Day Out with Thomas 2011

Yesterday we met Gran, The Loves, and the Haywards in downtown Grapevine for Day Out with Thomas! We went last year and it was great, and this year Will and Jack's cousins got to join us! We got to ride Thomas the train, run around, play in the bounce house, check out the petting zoo and spend some time with cousins. Will and Jack had lots of fun and both passed out as soon as we got in the car and headed home. It was pretty chilly out there, but the boys didn't seem to mind. I had to wear two coats :)

Happy Friday!!

5 Months

Happy Five Months Jack! We love you so so much. You are the sweetest, happiest baby and always have a big smile on your face.

Jack looks JUST like his daddy, and I love it! Jack discovered his feet a few weeks ago, so that has been fun for him. He loves to ride in the stroller and go on walks. He also LOVES to play with his older brother. They will be bestest buds! Happy 5 Months Jackie Boy!

St. Patrick's Day

We had a very fun St. Patrick's Day! We met some of our favorite friends for a playdate, then went to get green ice cream at Sonic, then came home and played outside till dinner time. We are loving the warm weather!

New Sandbox

We went up to Toys R Us last night and got a new sandbox for the boys. Will loves playing in the sandbox on the church playground, so he was beyond excited to have one in his own backyard! He played in it for at least an hour, he is obsessed.

A Bunch of Pictures

Here are a bunch of pictures from the last week or so.......We have been busy playing at the park, going on walks, and spending lots of time outside!

And, just for my own records....Will's newest trick is counting to twenty, and he can also spell his own name. He also says "Mmm, it's delicious" after eating or drinking something. Jack's newest thing is bouncing in his jumperoo, and his new favorite toy is Sophie the Giraffe. Jack is holding his head up really really well!

Elmo Live

Last Saturday my mom and I took the boys to Elmo Live. Will went last year and loved it, and this year was no different. My mom got Will Elmo binoculars and an Elmo balloon while we were there, he loved it! Jack did really well and watched the entire show, no crying at all! Such a good baby. Can't wait to go back next year!

Ready to go

New binoculars

I tried to take a picture of Jack in the bjorn, somehow my face got in the photo too

Jack's Christening

I am a little late in posting this, but Jack was baptized at our church about two weeks ago. It was such a special day for our family and we were lucky to have lots of our relatives there with us. Both of my grandmothers were there, which meant a lot to me. I love that they get to know my children, and that my children will have special memories with them. A big thanks to my parents and Mike for helping put everything together for the brunch we had after church. I couldn't have done it without their help. Here are some pictures from Jack's special day. He did great during the church service and so did Will. I am so proud of my sweet boys, and I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family.
