Mother's Day

Paul and the kiddos took me to Bellevue Square for some good shopping and even better food. We were on the sky bridge and Austin was super excited to be on the bridge and have the cars go underneath.

We then at at PF Changs, one of my favorite places to eat. Yummy!!!

Me and my sweet husband who made this day possible and my role in life. Thanks for the greatest gift of all, making me a mother to our children.

Me and the cheese - that kid has a lot of hair!

Silly Austin

After dinner we found an arcade. Austin loved riding in a Ferrari!

He also tried his hand a ski ball

and lastly the boys went on he motor cycle

What a perfect Mother's Day! I am so blessed to be a part of this family. I love my kids so much and I am honored to be their mother.

I sure do love my boys!

Bounce House Birthday Party

Friday night we went to a birthday party for my neighbors little girl Hailey who turned 4. It was at Jumping Jack and Jills in Sumner. Austin has so much fun going down all of the slides and jumping like a crazy person.

I love the look on his face :-)



Andrew had a lot of fun too. He also reached a milestone while we were there, he took his first step (singular)...gotta start somewhere right?

Andrew clapping for himself, he is too cute!

The weather was perfect, how could I not take the boys to the park. We need to take advantage of this weather while it lasts!

 Andrew taking Austin for a ride

 This kid loves the park and sure does love his big slides!

 He is a climber!

 Here he goes, stretching those legs of his

 Almost there!

 Working hard

 Almost....

 Shouting Hooray when he reached the top! He was so excited!

 On our way home with my super cool boys.

I truly do love these nice days when we can be outside enjoying different parks every day. The boys sure do love it too!

Here fishy, fishy, fishy

Austin is ready and excited for his first swim place with mommy. My boy is decked out in his Thomas the Train swimsuit, so cute!

In front of Rogers High School where Austin is taking his lessons

We were excited for Austin's buddy Ethan and his mommy Ann to join us in the class. The kids got to swim in a smaller, warmer therapy pool.

Our class. The kids had to pick up colored rings off of the steps, each getting progressivly lowere - this was to help them get used to putting their face in the water.

As you can see Austin and I had a blast, he was a very happy camper.

All done! Can't wait for Thursday to do it again!

So I realized 2 things while going to this class.

1. I will probably embarass my child when he goes to school with the amount of pictures I will make him take

2. My baby is growing up. There is nothing I can do to stop it. So we are enjoying each day as it comes and having a blast at the same time.

Austin - mommy is so proud of you. You were so brave and did such a good job on your first day!

The boys' best friends

Gideon and Elliott love hanging out with our kids and our kids love playing with them
