Kam's Fire Fiesta

Andrew's friend, Kameron, celebrated his 3rd birthday with a Fire engine party.  We played a few games, got to see a real fire truck, opened gifts, ate some hot dogs, and enjoyed chocolate birthday cake. 

Duck, Duck, Goose!

We invited Mimi, Jackie and J-dawg for dinner (Steak, Corn on the Cob, Potatoes, Blue Raspberry Jello, with Brownies for dessert). After dinner we enjoyed entertainment, by Andrew. 

He was doing all sorts of entertaining things when Mimi asked him to play Ring around the Rosie. We did that a couple times and I asked him if he had played Duck, Duck, Goose. He said yes, but I wasn't convinced. We ALL proceeded to teach him how to play Duck, Duck, Goose. It was hilarious. I finally stepped back to video the group.

 

Big Boy Undies

We officially pulled the trigger on serious potty training. Andrew has been in pull-ups and using the potty daily for some time now, but we were never consistent. We thought undies would help.

He has had a couple accidents at daycare and a couple at home over the past week and half, but he doing great!

Wearing Nemo undies while watching Nemo! Ha Ha

He's so proud of his big boy undies!

Weekend Recap

Saturday, we headed to Mom & Dad's just before lunch time. We arrived just in time for Round Steak Rice & Gravy!  

Play time and nap for Andrew... while I worked on a sewing project.  

After dinner, Andrew and I rode with Mimi to pick up Poppa at the airport. He had been gone for long time!  Poppa was so surprised to see Andrew at the airport!

 Sunday, we did yard work all morning. Got cleaned up and had some lunch. Andrew took a nap and as soon as he woke up we headed to Mimi & Poppa's house to SWIM!  The Kiefers and Hagen Family were swimming too.

Andrew is getting very brave in the water. He wants to just jump off things and leap in. He is getting a little too much for me to handle in the pool, so I put his swim vest on.  He needs to get used to wearing it because his head still falls in the water when he swims forward... but he's getting better. Before we knew it, he was jumping in on his own, went under water and popped back up! He loved it!  He kept doing it over and over and over again.

 Andrew and Allison love being around each other. But Kam, Allison's older brother, is already a little protective. He sometimes comes over and gets between them... so funny.

I have a video of Andrew jumping in, but it's not uploading.

Mommy & Me Day

Friday, Andrew and I took a road trip to Stephenville, TX to see my friend Mindy and her kids, Cash & Palin.  We got there about 2:00pm and went to a local waterpark. Andrew had so much fun and didn't want to leave. He has played with Palin before, but I think they solidified their friendship this trip - they were best buddies!

Snack Time!

Andrew loved the slide... he kept going over and over again

After swimming, we changed into dry clothes and headed to a local burger joint, Grumps. It was delicious!  After our tasty dinner Andrew and I loaded up and headed back home. We got back home around 8:30pm. It was a short trip, but we had lots of fun and really enjoyed the company!
