Swim Austin Swim!!!!

We FINALLY got to do swim lessons this year! Should of done lessons last year, but we had the ruptured ear drum so the water was out of the question until this year. March's session was only 3 lessons, but he did great. He was a little scared about getting his ears wet because of the BAD history with them and getting his tubes, but finally by the last lesson he relaxed a bit and realized it is ok to get your ears wet. He had fun and Cody LOVED watching him (actually he wanted to jump in and join him); more lessons to follow soon hopefully!!! Yay Bubba!!!!

Cruising across the pool with his instructor!!!

I did it!!!

Great Job Bubba!!!

Happy Birthday To Me!!!!

32, Really? Already? Where has the time gone? What more could I ask for at 32 though; an AMAZING husband, 2 AMAZING little boys, an AMAZING family, and AMAZING friends!!!! I've done alright in my 32 years I have to say. Had a great day with my boys. Daddy & Austin worked very hard in the kitchen this morning at making me Todd's World Famous Salsa & breakfast burritos and I got to finish it off with my favorite iced sugar cookie with a candle and a very cute card. Plus my little man Cody sang Happy Birthday to me when I went in to get him out of his crib this morning (loved it)... That afternoon while the boys were napping I was pampered with a pedicure and then I was surprised by the hubby with babysitting all taken care of for the evening and a yummy dinner at Joel's; childless!!! (the boys and I get to have a birthday lunch at Red Robin a few days later) Another nice birthday spent with my boys!!! I LOVE you guys!!!

Happy 32nd Birthday to me!!! Thanks honey for a wonderful day....

Headed to dinner at Joel's!!!!

ThE dIsCoVeRy PlAcE.........

Today was a BEAUTIFUL day, so we decided to head down to Charlotte and finally check out Discovery Place!!! It's a great place to get your hands on EVERYTHING!!!! We were there for 6 hours just checking out as much as we could. We watched an amazing IMAX movie about underwater life, a 3-D movie on Sea Turtles, and a 3-D movie on Dinosaurs (and the kids sat thru all three too).... There was so much to play with and it was perfect for the kids (and adults too for that matter) because you could touch everything. You could build with blocks, draw with sand, make your own race cars and race them on a track, play in the BIGGEST water table ever, make music with pots and pans, take thermal pictures of your self, shoot rockets, do fun science projects, look at germs under a microscope, play with the LARGEST lite-brights known to man, and lots and lots more.... What a blast all FOUR of us had today. Gotta visit again soon with the Aquarium and Rain Forest displays are ready....
