Cannonsburg Village 5/30/10

When we woke up on Sunday morning we decided we needed to find something to do with the boys so that we would not end up spending our day inside again. So we told Austin we would take him to see the Choo-Choo's (he loves trains right now). Well we planed on taking him to what we thought was a little train depot here in town, but once we got there we found a big sign that read "Authorized Vehicles ONLY" we soon realized we were not suppose to be there. But we did get very lucky and as we were leaving a Choo-Choo came (a super long one at that). So we rolled the windows down and made a really big deal about it for Austin. Of, course he didn't know the difference and was just as happy.

Next we went to Cannonsburg Village (a little town set up with old buildings) to walk around. They have an old train car there, so Austin loved that.

Daddy and Austin on the Choo-Choo!

Austin looks so small beside this train car.


They also have a shed full of old tractors and farming equipment


And of course Austin had to make sure he ran all around the village.

Breakfast of Champions

What happens when you let a 2 1/2 year old pick out there own breakfast? You end up with a "well balanced meal" of course. That's just what Austin had this morning, a little bit of everything (aka:balanced). He wanted blueberries "berries", Cheeze-its "cheese-cheese" and popcorn "pop-pop" along with OJ. Normally I pick his breakfast for him or give him a few things to choose from, but usually once a week he gets to choose. I figure as long as he eats something what can it hurt?...

Notice the left over chocolate on the side of his mouth, that's from his morning m&M's (we have started using m&M's as a reward system with him-that's a whole other post).

He seems so happy, so I must have done something right this morning.

And of course I had to include a photo of Hudson. He was such a good boy and slept all night again last night (from 9:15pm-7:45am, that makes for 3 all nighters this week!!!!!

Husband 1.0

I just came across the below note here. I thought it was too cute not to share.

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable programs such as NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and Housecleaning simply crashes the system.

Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,

Desperate

Dear Desperate:

First, keep in mind that Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3 Update.

If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1.

Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources!)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program.

These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck!

Tummy Time

At Hudson's 2 month check up his Dr. suggested that we give Hudson 5 mins of tummy time for every hour he is awake during the day. Are you kidding me? I do good to get him on his tummy for 5 mins total a day. He does really well though with holding his head up when we are holding him or he is sitting up against something.

A normal day around the house

This is how a typical day around our house looks.

Austin has to test out his baby "Bo-Bo's" toys to make sure they are safe to play with. Here he is testing out the bumbo chair and the play mat at the same time.

Here are both boys playing with the play mat.

Mothers Day

This was my first mothers day as a Mother of two and it was amazing. It was more like a Mothers Weekend for me. Brad started by arranging for his parents to watch the boys on Friday night so we could have dinner at Bonefish Grill (which I love)! While his parents were watching the boys they were suppose to work on my mothers day gift from the boys. Which I have to give Brad mad kudos for....He got kits for the boys to make 3-d hand prints for me. However Austin was not too excited about doing them so we still have to tackle making them. But I thought that was an amazing idea for Brad to come up with. Sunday we started the day by meeting Brad's parents at Mimi's for brunch (Brad and Mark (my FIL) even thought ahead and made reservations!). After brunch we went over to Brad's parents house for a nice relaxing afternoon. We also took some family photos while we were there. After almost 3 months we did not have a family photo of all 4 of us, until that day. Brad also gave me some cash to decorate the house some. I will be posting photos of the deco updates later.

2 Months old

I am way behind on blog postings so I am going to try and to catch up to some extent. Below are some photos taken of Hudson on his 2 month birthday. He is such a good baby! He is always happy unless he is hungry, tired or needs a diaper change. He usually gets up in the morning to eat around 6 or 7am then naps most of the morning (waking up to eat around 9ish then sleeping till around 12ish). He goes to bed around 9 pm each night and only wakes up once to eat during the night.

He loves watching his brother and loves to smile! He has started talking more (well making noises that I say are him talking). He loves to lay on his play mats and looks at his little friends that hang down. He has started really grabbing hold of them too!
