Mom Life with Adrienne

After church Brian did some more work with the excavator we rented. He dug out a small pond and got more rocks from our neighbors yards. 

The kids and I made a quick trip to the library. Our books were due so we returned them and grabbed some more to read. I let them play for a little bit. 

Then we headed off to Cedar Point. It started off rough. Austin's first ride he rode a roller coaster that he has rode numerous times and he lost his glasses. (they still have not be found). He was so upset. We tried to cheer him up by guying them hats to help with the sun, and going on different rides we normally don't ride. 

I even rode rides with him that I normally don't ride. He got in a little better mood.

It was nice that it was just the four of us we got to have a relaxing day and do what our kids wanted to do. We wondered around and spent a little time at the beach too. 

Dinner out on the patio, leftover ribs my brother in law brought over from his cookout. 

Getting work done on the patio while the kids played outside. 

A lone beautiful flower that the deer must have missed, it was gone the next morning. 

Another morning workout done before anyone else was awake. 

Austin has speech every Tuesday, and I had the girls I nanny for. They spend 30 minutes in the parking lot watching a movie and looking at look and find books. 

Instacart grocery orders have been my savor this summer. 

I put away groceries then the girls went outside. They swam for a little bit then were playing with a frisbee. One of the girls hit her sister in the face with a frisbee. Anna was a very good little mommy holding the ice pack to her face. 

We went to my parents house so they could watch my kids while I had an eyebrow appointment, doctor appointment, and ran to Sam's Club to buy what we needed for the kids birthday party. My dad was going through old pictures. 

Look at my hair.

There is no denying that Anna gets her dark brown eyes from me. 

My niece was also at my parents house. The kids started playing outside until it started raining, then they stole grandpas computer for a little bit, and destroyed the living room with toys, exactly what grandkids are supposed to do. 

Happy Birthday, Audrianna turned 5

Anna spent a few hours at Grandma's house having a playdate with her cousin. 

Then it was off to game 2 for us of Austin's baseball playoffs. Austin's team ended up losing the game, which they kinda knew going into it because they were playing the best team in the league. 

I nannied for a few hours in the morning. Then we went and picked up Ella. She had been at her dads for a little less than two weeks. We were all happy for her to be home. It was also shark week and Ella prepared a Shark Week trivia. 

I spent most of the day cleaning, doing laundry, and party prepping. 

Since we had no baseball we had a relaxing morning. We visited this cute little local coffee shop that I kept wanting to go to. It is on the far side of town and not where we go very often. It is small and adorable inside and carries a lot of other local items. 

The coffee was really good too and it is cheaper than Starbucks, now only if it had a drive thru.

After coffee we walked around a farmers market.

Then stopped by Trader Joes to stock up on staples and some wine. 

I noticed the pile of shoes that Anna had in the car. She has the habit of taking off her shoes and leaving them in the car. She had 5 pairs of shoes. The joke is she is going to be opposite of me and have enough shoes compared to I have gone on vacation and forgot shoes at home. 

More birthday party prep. Ella is something else. she has a balloon under her shirt while she decorated. 

The party was a lot of fun. The kids all got along and loved the water slide. I did make rules only going down the slide, and one kid at the top at a time. 

We also did some water balloons. 

My mom made the kids cakes again this year. Anna picked out an Ariel. 

Austin picked out a video game themed cake.
