Then we got to enjoy snuggling up by the fire again, but this time in a huge villa suite at the Four Seasons, celebrating our nine years of marriage. Thanks of course to my parents. It was an amazing "get away".
We relaxed by the fire, dined out on a fancy dinner and even worked out? Yeah, we're trying to stay true to our resolutions!
While we enjoyed our time alone, the boys got to have lots of fun with their grands. They went bowling again and had a blast. The bowling shoes on Brady just kill me.
We've been enjoying the nice weather in spurts as it comes in between 40 or 50 degree days. We make sure to take full advantage.
Its hard to see but the next pictures are of the boys doing the "airplane" after they scored against me in soccer. Every time they scored they ran around the field doing their victory dance. It was priceless.
As much as we had hoped and prayed the surgery was the solution to my pain, it was not. So more tests and appointments for me. Here I am laying on an x-ray table waiting for the barium to get to the right spot. I dig the new running shoes I got from my MIL as one of my x-mas presents.
Here are the boys enjoying a lollipop after one of my blood tests. Their reward for me getting stuck! :)
Like I mentioned in my post yesterday Blake is becoming more and more of a big kid. Its become a Friday tradition to head to McD's by Blake's school (half day on Fridays) with a group of his friends from class. I snapped this picture because it was the first time Blake has ever sat at a table "eating out" alone with his friends. It just seemed like such a grown up thing to do! The girl in the pink jumpsuit sitting next to him, is the girl who told her mom she was going to marry Blake.
We spent some time one day at Barnes & Nobles thanks to some gift cards we got from Aunt Rhonda and Nana! The boys were in heaven. Who knew it was so much fun there?!
We enjoyed an afternoon with Grandma eating lunch and then browsing at the Gap. The boys had fun playing on the elephant (?) outside.
Blake finished up another season, this time indoor, of soccer. Its his absolute PASSION.
Blake also started piano lessons! (no picture). It will be interesting to see how long he will stick with it, but so far so good. He is not only athletic but very musical. His teacher has done a few "tests" with him, because he had a suspicion, and he is pretty certain Blake has perfect pitch. He says if Blake commits to practicing he will be incredible at the piano. Brad's dad could play the piano by ear, so its kind of cool to see the possibility of that "talent" being passed down. And it means a lot to Brad as well since his dad is no longer with us. So, we'll see. He's only four (almost five!) and I hate to push something like that on him. So letting him kind of dictate if we keep going or not. Proud of him either way!
Monday the two bigger B's had off work and school so we headed as a family to the new Perot Museum to check it out. It was a really fun day.
These next few pictures crack.me.up. And show what an awesomely amazing daddy the boys have. In the children's museum part there are different sections, one is set up like a camp ground. There is a log you can crawl through and has a hole on top. There was also a raccoon puppet laying on the floor. Brad crawled in the log, put on the raccoon puppet and put it through the hole and started talking to the boys. Their reactions were priceless. Love it.
And Brady has finally reached THIRTY pounds. Its kind of a big deal. His little legs look chunkier to me too and I could just eat this boy up.
