Time Flies When You're Havin' Fun!

I know it was been since before Easter that I last posted but we have been some very busy people! We have been on the move since the weather has gotten warmer. So, we have lots to catch up on and even more pictures to share!

Easter

We went down to New Martinsville for Easter this year. The Easter bunny was very good to Nic and he seemed to enjoy his basket!









In the afternoon we drove down to Parkersburg to visit with My friend Nicole and her new baby Sylvia! They were in town from Greenville, SC so this was the first time Nic and Sylvia met!
Don't they look excited! ?!?



I guess someday I will learn to take the pictures before the kids are cranky and tired and ready to go home! :)

Nic did get some fun time in watching sports, eating munchies and hanging out with the guys.



Nic got this cool new chair for Easter from Grammy and Grampy and he loves it! It is probably one of the simplest toys he has, but he sits and plays with it all of the time!





The Children's Museum

We have also discovered the Children's Museum in downtown Wheeling. There is so much to do there and the kids can just run (or crawl) all over the place and have a blast.

Here are just a few of the cool things we do at the museum...


the rice table is a HUGE hit with all of the kids!









Climbing on the clubhouse







looking at the "busy" downtown Wheeling traffic



playing on the stage and with the costumes



grocery shopping



coloring


and just having fun!



The Pittsburgh Zoo

A few of us went to the Pittsburgh Zoo on a Monday morning and we had so much fun! This was Nic's first trip to the zoo. I thought he would enjoy seeing all of the animals an I really think he did. As I suspected, he loved the aquarium! He has seen the aquarium at Cabelas and loved it. If he loves looking at a bunch of dirty river fish, surely he would love a big huge aquarium, right? :)





cherrios, again?



The big boys, Fletcher and Nic



eating lunch



checking out the dog sled by the polar bear exhibit with Fletcher and Sophia



REALLY excited to see the penguins up close!



mesmerized by the fish in the big aquarium (and getting very sleepy)


crawling through the stingray tanks!



walking through the deer petting grounds, but no deer would even come up to us! Nic wanted to touch one so bad!



MORE DIPPIN' DOTS!



completely exhausted, but magically perked up when I mentioned the words, gift shop! haha



Nic's first "taste" of finger painting

One morning we went to our friend Abby's and had a big finger painting party! The kids had a blast and we had a fun time watching them make a huge mess! haha



















Washing up and cracking up at Colton!


One of the finished products



First Carnival

St. Michaels Parish has a Carnival every year and the was the first year Nic was big enough to go! We all met at Abby's house and had hot dogs then walked over to the fair. We did ride one ride, the carousel. Nic didn't like it, so we just watched other people ride rides and shared some funnel cake! :)

This is a fun little wagon ride before we left for the carnival. I just think they all look so cute! :)




Look what I won!


Colton being funny, again!


Thinking maybe he likes funnel cake....


Kam and her mommy, lookin cute


We did have a couple of weeks that were no fun at all. Nic had the flu and got really dehydrated. We had to spend a couple of days in the hospital, but I was so proud of him. He had to stay in bed for the entire time and hardly put up a fight. Its amazing how well young ones adapt to situations. He hung in bed with me the whole time and watched television, colored, played and really was just the best little boy in the world!



He loved playing with the hospital bed, haha. He is fully recovered now and we never want to go through that again! Thanks to our good friends and family, Nic had plenty of toys and books to play with!

When we got home our friend Abby had made him the cutest little cardboard kitchen! She is so sweet! Nic plays with it all the time!





Well, thats about it! Like I said, it has been a very busy couple of months for us, but I will try to update more often!!!

Here are a few more cute pictures (because I'm sure you haven't seen enough!)....
