Parade Time

Although, Bryan and I were exhausted from yesterday's events of landscaping all day (pictures to come soon!)and then taking the kids to see Cars 2 at the Drive Inn Theater last night,  we were still able to drag our butts out of bed to make it to our town's annual parade! 

And I'm glad that we did, because it was a beautiful day and the kids had a great time! 

I do believe that the kids are sick of the "paparazzi"  because I could not get any good pictures today!  So these will have to do! 

I hear we are in for a hot week and I can't wait!  Hopefully we will make it to the pool several times this week and this coming holiday weekend, I get a 5 day vacation!  I can't wait :)

Thomas Adventure!

The day that Christian has been waiting for has arrived!  We spent the afternoon with Thomas The Train!  I was so disappointed last year because Thomas only comes to Green Bay once a year and we were in Green Bay last year when he came and somehow didn't even know it!  So I made sure that I got tickets this year!

We went with my friend Jenna, and her son, Carson!  The boys had a blast and although Christian and Bryleigh didn't get their usual naps, we didn't have any major meltdowns!  Maybe a couple tantrums and Bryleigh did not have many camera friendly smiles today!  But overall, it was a success and we had a fun afternoon!

Here are some photos from our Thomas Trip:

And just to show you how crabby our little miss independent can be...

And the highlight of the day...Train Ride :)

I think we have our hands full, she has the beauty queen wave already :)

The day really wore Christian right out and he slept the entire car ride home!  

But not this girl!  She had a five minute "cat" nap and then proceeded to be cranky the entire ride home!  

And the best one of all...

You can surely tell that Bryleigh was done for the day!

Yesterday was a great mix up in my book because I had a work training in Wausau at noon so I didn't need to get up at my usual time.  It was so nice to be able to stay in bed and Christian came in to our bed and fell back asleep with me until 8:30!  This never happens!

My work training was very good and informative.  Now I will be bringing back the information on abuse/neglect reporting to inservice the staff! It was only 4 hours so then I headed home and one of my best friends, Jenna, came over with her little guy, Carson!  The boys had so much fun playing together!

We had a great dinner and evening!  And tonight we were looking forward to t-ball but now for the 2nd time this season, its been canceled due to the weather! And they don't make up games so out of 10 sessions, we already missed out on two :(  Bummer! 

Oh Baby!

No, I'm not pregnant!  No more babies for me right now!  But I did have a play date with my friend, Jenna, yesterday and I was able to get my baby fix for the month :)  Sweet baby Mason is just the cutest and only 6 days old!  He was a little bigger than Bryleigh and Christian when he was born and I just do not remember my babies being this tiny! 

After holding a tiny baby, it finally got me thinking that its time to throw out the stash of breast milk that has been in my freezer for almost a year! 62 ounces to be exact.  I tried to donate it but I found out you need like a ridiculous amount before they will even take it so I was going to save it and mix it in with Bryleigh's food and this just never happened.  So since she has been weaned for 4 months, I decided it was time! 

Our Father's Day was pretty low key!  The kids and I went to church and gave Bryan the morning to himself :) The kids and I had given Bryan his gift, an air compressor, earlier in the week so we had no big surprises today!  But we ate dinner at El Mezcal and headed in for the night!

I did a lot of cleaning and finally got Christian and Bryleigh's water/sand table put together! We will only be using it for water though because I'm pretty sure that whoever thought of this idea is crazy!  Have you ever mixed sand and water?????  Or maybe its just me and trying to be too clean!  They were so excited since they have been waiting since Christmas for this! 

I hope everyone had a great Father's Day! Now I"m off to bed with my amazing hubby, who gave me 2 wonderful children! 

TGIF

Here's a little sneak peak at our Friday Fun...

As I had talked about earlier in the week,  I had won Dells Season Opener Cards from our local radio station so we took advantage of this beautiful day and headed to the Dells.

We started out with a picnic lunch once again!

Denali and my Mom (One of the few I have)

After lunch, we played mini golf at Timber Falls.  Or what you could call mini golf, because it was more like hit the ball once and then pick up the ball and drop it in the hole for my kids!  Although, they had a blast :)

Too Stinkin' Cute :)

After golfing, we were ready to cool off so we were off to our 2nd destination...Mt. Olympus water and theme park.

The kids finished off the day by going on some rides!

And by the end of the day, we were all feeling like this...

But the kids did great, and we had yet another successful Dells fun Day :)
