Beach fun

We took Auntie Jen to a local beach while she was here. Its great that it is so close! We took Daddy recently and he said it was to animal populated :) Not a lot of people-so the wildlife stays pretty close to you! Good and bad for a family with a little one!

Gymboree Fun!

We've been going to Gymboree off and on since William was a baby! Nana, Grampa and Daddy came to watch-so I finally got some pics! William wants the camera if I try and do it. This week he was really into it as we "made and baked cookies" His current level is all about imagination. He'll probably move up to level 6 soon!

Cuteness!

Randomness

Daredevil....toy chair on futon. He thought he was something too!

Snuggles with Nana and Grampa. Didn't get to many pics, so here's 1 :)



Mommy's 30th Birthday cake :)

Kitchen project

SO years back we had a leak near the oven. We got the builder to fix it and thought we had fixed the problem......WRONG! We have slowly smelt something in that cabinet area and finally decided it (thinking mold) had to go! So Mark and Grampa-with a little help from me, ripped out the old cabinets and put new ones in! It ended up being a bigger fiasco then originally thought-as we couldn't find matching cabinets! We ended up buying off the shelf unfinished cabinets and finished them. Still have a few small things to do, but overall much better!! We now think we may have to do it to the other side, as we think we smell that DREADED smell again. UGHHH :(

Mold on the cabinets and on the drywall....much less then we anticipated! Still BAD enough!



The BIG humor of the weekend.....Mommy shoved into Williams car seat as there was no room for me AND the cabinets :) I survived and frankly volunteered to forgo taking the seat out-a much bigger pain!


William helping Grampa dismantle the yucky cabinets for the trash men....still didn't take them...so off to the dump we ended up going! William had a blast! He is very big into helping and playing with tools!





Thanks for helping out Grampa!

New room!

The sunroom is done and all complete. I may eventually get to uploading the pics of the room with Williams stuff in it :)

Sesame Street Preview!

We have season passes to Busch Gardens, so we get updates and previews every so often. B.G just got done with their kiddie land. AKA Sesame Street Land! It is AWESOME! They outdid themselves. It is a perfect tot land and SO much to do! We got a letter telling us about a preview of Sesame Street before the park opened (in the morning) end of April/beg. of May. SO we got up early and headed over. It was great to have the place somewhat to ourselves in the am. As the morning went on it got very busy-it was a Saturday after all! Once it started getting busy we knew it was time to go. William had a blast on the rides and got to experience some rides for the 1st time. Our boy is certainly growing up! We are looking forward to going back. As it gets hotter we may just end up going for the awesome water activities!


Let the rides begin!





Breakfast with Elmo! William LOVED seeing the characters but not close :) Although he did much better with Bird Bird and Elmo.




He was in awe of how big Big Bird really was! He wasn't use to this big tall bird!





Now this is really our only complaint. The theater set up for toddlers is horrible! When the place is packed, it's VERY hard to see the stage!



On the safari train..

Checking out the rest of Busch Gardens



We had a nice family day!
