What a Week!

Last Sunday, the 22nd was "Funday Sunday", an annual carnival the church we attend out here hosts. I really had no idea what to expect, but wow was it huge! Alexa LOVED it!! Everything (with the exception of the hot dogs and pizza) is free! Since Billy was out of town, I brought the kiddos by myself, and while we did some things with friends, most the stuff Alexa wanted to do, she had to be a big girl and do it by herself since I was strolling or holding Brody.

She was so excited to ride the big boat and I couldn't believe she picked the seat at the very top! She also rode the "Berry go Round" (a spinning ride similar to the Disney Teacups), got her nails painted, her hair painted, and went on a pony ride! She had a great time!!



It was also a great opportunity for me to test out the new sit 'n stand stroller I just bought! I LOVE this stroller! It is a little more compact and much more light weight than the traditional double strollers, plus the older child can sit or stand (as the name implies) so the parent does not have to pick them up to put them in the stroller - Alexa likes the new "big girl" seat and it makes my life so much easier when trying to take both of them places by myself! Here's a photo of Brody enjoying his new ride as well!

Thursday was her preschool field trip to the zoo (another fun time) as well as Brody's monthly weight check. At 16 lb 7 oz, he has gained almost a pound over the last month! He has gotten even closer to crawling this week, with a few knee movements here and there, but once he realizes I am watching him (or if I actually cheer for him), he quickly reverts to his sitting position and pops his thumb back in his mouth...

Billy was supposed to be out of town until next week, but instead, his trip was cut short due to a schedule change and he came home today!

That's the latest at our household...hope you enjoy the new photos!
