Birthday Boy!

We finally got Tim back this weekend and it's so nice! We missed him tons! A month is a long time with out a Daddy. We have been having a ton of fun since he got home. Washing the car~

We went to the train dept with my parents. Brock wanted to show my parents the train. He loves it! Here at the rocks. Me and my 38 week belly!



Brock's birthday was the 4th of July! We had so much fun opening presents with my parents. Here the boys are with the sparklers-
His favorite presents- Woody and Buzz! He loves these guys. It's cute to see his play. He kept making them kiss though... LOL Don't know where he picked that up!
He kept telling Tim, open it quickly!

Almost burned his lips off trying to blow out the candles~
He was so excited about his cake and presents. I had his cake in the fridge because it was so hot in the house and he kept opening the fridge to check on it, show it to Me-mah or Papa. It was cute.

I can't believe Brock is 3 years old now! I have to say that I think the saying Terrible Two's is a farce. Brock was a perfectly pleasant 2 year old. 3? I am not sure what this year will bring. Independence for sure. Brock wants to do everything by himself! Here are a few other things about Brock at this age-

- He loves Trains still. Plays with them every single day for hours. Although Woody and Buzz have encroached on that time lately.

- He is very social. He loves to play with any kids anywhere.

-He is quite talkative. He says the funniest things "Delicious!" "I need you me" "Love you bye bye" "I lost my daddy" and "my tummy hurts" - only when he wants food.

- He loves to help out. He cleans up his toys really well and loves to help sort laundry.

- He loves to sing. He now sings songs to me when he goes to sleep instead of me singing to him.

This is just a small sample, he is so silly! I love this little boy, he certainly keeps life interesting!

She Does it Again!!!

Two times in one month?!?! That's gotta be a record of some sort!

Anywho-- summer seems to have finally set in and we are loving in! I am so glad I we got a house with a back yard, because we spend a good deal of the day and night just out there playing. I got Brock a water gun at the used store and he has had a blast chasing Tim around the yard with it.

Brock's crazy sleeping continues on. He some how manages to build this train track in the dark on his bed. Then curled up right inside it and passed out. It's pretty cute.
This last Sat it was in the 80's!!! LOVING IT!! We had the Harris family over for a BBQ and let the kids run through the sprinklers. Brock loved it. Haylie was a little timid, testing out the water, but both kids ended playing in it for about an hour! It was great!



Here is my mother's Day gift. A bike trailer. We are having so much fun with this! We have been using it 2x a day. Brock and I go in the morning, then we all go in the evening. It is the perfect workout for a pregnant lady too (31 weeks pregnant mind you, 9 more weeks to go!!!) It is low impact, yet gets my heart rate up so I actually feel like I get a work out. I only wish I would have bought one sooner. Doesn't Brock look cute in his helmut!
And we went to Clarie's school carnival. Brock had a blast.

Sorry dad, I ate all the cotton candy. :(


Riding the train. Of course this was popular with Brock!
They even had a pony ride. I though Brock would be all over this, but as soon as the pony sniffed his leg, he was D O N E done! He did not want anything to do with those ponies!

Just Pictures, mostly

I have been the worlds worst blogger lately. Here is what we have been up to~

Bowling. Brock loved this. He did really well and it is something we will be doing again some time!

Sleeping. Brock is such a weirdo. Here are some crazy positions we have found him in lately.



And for the short while we had nice weather, we took advantage of it by gardening and tidying up the yard. And by we, I mean Tim. Brock tried to help.

Tee Ball! We got Brock a tee ball set and he loves it. He is getting really good at swinging and hitting the ball.

Easter pics~

And that's about it. Nothing to exciting right?

Here You Go Mom~

As per the request of Grandma-not the first one either- I am getting some blogging done. I have just been busy with the pregnancy { yes we are pregnant, shocking! 22 Weeks along little girl} and I just haven't had too much to say. It has been really nice weather here lately and I have been taking full advantage of it. Brock loves being outside. Everyday after naps I throw him in the backyard and he is content to play for about 2 hours till Tim comes home. It's so nice to have a house that stays clean in the afternoon! Well Wens was St Patrick's day. We had a fun time. One of our friends, Mandi Harris, threw a little party for the kids. It was a blast. Brock had a fabulous time! Here is a little of what we did~

Played with green playdough

Ate green food, I think Brock is turning into a leprechaun!
Decorated Green Balloons
Then we "flew" the balloons like kites. What a great idea! Mandi just made a mock kit by twisting a bunch of kite string around some clothes pins. Brock loved this. He just ran around their front yard with his balloon. In Heaven!


Nope, no time to stop for a picture mom!
Then that afternoon Brock and I were outside for like 2 hours. It was glorious. We had to show off our super cool shades.
And today Brock is showing you the cool way to eat a fruit pop. On a trike with shades.
Smile!
