So exciting!

We went to the Worlds Largest Brat Fest in Madison yesterday.  Craig has been wanting to go since we happened to find out about it last year.  Well... I was SOOOOO excited to find out the Weinermobile would be there. I have always wanted to see it up close. I have seen it on the highway a few times but never up close.  So we all got our picture taken with the Weinermobile! We had a great time at Bratfest, it is awesome.  It is clean, organized and the best carnival we have ever seen. Hopefully they break the world record this year :-)

Madison Zoo

We decided to go to the zoo this morning, we had a great time. 

 Craig didn't want his picture taken, but I think this is a great picture!!!!

 Look at my big chicken

 He cried for half of the ride and liked half of it... so who know what he really thought :-)

Batman in the house!

It has been a busy couple weeks in our house.  Here is a picture of my thumbsucker!!! Isn't he cute???

 I don't have any pictures from mothers day, is that really a surprise?  But I did have a nice day.  I got a hanging plant, a stuffed lion and Connor's birth stone added to my mothers ring.  Craig's birthday is May 14 so it fell right after mothers day this year.  All 3 of them got a present....

 Craig and Grace LOVE to watch old school batman together, so she wanted to get him batman pants, so I got the kids a shirt to match him. 

 I took the kids to the Nicholas Conservatory the other day, it was a free day.  They both loved it! Oh Elmo did too!

 They both loved the fish.  I couldn't hold Connor and take a picure of him looking at them!!!

 Someone decided he liked Grace's Elmo...

 Last day of preschool! :-(

 Here are my 2 babies.  Connor is 4 months old now and growing very quickly

 It has been so hot, we decided to get the baby pool out.

 He is happy....for now

 Someone does not like the cold water! LOL

Oh and the scratches on his face are from him.  He claws himself when trying to suck his thumb.  I try to keep his nails trimmed, but they sneak up on me. 

Bath Time

Bath time in our house is a crazy time.  Connor and Grace get baths at the same time, so I am normally giving one a bath then running to the other. Don't ask what Craig is doing(watching TV).  So I haven't been able to get pics of Connor.  I finally decided to try.  He loves bath time

 We have a fishy to play with

 SQUIRT!!!!!!!

Ok... that wasn't too bad!!

Busy week

We tried to have a garage sale last weekend, it wasn't all that successful.  Friday went ok but Saturday was way too cold.  Here we are trying to stay warm. 

 Connor LOVES to sit up.  He has to see the action or else he cries.  He loves the bumbo, but can't sit in it for long periods of time yet.  We sit in it as much as possible :-)

 The pedi said no food until 4 months... but we are close enough.  I gave him some May 2nd. He will be 4 months on the 16th.  He loves his nummies.  Can you tell??? Oh and the scratch on his forehead is from him... he is sucking his thumb and keeps doing that....

 Craig snapped this pic of Grace.  I forget what she was even yelling at him about. But that is SOOOO Grace.  She is MAD.  I get that face a million times a day.

 More nummies

 Hmmm I like my nummies!!!

 Grace loves playing with Daddy.  They played some baseball last night, she actually hit the ball a few times which lead to much excitement!

 We also had to practice for soccer!

Not too much to report

We haven't had too much going on.  My dad spent a few days in the hospital so that put quite a spin on our lives.  Sorry I didn't update.  Here are a couple pictures of Connor and my dad.  He has not felt well at all.  We hardly have any picture of him and Connor, we are pushing for them since we never know how long we have with my dad. 

 Grace started soccer, she LOVES it.  Here she is with Kaelyn, her best friend. 

 Grace is pretty good, thanks to Cal and Hannah.  They have taught her some of the basics. She can't wait to play on the "big" team. 

Connor is growing like a weed.  He is 3 months old, but wearing 6 month clothes. He laughs, coos and makes TONS of crazy noises.  He loves his mommy.  He is sleeping through the night and has been for a while now.  I can't believe how lucky I got with him.  His heart issues are ok.  He has had some break throughs... we see the cardiologist thursday.  He is totally a thumb sucker.   Grace is crazy like always.  She is doing great in school. She has been doing great in swimming as well. She is almost ready for the next level. I am going to try to get pictures soon. I am hoping with my new camera I can get some half way ok pics of her in the pool.
