Sunday Funday

What a great morning!!  We took the babies back to carousel park so Joey could ride the pony again.  When we got there it was a horse and not a little pony.  Joey did great!  Katelyn wasn't a fan and after 2 seconds on the horse she wanted off.

Timber!!!

We had a tree in our backyard that after all the massive rainfall we've had over the years, the ground got too soft to support our tree.  The kids and I came home last Tuesday to a tree in the driveway.

Happy Memorial Weekend!

What a great weekend!!!  We had great weather and got the kids outside as much as possible.  On Monday we had some friends over for a bbq.

Joey riding a pony

We went to a local park to get our family pictures taken.  We had never been there before and discovered a little farm.  On the weekends they offer free pony rides.  We asked Joey if he wanted a ride and he jumped at the chance.  He LOVED it!!!

Park Playdate with Piper and Evan

Today we met our friends at a new park.  It was great seeing everyone and fun watching the kids run around exploring.

Outdoor Fun

On Tuesday before therapy I took the kids outside to play on the jungle gym.  I got some cute pictures of the kids. 

While Joey was at therapy, I took Katelyn out for some frozen yogurt.  I think she liked it.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

This was the best Mother's Day I've had!!  Ed took the babes to his sister's in the morning allowing me an hour all to myself to get ready for the day.  My neighbor and I then went and got mani's and pedi's.  What a treat!!  I hadn't gotten one since after Joey was born.  It felt amazing.  Then we went to lunch with our neighbors the Smith's.  After lunch everyone took naps allowing me to curl up in bed and watch whatever I wanted on TV.  No Frozen.  No Thomas the Train.  No ESPN.  We ended the day with our neighbors coming over.  The kids ate, Chris and I drank wine, and Ed and Brian chased the kids around. 

So much going on!!

I feel like so much has been happening the last few weeks, thought I should update the ol' blog. 

We started potty training Joey at the end of March, and he has blown me away with how fast he picked it up.  We started the first week of sitting on the potty every 15 minutes.....it sucked for all of us.  So at the start of week 2 we moved him to every 30 mins on the potty.  We got 2 days into the second week when Joey went 2 whole days without an accident.  He had an accident on the 3rd day, and then accident free for 3 days.  He's only had one night with a wet diaper too.  This kid amazes me every day!!!

We've been having nicer weather lately (FINALLY!!) too so I've been able to spend some quality time with Katelyn at the park while Joey was at therapy.  I found a toddler park that is perfect for her.  She loves playing and checking out all the other kids we see there.  It's a very small park and there is typically at most 3 other kids there with us.  She loves going!

This past week the kids got their belated birthday present, a jungle gym.  They absolutely love it!!  We can't get them off it and they can't wait to go outside to play on it.  Katelyn loves to grab her shoes and coat out of their drawer, bring them to me, and then she will point to the door, "uhh". 

On Saturday we went down to the neighbors to color Easter eggs with Harrison and Copeland.  The kids had a great time and when they were finished all their hands were dyed various shades.

Today, we had my in laws over for brunch and the kids had a little egg hunt in the back yard.
