew what she wanted and was going right after it.
