splash day

Andrew and I had a day at the Y with our preschool friends from church. Our church rented out the Y so we had it all to ourselves. It was so nice.

Here's Andrew taking a break and waiting on lunch.

The pool/SplashPad area. (I did not go down ANY of those slides!)

The HUGE waterfall! Surprisingly, we didn't get dumped on!
It was fun and I'm exhasuted! I'll be surprised if Andrew doesn't fall asleep at rest time today.

last day of preschool

Today was Andrew's last day of preschool. :( I definitely have mixed feelings about it. I haven't been feeling well lately and it's been a chore getting him to school. So, it will be nice to veg at home in the mornings for a bit if I need to...is what I keep telling myself.

Andrew LOVED school and his teachers. He really blossomed this year and all his teachers told me how he has really come out of his shell (which we could tell) and just really matured this year. He did really well and even improved on his evaluation!

Look how much he has grown!

You can tell by the doorknob. The pic above was taken last September and the one on the right was taken today.

Splash Day was today so we went up and had lunch with Andrew. Even Daddy, who got off work at 7 AM, cut his nap short so he could join us! Andrew was excited to see us!

Afterwards the kids were running around playing and Blake was right there with them. He thinks he's such a big kid!

Good times! We enjoyed our year at T.E.D.S. and will miss it next year!

pool and prego update

Today we finally got the boys a new pool. I was worried it was going to be too big but I think it's just right. On the box the dinosaurs head stands up, but as you can tell by the picture...not so much! The boys didn't mind tho.

They did have a blast going down the slide a million times!

I'm 13 1/2 weeks these days. I really thought that I'd have all this energy, but I'm still pretty tired. I'm not nearly as sick as I was, but I do have my days. I'm thinking this baby will be healthy tho...I've been craving pineapples, oranges and chicken salad. I have NO idea why the chicken salad...oh and swiss rolls. Okay, so maybe the baby won't be THAT healthy! I'm also already showing! I don't remember when I started showing with the boys but it didn't seem this early. If I hadn't already had 3 ultrasounds, I might think I was having twins!!! Guess I'll just chalk it up to a third pregnancy.

Well, these boys have had a busy weekend and were up late last night. So, I'm off to get them to bed!

bike boys

Here are the boys on their new bikes. The CARS one is actually Andrew's that he got at Christmas from Matt's parents. We hadn't put it together yet because it was too cold. So, both the boys got to enjoy their new bikes together. We figured it would be a big fight since they were different but so far they have surprisingly done really well sharing them!Andrew caught on right away. Blake, not so much! :) We figured it would be hard for him at first. Hopefully he'll be a pro at the end of the summer!!

I look forward to the day they can ride their bikes to the Splash Pad!

blake's party

Yesterday we had a very small party for Blake. We started at the Splash Pad....

Daddy playing with the boys.

Jennifer, Luke and Andrew playing in the helicopter.

After the Splash Pad we came back to the house for pizza and cupcakes!!

Blake was SO embarrassed when everyone was singing to him! It was funny. He blew the candles out so fast, I didn't even get a pic! And, the boy didn't even TOUCH the cupcake...okay, we'll he touched it, but wouldn't eat it! Don't worry...I didn't let it go to waste! :) I'm not sure if Blake is really our child...he doesn't really like sweets!?!?!?! Andrew with M & K scarfing down their cupcakes and ice cream!

Blake had a very fun day! He keeps telling me..."Mommy, Happy Birthday to you?" I think he thinks we should celebrate his birthday all week or something. Hmmm...wonder where he gets that from!!

happy 2nd birthday....

to one silly

little boy!!

vacation #2

Yep, we went on ANOTHER vacation and we JUST got back from one! This vacation was for the boys!! This year everyone gets to choose their vacation...mine was AR, boys was Sea World, and Matt's will be in June when we go to Destin with his family. Then, we are DONE! I don't care for traveling while I'm prego!

Anyway, we took at two day trip to San Antonio. We got there Saturday and headed straight to the zoo. Their zoo is pretty good but a lot of the animals were gone or in their homes so we couldn't see them. I wasn't really digging the zoo this time.

Looking at the grizzly bear!

Blakers would NOT look at the camera!!

All the kiddos...and no, we didn't plan the navy shirts.Sunday morning we headed to Sea World. Can I just say that getting to Sea World on Sunday right when it opens is the BEST time to get there!! It really didn't start to get busy until maybe 3 and even then it wasn't bad.

The only group shot we got.

I love Sea World! Their shows are great and short enough to keep the boys entertained. I think there are only 3 shows to see but there is so much more to do. Blake enjoying the dolphin show.Shamu!!

Feeding the dolphins. Andrew thought it was so neat that he actually got to touch a dolphin.Blake feeding a dolphin.
They also have a big play area for the kids. Can you tell Blake enjoyed it?
This picture cracks me up because Matt had no idea the boys were pouting. They did NOT want to leave!

We also road the Shamu roller coaster. I rode it with Andrew once and Daddy rode with him about 3 more times. Blake stood there crying. He wanted to ride it SO bad but he wasn't tall enough. I felt so bad for him because he would have loved it!

We also hung out at the indoor pool at the hotel. Blake was NOT afraid of the water! He is going to be a fish this summer. I hope I'm still able to take them to the pool by myself. He was a wild man!!!

I'm pretty sure the boys had a fun time. It's all they've talked about since we've been home!
