Nice Morning:)

We spent our morning at Brown park.  We fed the ducks, walked some paths, and played on the playground.  Overall a very good way to start the day. 

Ava took notes in her journal.

He planned on eating that cracker himself but it tragically fell to the ducks.

Stopping for a rest

Crazy happy Alex and Ava.

Alex Is 3!

Our big boy turned three yesterday!  We had some family over to celebrate.  Hot Dogs, hamburgers, veggies and fruit turned out to be a big hit.  Mimi made his awesome train cake, a big thank you is well deserved!  Alex loved opening up his gifts and having his family sing to him.  It was a very special day.  I can't believe Alex is three.

Alex's favorite foods: fruit, pizza, hot dogs, cheese roll ups, cheese puffs, and dora gummies

Favorite shows: Bubble guppies, team umizoomi, calliou, and of course Thomas!

Favorite color: usually pink, but will change his mind occasionally

Alex loves playing construction and trains.  His best friend is Ava, sometimes they argue but he is lost without her.  Alex is still working on potty training and giving up his pacifier.  (Some days I care and others I offer it to him when he is upset so I'm probably not helping the situation.)  Mostly it does not bother me that he still has his passy.

Daddy and Alex love mowing the yard together, and playing trains.  Bert told me over the phone this morning "I can't wait to get home and play trains with Alex he has so many new tracks we can build."  My husband is excellent at playing with Ava and Alex when he gets home from work, he has just as much fun as they do!  Happy Birthday again to our handsome little man!  We love you Alex!!

Some more pictures I took of him at Anchorage.

A few from Alex's party (my favorite is the photo train birth-3, I enjoyed remembering those photos!)

Thomas the Train Day

What a great day!  We visited the Kentucky Railway Museum for a day out with Thomas.  Alex and Ava loved it.  Mimi and Grandaddy went with us to experience the fun and excitement.  Alex has already requested to go back, but I think one trip to New Haven was enough for us:) We love taking our kiddos to these types of things, it's so much fun to see the joy on their faces.

So much fun was had this past weekend at Churchill downs to celebrate Father Ralph, Lakeside, and the Science Museum.  We are so blessed to have such great family.  We can't wait to see what the next few weeks have in store for us.  We are praying for some good news:)  As always enjoy the pictures.

Ava enjoyed the track immensely especially with her Mimi:)

Ava was grateful Grandaddy took her down to the paddock, but really wanted to ride the horses not just watch.

Having fun with Sister Anthony.

Teaching Sister Anthony how to play games on the phone.

Lakeside!

No one enjoys museums and pools more than my husband he really gets into it.

It's Time To Get Wet

The temp is in the upper 80's and looks like this week we will be in the 90's.  So this means it's time to get out the swimsuits and hit up the splash parks!  We went to the Zoo's splash park on Saturday and Bert and I promised each other we would never make that mistake again (WAY TOO CROWDED.)  Today my sister and her family came over with their big waterslide!  My kids played pretty much all day outside in the water.  We have been watching my parent's dogs all weekend and with all do respect we are ready for them to come home on Tuesday:)  Enjoy the pictures.

Busy May

May is a busy month, of course we have Oaks and Derby, and following these big events is a series of birthdays!  Sweet Gussy turned four, My sister turned 31 (which means I turn 30 this December:/!)  My dad turned 61, and my sister in law celebrates hers at the end of the month.  In between we celebrated Mother's Day, and have enjoyed lots of showers for people we love!  Here are some pictures of a busy beautiful May.
