Get a life!

You know you need to get a life when you're just as excited as a 3 year old for the week of new Wow Wow Wubbzy shows! Somebody needs a hobby!

A day at the lake

Since it was so hot today--in the 90s!--we decided to go to the lake. Everyone had such a great time! Lochy is my little water baby and we couldn't get him out even though it was freezing! My feet and legs ached just standing in there with him and he didn't even seem to notice how cold it was. He did the same thing yesterday when we set up the little pool. Liam wants no parts of cold water and only dipped his toes in but Lochy was having a grand time!

They got to play in the sand a lot too which is always a big hit with them. Of course we had to bring some of our trains along with our sand toys. We have a few that are in not the greatest shape from being played with in the dirt, mud, water, sand, etc. You name it those trains have been through it!

There's a couple playgrounds there too that they had a great time playing on. Unfortunately there was no shade at the playground areas so everything was pretty hot. When are people going to learn to plant some trees or something around play equipment so these little guys don't burn their hands and legs playing?

After a few hours they were ready to come home though. They were so tired, especially since they didn't have a nap but they didn't sleep on the way home at all! Needless to say it was an early night for them!

And when we first got home. They're vegging out to "Lady and the Tramp."

Great Weather and Loch is 20 months old today!

We had such great weather over the weekend and we spent a ton of time outside! We dusted off all the yard toys and got sand for their sandbox and the boys had a blast! I've never seen two kids that enjoy the sand as much as them. They played for hours! Hopefully this weekend will be just as nice, I'm over all this rain.

And bigger news is that today my Lochy is 20 months old!!!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone. It seems like just yesterday he was my tiny little baby and now he's on his way to being 2 years old!

He is doing so great. He's still my little skinny guy--about 22 pounds now but he eats like crazy! He still nurses about twice a day, mostly in the wee hours of the morning. That's his snuggle/comfort time and when he most wants to be close. He is talking up a storm and has a lot of sentences. I can't get over how much more he talks at this age than Liam did! He is starting to know his colors and his favorites are blue and yellow. He'll climb on just about anything, this kid has zero sense of caution. He loves the playground and goes on all the equipment himself and the big slides too! He loves to sing and play games but mostly the Thomas trains are still a big hit. They both recently got the Finding Nemo movie and it has been a huge hit! They love the fish and Liam knows most of the dialogue now. It cracks me up to hear Lochy sing the songs and both of them doing their "whale speak."

We're getting back into the groove since Easter and spending a couple days with Grammy and Pop. The lack of sleep and extra sugar really threw them off but they're getting much better now. The Easter bunny was very good to the boys and they each got a Wubbzy DVD, a Thomas t-shirt, a pair of shorts, sidewalk chalk, coloring book, and plastic eggs with some jelly beans inside.

Here's some pics from the other day:










Saying "Hi Mommy!"






And of of Liam at Grammy and Pop's house--he absolutely LOVES babies! Can ya tell? LOL
