It's a zoo around here....

Mark took the boys to the children's museum this morning.  They packed a lunch and had a picnic while they were there.  At the museum there are face painting stations/tables on the different floors.  The last two times they have gone they've wanted to have their faces painted like lions.  I think Mark did pretty good.

ROAR!!!!

Sneak a peek of Wyatt

Here is a picture of Wyatt in 4D... Crazy!!!  The first picture you can see his little hands and a foot by his face.

He looks like my other two boys... not that I am surprised but it is crazy that you can already see it.  He has the same nose mouth and little tucked in bottom lip and chin.

Cute!!!

So today I am 31 weeks and 2 days.  I am hoping Wyatt will come at 38 weeks like the other boys which means only about 7 weeks left (cross your fingers).

Cael turned 4!!!!

 It is crazy to think that my first baby boy is already 4 years old!!!

Cael had so much fun the last couple of days...and why wouldn't he because it was all about him. :)

 Friday on his birthday we had a little family party with cheeseburgers and a Spider-Man cake.

 Emmett loves his big brother so of course he wanted to give him a present.

 Cael was excited about every present... especially the Rescue Bot from Granny and Grandpa and his Ben 10 guys from Beesha and Dziedze.

We went to the park Saturday morning so the boys could play with the new T-Ball set.  They both actually did fairly well for their first time.

 Saturday afternoon we had a party with all his friends.  We all had a BLAST!!!

I am so greatful for everyone who was able to come to the party.

 We had Ben 10 cupcakes but most of the presents were Spider-Man... Cael might turn into a Spider-Man!

 Cael was so sweet to all his friends, giving them hugs to thank them for the presents. 

 We had a great turnout so it was AWESOME! - friends from church and friends from daycare.

 So above you see Emmett with 'punching' bags... this is why Cael calls the Ager Playcenter, 'the punching place.'  He loves to get in there and punch and kick.

He also likes to hang upside down from the monkey bars.

Cael was spoiled for sure.  He made out like a bandit.  Mark and I need to put some toys away so we can declutter and not over-stimulate the children. :)

We wish you all could've been here.

Love you!

Memorial Weekend Festivities

I know I am a week late but I figure better late than never.:)

Last weekend was great... I did not want to go back to work on Tuesday.

We went to the Salt Dogs baseball game.....

 We also went to to the park and zoo but I forgot the camera. :(  We had lots of fun though.

Emmett is hilarious - he wants to pick up sticks and garbage at the park OR play in the sand if they have a sandbox.  Cael on the other hand is running around crazy, making friends with other kids.  So cute both of them.

On Monday we went to a friend's home for a cookout and play out in their kiddy-pool.  It was great for Cael and Emmett to see their friends Logan and Addison from school.

We wish we could have been able to hang out with our families on the east coast but sometimes you just have to make do. :)

We love you!

Emmett turned 2 years old

For dinner we at at Applebees where Emmett had his normal chicken.  We did tell our waitress it was his birthday so them came over clapping which he loved.  And who doesn't love a brownie??

 Of course Emmett was spoiled as usual.  We had his birthday party at the Children's Zoo but opened the presents at home...

A fancy cowboy hat for the buckaroo

Some fun tiger paws... roar!

 A horse that whinnies and makes galloping noises

 Rescue-bots!  All right!

 Thanks to all our friends who were able to come to the party!

We had fun riding the train, seeing, all the animals, and of course cupcakes and ice cream!

 Emmett as well as the other boys love to feed the goats and llamas.

Mark took Emmett for his 2 year check-up.  Here are the stats:

98 percentile for head - 20 1/4 inches

80 percentile for height - 36 inches

95 percentile for weight - 30.6 pounds

He is a growing boy!

April Family Update

 Mark made yummy dinner tonight.  He cooked some corn and barbecue chicken on the grill.  Smack your granny good! :)  The boys devoured the corn.

 So I am HUGE.  I am 21 weeks today and this is how I look.  I guess with the 3rd your body gives more?! - that is my excuse.

 The boys are quite cute about my belly and excited for their baby BROTHER.  That's right!  Another boy.  We will name him Wyatt Talmage so we call him Baby Wyatt.

Emmett likes to blow raspberries on my belly. :)



 Cael has a Lightning McQueen backpack he takes to school each day with this stuffed animal and change of clothes.  Emmett also wanted a backpack so I got him one.  Check him out! :)

 A couple of weeks ago we went to a hockey game to see the Lincoln Stars.  Cael got one of the game pucks tossed over to him while the teams were warming up.

 It was Emmett's first hockey game and he loved it.  He loves music so he was in heaven with all the songs played.

One night I could not get Emmett to eat his broccoli but he ate it for Cael.  RIDICULOUS but cute at the same time.

Thank you Dziedze for our Redwings jerseys!  We'll grow into them.

Cael cannot just stand up straight and say cheese.  He is so darn cute. 

Emmett fell in the Home Depot parking lot a few weeks ago.  Man!  Gravel mark and all. 

As some of you may have read Mark's last day of work will be 5/4/12 and then he will start staying home with the boys.  This gives Mark and the boys some time to adjust before the baby comes.  Mark and the boys are very excited!  We've bought a bin and started to fill it with all sorts of fun things to do.  We will also buy the membership for the children's zoo and museum and town.

We love you all!



Happy Easter

Check out my cute boys. They are growing up so fast.

I am sorry it has been so long since my last post.

So what's new???

We put our house on the market this last Monday. We need more space and just want to get out of this house. It has been great but it is time to move on.

I find out what I am having on 4/18. I am so excited!!!

The boys' daycare is closed today so I am staying home with them. We are having fun. :) I think we will go to the park in a few minutes. They need to run off some energy.

I love the 2nd trimester as I really do have more energy and have felt more like myself. I try to do as much as I can around the house because I am fearful that the 3rd will mean exhaustion.

I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend!

We love you all!
