Belton RR train ride

We took the boys to Belton for a ice cream train ride. It was 45 min. trip on a old 1960 diesel train. It was hot, but the breeze kept us cool!

Blue berry Patch

Took the kids to the Blue Berry Patch this year, our annual trip! This is the first year that Justin didn't go cuz he was working:(, so my dad tagged along. The weather has been a sweltering 100+ for the passed month, but we happened to luck out with a day that was a high of 96! Since the weather has been so hot, the Patch hasn't had many vistors, so we had a lot of berries to pick!

Louisburg pool

I took the boys to the louisburg to switch up the pool scene. We met up with our friends Ashley, Gavin and Maddie. They love the diving boards and the big slides. David and Jake have done great this summer with swimming!

Big boy bed

I put Patrick in his big boy bed 2 nights. He loves his bed and couldn't wait to sleep in it after we set it up. I though transitioning in the summer might be the best. So far he has done the best out of all the boys!

Happy 4th of July!!!

We spent the day at the Herman's pool. Once it got dark we packed up to go see firework!

I had an ultrasound at 13 weeks, to screen for trisomy 21 and 18. So far everything looks good and healthy. We couldn't tell the gender yet as it is too early to tell. I am counting down the weeks until my next scan in 6 weeks!

Happy 7th Birthday David!

David had is B-day party at Debbie Howard's gym. He invited 12 of his friends to join in on his celebration. I asked him what he wanted for his cake this year. He said he wanted a cookie cake, like the one Oma gives him. Well, I decided to spruce it up a little and throw him a surprise Mario party! I made the toad pops, mustaches and Candy Wii remotes. I used jelly beans for Yoshi's eggs and fire balls for the Flower power. My step mom made the star cookies which turned out great. Then I ordered him a cookie cake to look like a race track and added Mario Kart charaters and a finish line. I set up the party room while the kids played. David was so shocked and amazed at the surprise party that I threw! I'm glad he was surprised! Happy birthday to my sweet, loving, law abiding, inquistive little boy!
