Arboretum

The weather was great this morning, and we made a trip out to one of our favorite places.  The flowers and greenery at the arboretum are always so beautiful, I love taking lots of pictures (even though Z wasn't happy about posing at first).  I got some decent shots for my 800th blog posting!  The boys were happy that the new train exhibit is almost ready.

Sunday Pool Pics

We had fun at the pool on a warm Sunday afternoon!

Swimming Fun

The boys really love to swim, and we go to our pool almost every day.  Matty has turned into a fish and Zach is finally swimming without his bubble.  We made a trip to my parents' pool on Thursday evening.  Matty jumped off of the diving board a lot, and Zach practiced his swimming.

Asthma Test

I took Matty in for an asthma test on Thursday.  We know that he has seasonal allergies that sometimes require a puffer, but he has never officially been tested for asthma.  The results are a bit gray...he didn't really get the hang of the breathing test until the end, after he had received an albuterol treatment.  So, the amount of air that he blew into the straw was better at the end, and it was concluded that he has a case of mild asthma.  We now have the proper paperwork to turn into the school nurse, in the case that he ever needs a few puffs.

JD

Zach loves to pedal his JD tractor just as much as Matty did when he was 3!

Steamy Morning

Night Out

Jeremy and I went out to celebrate our 13 year anniversary last night (only 2 months late), and had a fun time.  We tried a new bar called Rock 'n Brew first, and then ate dinner at Bonefish.

In the meantime, the boys had fun at church and at On the Border with my parents.

New Bed

Zach loved sleeping in his 'little bed' as he called it.  He has never once climbed out of it, and usually tells me that he wants his little bed when he is tired at night.  And Z doesn't like change very much, so we have waited as long as we could before buying him new mattresses for his big guy bed.  We put the bed together yesterday morning and moved some furniture around...and presto!  Zach has a new big guy room.  It made me a little sentimental, because it seems like just yesterday his crib and dressers were being delivered prior to his birth.  The good news is that he did great sleeping in his new bed last night!  I think he really liked all of the extra room.

One last pose in the little bed.

Bye little bed!

Last before shot.

And the big reveal!  Zach's new and improved room!

Writing

The boys have both been practicing writing and spelling.

Zach wrote his name all by himself!

We saw the Lego movie this week and Matty wrote about it.

Antioch Park

We visited Antioch Park yesterday morning.  The boys had fun playing in the little houses, climbing on all of the playground equipment, taking a walk around the lake, and having a picnic lunch!

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

We went to the theater on Monday and the boys saw the Wizard of Oz for the first time!  They loved all of the songs, and Z especially liked the Tin Man.  He laughed out loud when the Tin Man was trying to talk, but his mouth was rusted shut.
