Happy Big Boy

After I threw away my pacer mommy and daddy took me to Barnes and Nobel so I could play with Thomas the Train. I also got my very own special drink from Starbucks!! As you can tell I really enjoyed the drink!!! This is me playing with daddy after we got home.

I'm a big boy now!

"The walk of doom"

Two days ago, mommy and daddy had me collect all my pacers and throw them away! Because they did not want them hurting my teeth, and I am a big boy now and do not really need them. After I threw them all away I only had a few moments of grieving. Now I am doing just fine without them. I sleep all through the night with no problems.

Here is the video footage of me throwing away my pacers. Mommy did not catch on camera when i threw the one from my mouth into the trash, I did it too quickly. Though I say I want them at the end of the video I did just fine after throwing them away. I am a big boy now!

Baby Anna Update

Mommy found out that the doctor is going to induce her between 38 and 39 weeks!!! That means baby Anna will be here in three weeks!!! She will have a June birthday, not a July one! I am not sure what I think about this. Sometimes I tell baby sister to 'come out now' other times I tell her to 'stay in' So we will see!

Today at the Splash Park

Today we met Ms. Jen and Jonathan and Josiah at the splash park! It was much hotter than last time we went so this time even the mommies stayed in the water most of the time.
Me and Josiah

All of us are waiting for the water to squirt up!
FUN FUN

How Much do I like ice cream???

THIS MUCH!!!! I love it and have been known to ask for it at breakfast lunch and dinner. This was me last night after supper while eating ice cream.

YES!


Some amazing microphone action!

Memorial Day Fun

Monday we got to go swimming at Aunt Cindy's house!! The above picture is of me and cousin Nicole and Jennifer and daddy. Below is just me and Jennifer.

We had such a fun filled day playing in the pool and then watching Horton Hears a Who. Mommy and Aunt Cindy visited Great Grandma in the hospital while we were watching the movie. Please pray for her, she is very sick and needs to get better!

Splash Park Fun

Gavin and I got to play at the splash park last Thursday. Amazingly it was nice and overcast so we actually got cold! That does not happen very often here. We had so much fun we just ran around like crazy. We are the ones in the blue swim trunks.
Here I am shooting a big water gun!! I LOVE this place.
PS for those of you who are my over protective relatives, the splash pad is not slippery so we can run and not get hurt. What an amazing invention!

Thanks Uncle Dave

Last week, Jonathan and Josiah invited us over to their Uncle Dave's pool to go swimming. Mommy doctor said she has to get in the pool as often as possible to help with swelling, and I definitely do not mind those doctors orders:) I mostly stayed on the top step, but had a blast!! Above is my and daddy playing.

Below is Jonathan, Josiah, Ms. Jen, and their Uncle Dave.
Mommy got Mr. Mark in this picture.

Having a blast kicking our feet and splashing!

Thank you Thank you

This is a picture of Mommy's cousins who are currently serving in Iraq! Thank you so much for your service. Please pray for mommies cousins that they are safe!

baby sister's room!!

Daddy got to take most of this week off, so one of the things we did was paint baby Anna's room! It is all purple!
Yes, I even got to help. You can tell by the picture I am VERY happy about helping out.
We still have a lot to do in the room, but when it is done we'll post more pictures!

Family Night

Daddy is all done teaching night classes for awhile, so he is always home at night now!!! I am soooo happy. At supper the other night I decided we should all go to the park after we finished eating. Mommy thought it was a good idea as long as we got to stop and get ice cream first! So, we got to eat ice cream, look at the ducks, play at the park, and then walk around the pond. So fun! I LOVE having my daddy home.

Splash Park Fun!!

Today I got to go to the splash park with Gavin!!! We had a BLAST. We are the ones in the blue shorts. I have on the darker sleeveless shirt.
Snack time...say cheese!

The sisters again!!
I am so proud of my aunties and hope to follow in their footsteps!

Brave Boy

Lately I have discovered how fun it is to jump off things, I now jump off anything I can. Tonight I also discovered how to climb up the back of the couch! That was very fun!!

FYI: mommy is now 31 weeks pregnant with baby sister, so that is why her belly is so big.
