Sunshiny Day

The sun is finally out!!!!!! It has been raining since Sunday, so we were so grateful for sunshine today! It feels great out too, its 70 degrees, amazing weather! The sun actually came out yesterday late afternoon. So we walked to the library and picked out some new books and a few movies. Of course we got one of Mason's all time favorite books, Green Eggs and Ham. He loves Dr Seuss!

We got quite a few other books too. Mason picked out Curious George 2, Flushed Away, and Horton Hears a Who out for his movies. On our way home we swung by the thrift store. We found a few things. Mason got a Little Peoples dump truck and a Thomas cup. I found a cute little fisher price farm car for Dylan. you push down on the cow and it rolls and plays music. Today I took the boys outside to the playground, since the weather was so nice out. I tried to get a few pictures of Mason for his 4 year old pictures. He was a little grumpy at first as you can see-lol! I eventually got a smile out of him though.
Not so happy here


Finally a smile

I'm going to get you

The pirate ship

Trying to get a picture of the 3 of us, but as you can see Dylan didn't want to cooperate-lol!


Mason found this flower on the ground. He thought it looked like the flower from Horton Hears a Who. So he carried it very carefully upstairs, and of course wanted to watch the movie then-lol!


Well I hope everyone is having beautiful weather like we are, happy Thursday!

Random Pictures

Here are some random pictures from the last few weeks. There of the kids at Buffalo Park, outside playing, and of Mason's birthday the other day. Buffalo Park is a huge area with trails, playgrounds, and they have some animals you can feed too. We took Mason bowling and had pizza on his birthday. He loves going! I cant believe he's 4 years old now! Were having his party this weekend, so I'll have lots of pictures of that. Well, enjoy!

What A Day......

So yesterday was a long day. Dylan woke up in a mood let me tell you-lol! I'm not used to that, because he always wakes up so happy and easy going. So our morning started out rough. Between Dylan screaming and crying and Mason whining every 2 seconds, I managed to finally get breakfast ready. I thought that might have been Dylan's problem, but nope, the fits continued-lol! So I decided why not let them finger paint, we haven't done that in awhile. That did help for a little while. Dylan seemed happy rubbing the paint around on his paper. He tried a taste of it a few times too, thank god its non-toxic-lol! So I got lunch ready a little earlier than usual so I could lay Dylan down earlier for a nap-lol! I was ready for a break! Well that lasted all 20-30 min. I couldn't believe that's all he slept for. He usually takes a 2-2 1/2 hour nap. So the peace and quiet was very short lived at my house-lol! It doesn't help either that it has been raining for the past few days and is going to till this weekend blah.............. I hate rainy days. Mason just goes crazy it seems when we cant get out, but who can blame him. So most of yesterday was spent Mason running around like crazy in circles and Dylan having a fit-lol! Lets just say I was so glad when bedtime came around finally. Although, bedtime didn't go so smoothly either-lol! The day wasn't all awful, we did have a few fun moments, but they just seemed few and far between-lol! It made me think of a quote, "God grant me patience to deal with my blessings"-lol! I sure needed it! Well at least today is going much better! Here are a few pictures from yesterday, enjoy!

Fun Filled Day

Yesterday we had a relaxing, fun day. The kids and I relaxed and played around the house for a little while, before heading over to the px to pick up a few things. After Dylan took a nap, we went outside to the playground. Mason rode his bike, cant tell you how excited I am still he's pushing the petals now! I pushed Dylan in his little buggy car, he loves that thing! Dylan had a big accomplishment to yesterday. He went up the stairs by himself to the slide! He's getting so big! Josh got home that evening and we grilled hamburgers and corn on the cob out on the grill. It was really yummy! The kids had fun playing in the sand while we were waiting on the food to cook. I got a video of the kids in the bathtub that evening. I got Dylan to say bath time, its too cute! He also discovered how to turn the water on and off, he thought that was pretty funny-lol! Enjoy!

So Proud!

Today, I was so proud of Mason! He actually pushed the pedals on his bike!!!!! I mean he has known how to do it, but just wouldn't do it. Today he decided to do it though, and rode around the playground several times!!! Such a huge accomplishment for him today. He was so proud of himself too! I could kick myself for not taking my camera now-lol! Dylan said a new word yesterday too, duck. He can now say momma, dadda, cup, juice, mo (for more-lol!), bye bye, hi, up, uh oh, nana (banana), and he tries to say bath time, its sooo cute-lol! I'll have to get it on camera, its so funny-lol! Josh will be home tomorrow and cant wait!!! Hopefully that will be all for the traveling for awhile. Hope everyone is having a good week so far.

Water Fun!

We had a lot of fun on Saturday. We took the kids to an indoor water park called Mirimar. They had some slides, a big wave pool that they would turn the waves on ever once in awhile, a kiddie pool, and a pool and play area outside. There was another pool inside, but we didn't go get in that one. The kids had a blast playing in the shallower end of the wave pool. I took Dylan down one of the slides a few times too, he loved it! We couldn't get Mason to try one-lol! At one point they played a song and the workers had kids up there doing some dance with them to the song. Dylan was trying to do it too. I got a video of him dancing, but of course it wasn't as much as before,but its still cute! Sunday we just had a relaxing day around the house. We did go get some lunch at Taco Bell and walked around the px for a bit. Then we just hung out and played with the kids. Tomorrow Josh has to leave to go to the shooting range for a few days, hopefully it goes by fast. Well I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
