A Visit with Bruce and Judy

Bruce and Judy came in town for a long weekend. It was so good to see them. Is is funny how the boys remember them even if it has been months since our last visit.
It was beautiful outside on Thursday so we spent the morning at the park
Evan taking a ride down the slide
Here comes Bruce and Alex
loving the swing
one of these days we will have to get Alex to try the big boy swing
I love this park because it has a HUGE grassy area for the boys to do what they do best.......RUN!!!
still running around.... Alex is looking like such a big boy
Bruce had to climb through the trunk to get to his seat because I didn't move the car seats
Evan reading a book to Uncle Bruce
The boys love when Katie comes over. Every time he hears the doorbell he either thinks it is Katie or Tri haha
Katie and her little buddies
Evan hanging out with Bruce and Judy
Saturday was a rainy day so we met Bruce, Judy and Abby at Dave and Busters for some games and lunch. Alex took Judy on the virtual ride
Alex, Daddy and Bruce driving the cars

Abby will have her own little boy to add to the group in August!!
happy Eban
Bruce and Judy
Katie came over for dinner Saturday night with her friend, George. Alex was not shy at all and wanted to be by them the whole night!
Katie's birthday is on February 24 so we celebrated a little early. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE!!
Alex helped sing "happy birthday" and then wanted to help blow out the candles
Judy and Katie were playing with Evan and making him laugh
We had a great visit with Bruce and Judy! We are looking forward to seeing you soon!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Alex and I made yummy brownies for Valentine's Day
Opening a few presents from Mommy and Daddy! We love our boys so much and think they are the BEST!!

So Cute!!!

I feel like I need a referee's jersey when I am with the boys. They are always taking toys away from one another or doing something that warrants me to intervene but sometimes I catch these sweet moments of them together that I absolutely LOVE!!
Evan adores his big brother and wants to do whatever Alex is doing. He sat down next to him to watch tv. I don't think he could have gotten any closer.
Alex loves to jump around in Evan's crib with him. It is so cute to hear them laughing so hard!!

SNOW DAY at School!!!

Alex had a SNOW DAY at his school. Snow was brought in and put on the parking lot. Some of the kids in his class have never seen snow so this was definitely a new experience for them. This particular day was really cold and windy. I sent Alex with gloves, a hat and a big winter jacket from last season and I'm glad I did because it was COLD!!
playing in the snow

Snow Day for the class was a huge success.....the kids loved it!!
