May 14, 2013~ 30 months old

What a slacker I have been with my posts this year! Between work and kids, 2013 has been pretty busy so far! We recently took kids to the beach for the first time. We had a great trip and enjoyed the quick getaway with friends Drew and Becca Cox. The kids loved the sand, the water and playing with their friends Kinslee and Colton. I was pretty worried about the 7.5 hr drive to Gulf Shores, but we managed. The ride down went pretty well....not so well on way back home. I am pretty sure I climbed from the front seat to the back,to tend to one of the kids, 500 times....well, at least 30 or so! Overall, it was a grat trip and I look forward to the next time we are able to take them to the beach! Easter and Mothers Day have come and gone. The kids had a lot more fun with egg hunt this year and loved getting their treats in the eggs! They are understanding more these days and were pretty excited about Easter Bunny bring them a basket of goodies.
Quick individual update:
Kate: pretty much potty trained for past couple of months, but still has occasional accidents. Loves to play with her kitchen, watch TV....Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and princess, play outside and read. Just tonight I heard her singing and realized she was singing the books of the New Testament-so proud, but pretty sure Gigi gets credit for this one:). Her new favorite saying..."You're my best friend" is so sweet, but watch out bc she will change her mind on her best friend before you know it!

Brooks: started using potty this week and is doing Great! No accidents all day today:) he will do whatever it takes to get a Treat! He still puts up the biggest fight about resting and would rather go ByeBye than stay home any day of the week. He may be my social butterfly as he even cries at times when we are pulling in neighborhood bc he knows we are almost home. I try not to take offense to the fact that my 2 year old hates being/returning home. He LOVES playing outside hitting the ball and "riding his bike" (tricycle).  His adorable smile and sweet facial expressions can still melt my heart.he still likes to be held more than the other 2. I try not to give in all the time, but know this will not last much longer so am enjoying holding. And cuddling with him while I can.

Braden: still so sweet,yet so strong! The 2 year old boys' strength really amazes (and kinda scares) me sometimes! He loves to wrestle with his daddy and climb and jump on anything he can find....boys will be boys! He has a pretty good arm on him, so i have learned to watch out if he has the ball! He also loves playing ball with daddy and is getting a little better at catching.  He doesnt quite get the potty thing yet, but is willing to sit on the potty in attempt to get a treat-no treats thus far, but hopefully he will catch on soon. His latest saying is "Nevermind" in response to a question he does not want to answer. He still loves his elephants and sleeps with them every night. He likes "BIG trucks", puzzles and my iPad.
 We have just ordered a playset for backyard which should be up soon. I know the kids will love this and I look forward to summer and being able to get out of house a little more. Plan to do swim lessons this summer as well, so we will see how that goes!
