Pretty, Pretty!!

I want to share my pretty flowers with you. I'm surprised by how beautiful they are this year. We did some rearranging and they look fantastic. I can't wait until we do more next year to replace the ugly bush took out!! Little Guy tries to dig them out every time we are outside. (He did help me plant them:)

Fuzzy Spiders!!

Little guy loves bugs and spiders (I know something other than Star Wars who would have thunk it). One day we decided to make a spider web out of tape. It was so much fun. He loved his colorful spiders. I was surprised by how long the web stayed in place. My boy is very destructive and I was sure he would take it down right a way. But he didn't. He had tons of fun. Baby girl enjoyed watching the fun!!!

Painting Fun!!!

Here are the truck pictures I promised previously.....

We had so much fun!! Messy but fun. He was so happy to show Daddy his art later that day. So proud!! He is such a little artist:)

We are back!!!

Boy did we have tons of fun at "Turkey Run State Park" this week!! We are back and glad to be. The kiddos had fun but were ready to be home. I have so many cute pictures. (I will post soon.) Little guy enjoyed walking on trails with daddy and papa. He observed a blue tailed skink walking on the ground within the first 10 minutes of arriving. Boy was he amazed. He liked the Nature Center and the snakes in it. One day he helped feed the birds. He really enjoyed everything it had to offer. I will post more later but for now I need to go because baby girl is crying.

Trucks, Trucks, Trucks....

Yesterday was a fun day! Little guy, Baby girl, and myself went for an adventure early in the morning. We packed up the car and drove a whole 3 blocks to our destination!!! Close to our house is a construction site. We packed a blanket and parked in a parking lot across the street from the site. We sat there watching the trucks for 40 minutes or so. He loved the excavator. Baby girl enjoyed herself too! All the trucks moving and dumping must of caught her eye. It was such a good morning.

After we arrived home, Little guy was still interested in trucks so we played with his trucks. We built homes out of foam blocks and the "trash" truck knocked them down. Then, still interested in playing with trucks. We painted with trucks. He liked the different tracks each trucks made on the paper. Then painting with trucks turned into painting each other. It was so much fun and so messy. Clean up from painting turned into "dishies"(aka playing in water.) He had so much fun!

Boy were we both tuckered out by the end of the morning. He slept for 2 and 1/2 hours!!!!

I'll post pictures soon of our painting fun!

We are still obsessed with STAR WARS!!!

I would like all of you to meet the JEDI in my life. Isn't he so cute. He even makes blaster sounds when he pretends to get you. We found this mask at Good will. He loves it as you can see!!



He makes me laugh. He and his dad have a new game. He shoots dad in the leg and dad hops on one leg. It makes him laugh so hard. Seeing the smile on his face makes me happy (even when I'm not happy with him play with weapons). Star wars is his life right now! He is starting to like trucks. So maybe he will stop his obsession with Star Wars (yeah right).

Happy Birthday Aunt Dacia!!!!!!

Tomorrow is Aunt Dacia Day!! Little guy helped mommy make her some cupcakes. We hand delivered them to her this evening. It was so much fun to cook with him!!!

"Sprinkle, Sprinkle, Sprinkle"

We hope you have a great birthday. Thank you for letting us visit you and sharing your cupcake with little guy!!!

It's been awhile...

Sorry it has been a very long time since I posted. I have my excuses....Little guy and Baby girl!!! They sure do keep me busy. I have so much to report so hopefully I don't forget anything.

1. Little guy is showing interest in the toilet. He tells me when he has poop in his diaper. He sings the pee-pee song when he wants to see on the potty (pee-pee in the potty). We started a sticker chart. He has pee-peed twice in the potty and pooped once. Yeah!! Baby steps to being fully in underwear. Thank goodness....(diapers are expensive). One thing that we do that has helped tremendously in getting him interested is every time (or most of the time) we put his BM from his diaper into the toilet for him to flush and then we talk about how poop goes into the toilet. What an interesting topic, unh?? (parents will understand.. you days are full of spit up and poop).

2. Baby girl is starting to take long naps in her crib compared to in my arms. Yeah!! She is a co-sleeper but during the day I need time to get things done and need to spend time with her brother. She take about a 2 hour nap each day and 2 smaller naps. I'm so excited!! I am able to have some time to myself. Woot-woot for me.

3. Baby girl is eating some veggies and fruits. She like sweet potatoes, pears, bananas, and carrots so far. She if very picky compared to her brother when he was her age.

4. Father's day was a blast. However, we had a very bad storm. Little guy is scared of thunder and is very clingy during storms. This storm was BAD and came out of no where. It happened so fast. We were at my hubby's parent's house and the neighbors tree fell on half of their house. The neighbor was fine but the house not so much. Little guy did not get to scared. It happened so fast that I think he didn't have time to panic.

5. I start a part-time job in August. I will be a preschool teacher to 2 and 1/2 to 3 year olds. I'm excited. The kiddos get to go with me and will be down the hall. I only work 2 and 1/2 days. I worried for baby girl because she is so attached to mommy. Very attached! She scans the room and if I am not in it she panics. She dislikes strangers. We have time to ease her into it.

6. Next week we are off to Turkey Run State Park for the week. I can't wait. Little guy will be so excited. He loves being out side and all it has to offer(bugs, snakes, leaves, water,etc.). It will be so much fun. I will have tons of pictures to share with you, I'm sure.

I'm sure I forgot some things but right now I am out of words. I will post pictures soon! They are growing so fast. I can not believe how fast they are changing. Before I know it they will be off to college:(
