I guess when you dramatically overpay for an American Girl doll, it is important to keep her safe when Daddy is driving!

Bedtime reading with their (fake) glasses, just like Mommy.

As she does nearly once a week, Macie broke into tears 5 minutes after leaving school, exclaiming that she had forgotten her "very important" fish picture and Miss Brenda would throw it away if it stayed overnight.  If only I could have videoed her reaction when I actually turned around to go back and get it. #it'sokaytogiveinsometimes

At Los Portales for dinner.  After Dale asked the waiter to make about 5 trips for different items, Ivie said, "Wow, Dad.  You are probably wearing that guy OUT."

This was supposed to be a picture of the girls rediscovering their love of silly bands.  Too bad for Bryce that the camera caught him climbing the trash can.  #busted

Macie (while pulling out a sticky note and preparing to write down the rules for today's water fight): "How do you spell, 'no squirting Macie in the face'?"

Treats just taste a liiiiiittle better when you're poolside...

Why do I get the feeling this won't be the last of this type of picture?!?  #livingwithbigsisters

Mommy finally got brave enough to bring me to the pool, too!

(As a thunderstorm rolls into town...)   Macie: "Look how hard the wind is blowing!  It sure looks eery outside!"   Ivie: "Do you even know what 'eery' means?!?"  Macie: "I have no idea."

Amy Schaeperkoetter Herman
Me: "Macie, we are going to the Bulls' game tonight!  Are you going to be a good girl and watch the whole game?  I think there are fireworks afterward!"  Macie: "Can I have a snack there?"  #priorities

Ivie (watching the first baseman throw warm-up ground balls to the infielders between innings): "Mommy, that guy is making AWFUL throws!"  #perspective

Probably 20 years since I last scored a baseball game.  And just as much fun as I remember it being with you, Jeff and Jane Schaeperkoetter!

Tonight, for the first time ever, a server at a party said to me, "Can I get you another beer?".  It felt odd, yet strangely amusing.  I didn't have the heart to tell her it was root beer.

Happy Father's Day to my five favorite dads!

Grandpa Dad, we wish you were still here to share our cookies, let us dress you up, and pretend to be Donald Duck!  We miss you every day, but especially on Father's Day!

First day of Course and Courts Camp...tennis, golf, swimming.   I'm pretty sure they will be worn out by the end of the day!!

(After overhearing Dale, Ivie, and me discussing chicken pox...)  Macie: "Mommy, can you buy more of those chicken pox?  I LOVE them!!"  Turns out she meant Peeps.  #thegirllovessugar

This morning, on my 3 1/4 mile country road run, I was passed by just as many trains (2) as I was cars.   #peaceful

From 20 yards away at the playground, I hear Nina trying to teach Bryce how to say "Nina Schaeperkoetter" instead of "Nina Schae Sherman".  #goodluckwiththat

Water gun fights!

Jefferson City Playground Fun

Playground time is a staple when we come to Missouri, and this summer's trip is no different.  And, with much-lower-than-normal temperatures in the 70's, it's actually even been bearable for the adults (this time, Nina and me) who get to tag along while the kids play.
