July 11th-17th

Last post and we'll be caught up...for now!  

On the 11th, we were pretty busy.  I had to do 3 loads of laundry because I needed to pack Jayla a suitcase to go stay with her cousins for a week (the ones that live downtown)...and since we just got back from vacation, I hadn't caught up on the laundry yet.  While doing that, I noticed Sterling was just laying around.  She didn't have a fever (yet), so, we finished up then headed to our play date with Lily and tell Mrs. Pam Happy Birthday.  We brought her some cupcakes and a gift.  During the play date, Sterling did come down with a fever, but our nurse Pam gave her some medicine and she laid on the couch for awhile.

On the 12th, we drove to Kansas City and bought a new car.  While we dealt with the dealers, the kids played in the playroom.  Such a nice feature in a dealership! Sterling still had her fever and when we got to the hotel she just wanted to sleep.  She actually fell asleep in my arms signing papers.

Nick's new ride.  For the past month he's been looking online to upgrade his car.  He had the 2013 BMW 328i, but we'd never take it anywhere because the kids just didn't look comfortable.  Now he has a 2011 Volvo XC90...he wants to be like me (I have the XC60) :)

On the 14th, the kids and I stayed home...

This boy...oh this boy.  He loves to dress himself.  I let him.  But daddy makes him change every time when he gets home if we go out on our walks.

On the 16th, the kids and I hung out at home.  After Nick got home from work, we headed to the sports store to pick up some dumbbell handles for our weight set.  After getting home we all headed downstairs to put together the weight bench from our old workout machine.

While we had a low key day, looks like Jayla was spending time at the park with her cousins 

Little's went to school in the AM on the 17th, after school we had a packed lunch and went to play with Lily.  While the kids played, Pam and I sewed these awesome skirts for the girls.  So easy and such a fun way to hang out!  I'm going to miss these guys so much!  We're going to see them in December though, so we're already looking forward to that! (Don't mind the shirt, it won't go with it when we actually wear it)

While we were having a play date, Jayla was too, with her other 2 cousins that live in the area they are visiting in MN.
