Warning: If you are not a Thomas the train lover this post isn't for you.

Yesterday we road tripped to GB for the "Day out with Thomas" event.


When it was our turn to ride the train getting his ticket punched was the best thing in his world. He has watched this sooooo many times on tv and now he got to do it too! So cute to see him hold his ticket out and wait his turn.

There was so much stuff to do, all hands on. This was another heilight I would say for Brooks was "doing the work" as he said.

The trains that we got to go inside of where so large. Here you get a feel of just how large.
(sorry for how bright the pic is. forgot to work on that before the post)

Thanks Thomas for a great day.
See you again next year!

Breakfast on the Farm.
You know how Brooks LOVES to eat and try new foods....ha!
Matt, Grandma, and Grandpa took the boys to the farm.
It was a very hands on experience.



There was a fire truck there too.


That is the best looking farmer and cow I know :)

Brody in the tractor tire.


Looks like everyone had a great time.

Rain, rain, stay away this weekend.
We need summer to stay.
It is the middle of June already!!!

Have a super weekend.

Do you have allergies?

Many people may not realize they have allergies, ofte

n attributing their congestion and runny nose to a cold. Left untreated, allergies can cause more se

rious conditions like sinusitis or ear infections. It is important to decipher between allergies and colds.

Allergies symptoms: Runny nose with thin, watery dis

charge, sneezing, congestion, wheezing, itchy nose, throat or eyes.

Cold symptoms: Runny nose with watery to thick yellow discharge, sneezing, low grade fever, wea

kness and fatigue.


Have you researched the ingredients in your allergy medication?

-Zyrtec

-Claritin -D

-Singulair



Would you try something with no side effects?

Ingredients you can pronounce?


OPC-3 is the natural choice!

Grape Seed Extract

Red Wine Extract

Ask yourself:

This looks like a good situation right?
Matt was trying to give Brody a hair cut while he plays.
You can guess how it ended.
Yes I had to finish it for the next two days.
A little cut here and more there until he caught onto what I was doing.
Why do hair cuts make them grow up in a matter of minutes?





Congrats Luc!
We are excited to have you home soon.



Mom and dad where so proud.

Good time had by all.
Special thanks to Aunt Tina and Jeremy for loving Brooks and Brody while we where gone.
They had a blast.
Promise the next time won't be for awhile so you can forget about how much work it was :)


Onto another week........

Portrait parties are a great value!!












A good mom would have noticed his boots where on the wrong feet. Ooooooops!



Can't wait for next time.

The weather was perfect yesterday for Mother's Day.
Moms and mom to be picture!



The two reasons I celebrated being a mom.


Here is one on the way. (sorry Abby!)





Today couldn't be windier.
We did plastic bag kites outside.
No string to mess with or getting stuck in trees.
Perfect.

Brooks didn't understand to wait for the wind. haha still burned off some energy.



Happy finally spring week.

Played at the Dream Park yesterday with friends.
Funny reading this at the park after my last post.




These two where too involved in exploring to notice each other.

Dive in and make your dreams come true!
(who would have thought that you could teach a 3 year old to dive?!!)






*Yuck these pictures are gross(kind of like the weather today). They where taken with my little point and shoot I keep in my purse.*
