July 14-20

Monday morning, Silas thought it would be fun to wake up at 5am. Great. But he went back to sleep about an hour later, until 8ish. We got up, and Jon's little brother was up already too. Jon took a shower and his sister woke up. Jon made breakfast and then I took Silas over to Jon's mom. Jon's sister grabbed some stff then we headed back. The boys were at our house working out. We got all geared up and we headed out to Jump Creek. I was SO mad because I forgot to grab my camera! Grrr!  We got there and hiked up the first steep part of the mountain. When we got to the top, we knew we weren't going to do the entire thing. We just went back down and went swimming. haha. It was a lot of fun. We headed back to Boise and ate dinner with Jon's mom and then came home. Jon's mom bought Silas a walker, Johnny Jump Up and a play pen! Thanks again for everything, Lisa! :) We were all pretty sleepy when we got back home. The girls went to bed, and Jon and I followed suit shortly after with Silas. 

Walker baby!

Tuesday, Silas woke up about 6:30. I was able to get him to go back to sleep though after a bottle and some cuddles. He slept until about 9:30. It was a nice treat. We got up and Kira was already up, like usual. She was just hanging out in her room though. Silas hung out in his walker for a while, just scooting an inch here and there and chewing on the toy tray. I cleaned up the kitchen and did some laundry. Jon came home and took a nap on the couch. Silas fell asleep right after he did. 

Like father like son

The girls and I made dinner. They wanted to help make the meatballs, so I let them, while I finished up the last bit of laundry. Silas outgrew his current clothes, so after dinner, I folded them and packed them up. It makes me so sad packing up all his cute little clothes and getting bigger ones. He's growing so much faster than I remember the girls growing. :(

Wednesday I decided would be a lazy day. The kids and I just hung out. I played a video game (which is rare if you know me!) while Silas napped, and the monitored the girls' game of Candyland. Jon came home early! I was so happy! He worked out, and then came inside and he played a game! haha. We made a very unhealthy and yet delicious dinner of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and veggies and watch American Ninja Warrior. It was a nice relaxing day. 

Thursday, Jon let me sleep in because I was up most of the night with Silas. His stomach was upset and he cried his pained cry when I put him in his bassinet, so he was with me all night. Maddie's Elsa backpack finally came. She is so excited to start school! I can't believe it's next month!

Maddie's Elsa Backpack

Friday was Jon's long day at work. Nothing too spectacular happened, well for me and the kids anyway. Maddie played some Skyrim for the first time. Jon came home and we had salmon for dinner.

Saturday, Jon had to close, but Silas didn't want us to sleep past 7am. So we had an early morning. As soon as we came downstairs, he fell back asleep though. The rest of the afternoon was pretty boring. Maddie played Skyrim and I made some dinner for the three of us. The girls wanted a pie, so I made one after dinner. 

Sunday, I let Jon sleep in. When he got up, he did the yard. As soon as he was done, I took the girls to the store to get some stuff for Jon's sister. We headed out to his mom's house for her party. It was really nice. I do wish we lived closer though! His mom made some awesome pulled pork that was AMAZING. The girls had fun playing and Silas liked all of the attention. haha. All in all, it was a pretty good week.
