Tis the Season for Summer Birthday Parties
Posted on July 23, 2011 by Ching under Babies, Wishlist.
A bunch of our friends decided they would have babies at the same time so their kids are now all turning two. We were invited to a birthday party every single Saturday over the next three weeks. Yikes! I guess it could have been worse. The birthday parties could have all been scheduled over one weekend. LOL.
I always ask the parents for a wishlist to simplify the gift-buying process on my end. As you all know, I’m a busy person. Between work and working out, there really isn’t much time left in my day. Gina Ann, who is always on top of things, was the first person to send me a wishlist. I found the best gift for Carolyn from her list (something educational that also looks like fun for the kiddo) so, to further simplify things, I just asked Apple and April if Zane and Gavin have this same toy already. As luck would have it, neither did. I ended up buying three of them — online, so I didn’t even have to leave the house. Bam! Gift shopping done. Just like that.
You might find my methods a little tacky but, you have to admit, it’s pretty efficient. Plus, wishlists are always the way to go. This way you don’t end up with stuff that you either already have or absolutely have no use for. But that’s just me.
By the way, all three gifts are wrapped and ready to go. Am I good or what?

Siemens Facility in Hutchinson, KS

We got to tour the Siemens USA wind turbine nacelle assembly facility in Hutchinson, KS the other day. It was really cool. You know that show Modern Marvels on the History Channel? I felt like I was in one of those episodes.

Swimming with the Cole Fam
Posted on July 16, 2011 by Ching under Life.
Kind of glad that tot’s night got canceled because then we were able to get in some pool time with the Cole fam. Carolyn seemed to have a lot of fun getting tossed back and forth like a basketball by mommy and daddy. She was getting a lot of air and it freaked me out a little, but Gina and Coley managed to catch her every time. Whew!
This is my favorite underwater pic of Gina because her hair is going everywhere! LOL.
The water temperature was just right and the weather was perfect. It was late enough in the day that it wasn’t too hot outside. I’ll have to remember that Friday nights are good nights to go swimming because we have the pool to ourselves.
