The Swing Set

Our McKinney house had a tiny backyard so we weren't able to fit a swing set in it. This house has a little bigger back yard. Still not big enough for a huge play set but a stand alone swing set was going to be perfect. Dad and Mom came over last weekend and helped on the project. Baseball season has started so Jeff was not around but mom kept kids busy while Dad and I built away.

We started with a simple kit from Home Depot and it came with a ton of different screws, nails, bolts, etc.

Yes - I got after it with the power tools!

Is fun to think that I helped build this that my kids will enjoy hopefully for years.

It was a bit chilly but Harper insisted on supervising all afternoon. Of course her leap pad helped keep her busy.

Testing out the new slide

Brody enjoyed Papa's tools as well.

Thank you Papa and Mimi for giving up your weekend to help with our project!
They have been outside swinging every day since!

Droogsma Gender Reveal Party

My college friend and bestie, Natalie, is pregnant with their first and due just 2 days before me. It's so fun to go through this pregnancy with her and can't wait for our kids to be friends. Her sister in law hosted a fun gender reveal party for them. They had gone to the Dr. a few days before and had him write down the gender in an envelope. Then they had to wait patiently for the party to arrive so they could find out along with the rest of us.

They had mustaches and lips that you used to guess what the gender was. We skyped in Emily from Nashville. Before the big reveal our guesses were 3 girls to 2 boys.

The anticipation was killing Natalie.

Yeah it's a BOY!

Elisa just had baby Colin at the end of December and Natalie and I are both due 2 days apart with our boys. So fun that we are all having boys so close together.

We think our boys will be future Baylor Roommates.

This party was actually a few days before we found out the gender of our baby. I asked Harper to guess what she thought our baby was and she of course guessed girl.

Unfortunately for her, she was wrong and won't have a little sister. It's another brother for her.

Such a sweet time with dear friends!

It's a Boy

I don't think that I've actually blogged about this yet but I'm pregnant with our third child. I found out the week that we moved to Flower Mound. I just couldn't figure out why I was so exhausted and wanted to go to bed at 7 p.m. every night. At first I chalked it up to packing a house, moving, and unpacking with 2 kiddos "helping". But then realized that it was more than that. I'm due June 8th - just in time for baseball season to be over for the school year. The timing on this one was a little better than our first two. Harper was born the day before the first football game and Brody was born half way through the season. Let's just say that made for a v.e.r.y. long football season that year.
We found out last week that this one is a BOY!

We are really excited and can't wait to meet the 5th member of Team Sherman.

I don't think that Miss Priss will have any problem keeping 2 little brothers in line.

Superhero Harper

Last weekend Harper attended a Superhero birthday party for her classmate Wyatt. His mom made these adorable costumes for each child. They had fun doing obstacles and games and earning different pieces to their costume.

PajamaMamaRama

Last night Harper and I attended PajamaMamaRama at our new church. It is a special night for preschool and kindergarten girls and their mommies. We had lots of fun. The theme was Candy Land and the decorations and activities were all great.
