A Taste of Real Ice Cream

I have always been a stickler on the kids treats and desserts, I get made fun of pretty often because I call a graham cracker and goldfish treats. I'm trying to be a little more lenient and it usually happens when we are around Sean so the kids got to have a major dessert this past weekend.Let me just add the kids have had ice cream just sugar free. We took them to this new deli place that is known for having amazing ice cream, we let them try the two most popular kinds before purchasing. I didn't know how Chance would like it since he is the spitting image of me and would rather have apples than chips. But as you can tell from the pictures they both very much enjoyed it! We might start doing regular ice cream once a week! Chance had cotton candy and K had birthday cake... that one was my favorite!

I wish I could zoom in on the picture, he has the biggest smile

The other day while we were shopping for Sean's birthday we saw this mini train, Chance deseparetly wanted to ride it but we couldn't because Kinley was too afraid. I felt so bad for him, all he wanted to do was say hi to the train but K was not having it so we had to wait for another day. We got to go back and he was loving every minute of it! Sean said during the ride he was chugging his arms saying choo-choo! After he was done he said "bye bye train" like a big boy with no fits!

Posing

Traveling a little lighter!

We use the B.O.B. daily and it tends to be a pain, there are plenty of stores I have to move things around or just can't go in. Breaking it down is kind of a pain because it always hit my shins and takes up alot of room in the car. But I love how easy it is to manoeuvre around and it's awesome to run with, it doesn't feel like I'm pushing 50 lbs around! Sunday night Tammy and my dad called and asked if we want to have their phil and ted, I'm so excited! Getting around is going to be so much easier! It doesn't take up as much room in my car and is a tandem. I was always concered for the child who had to seat in the lower seat, thinking they will get bored because they can't see anything, but Tammy said she never had an issue with it. So we will be strolling a little lighter and thinner!

Thomas and Swim lessons

There hasn't been much to update about lately til this week so I'm excited to add some new pictures. Chance has become totally obsessed with Thomas the train, anytime we leave the house he gathers as many trains as he can to come for the ride, he has to sleep with atleast two and probably could watch Thomas all day. I found a thomas tooth brush and pj's and now he loves to get ready for bed!


Kinley was also excited about her new princess tooth brush


Our first week of swim lessons!

This week we started swim lessons and I'm loving it! We go from 11-11:30 and then have a picnic and then a very long nap! I have always had a struggle with the kids napping because K would wake up 45 minutes later wanting me to cuddle with her and then she would wake up Chance, so I never really got much down time... but right now they are going on 2 hours!!! Chance is doing awesome learning he is listening and picking it up pretty quick, Kinley on the other hand screams for mommy the whole time. But I know she will enjoy more after a few times! I'm so proud of the both of them!

DeBary's Tea and Mother's day

Heather had bought me and our mom tickets for tea at the debary hall. Heather was teaching etiquette on how to use fans from the victorian era, as you can tell in the picture she was dressed as the part.

I was looking for more pictures of Chance but he was going through a phase of never leaving mommy's arms so thats why there is only a couple.

Baby, Kinley and Grandma

We got home just in time for the Kentucky Derby... K was ready!

On the mother's day, Heather, Grandma, kids and I all went to a water park around the corner and it only cost a dollar a person! We were going to have a picnic outside and play on the playground but it was way too hot! So we came home ate and the kids took a long nap, we will be going there a ton this summer!!

K and grandma fixin lunch

He couldn't get enough!


K loves the word WHY! the water would squirt up and then take a few minutes to do it again and she didn't understand where the water was going so she would say why!!


CHEESE!!

Weekend with the Peck's and McKean's

So to do a little bit of catching up Landon and Kelley came to visit!On Saturday Kelley dropped Landon off to have some fun with K and C while she had a little me time. We were super excited to see them since we hadn't seen them since Thanksgiving and I couldn't wait to see Kelley's growing buddah, she's having a girl by the way!! (they just found out!) The kids played in the sprinkler and then played with trains... they get along so well!

He loves putting buckets on his head!

The next day we met up with the McKean's and Kelley and Landon at the church festival. Kinley and Chance didn't have a nap so the were a little cranky, and Kinley was afraid of everything so she was having a pretty rough day. After we took the kids on a caterplliar "kiddie ride" (was a lot faster than any of us anticipated) Kinley was done! Landon rode on a ATV ride and did awesome, so we thought Chance might enjoy it and boy did he!!!

He looked like such a big boy!!

After a fun day of rides and eating fried food we came back to the McKean's and relaxed for a bit before dinner and pie. Kelley had the idea of giving the kids popsicles as their desert and Kinley and Landon loved em! Chance doesn't have a sweet tooth so he just carried it around. In the picture above Landon and Chance are doing cheers!

Not a fan of Dell!!

I will never purchase anything from Dell ever again!! Worst customer service I have ever dealt with!!


The reason why I have not been making any posts is because my hard drive crashed and it's been an awful 3 weeks trying to get it fixed. I was going to write about my horrible experience with Dell but I think my statement above explains enough! But we are back!!
