31 Weeks

31 Weeks- 4/8/15
Warning: There are LOTS of pictures on this post! :)

 

Blake keeps getting bigger and bigger. He is still crawling. He isn't taking off as fast as I thought he would. Usually when he learns something new he does it all the time but I don't know if he is just exhausted at the end of the day but man he is a turtle. Which I know I should be happy about but I was excited for him to be crawling everywhere. He is now chewing on his whole hand. All 4 fingers at once. He got a cool tether for Easter and he likes that a lot.

 

We had a SUPER fun weekend! We had the best visitors ever! Josh and Alli came to visit Thursday night! Jeremy and I got home a little before them so we hurried and made dinner. Then we hung out with them in the backyard while it cooked. We ate and then headed to Gateway. We went to the donut shop, Olivia played in the splash pad, we walked around and then Jeremy took Olivia to the candy store! That was really funny! Below are pictures of Blake and Asher meeting for the first time! I think they liked each other! :)

 

Friday Jeremy and I worked and Blake went to daycare. We sent them to Enchanted Island with our Pogo Pass for the day. It sounded like it was fun! I can't wait until Blake is big enough to go. Enchanted Island is a kid amusement park. After they picked up Blake from daycare and met up with Jeremy and I after work. We headed to the mall to see the Easter Bunny! Of course the Easter Bunny was on a break so we had to wait but we had fun walking around and talking. We were about the 4th family in line and they went really fast. The lady was really nice and let us do a couple different pictures with the Easter bunny. We bought the CD so we could get all the pictures. They turned out really cute!

 

Next, we headed to the western town. We were so excited to go to the saloon for dinner but when we got there it said you had to have a reservation. Sad day!! They would have loved it! Instead we walked around the town and then ate at the casino next door. The kids were getting tired so we went home after.

 

Saturday we got up early and headed downtown for breakfast! We took them to our favorite breakfast place!! I think they liked it too! :) We walked around the farmers market and then headed to the zoo. Unfortunately I made a mistake and forgot to bring a bottle so we had to stop to buy one. Once we got to the zoo we got tickets for the train. Our ticket was for 10 so we walked around and then hurried to the train. We were lucky enough to get the last full row on the train! Blake and Asher played and chewed on their fingers during the train ride!

 

 

Blake and Asher fell asleep after the train while we walked around the zoo! It was a ton of fun! We found a kids splash pad to cool off a bit and then went to the monkey exhibit. Which was pretty cool since the monkeys walk around right in front of you. After we cooled off in a monkey exhibit. Next, all the kids rode the carousel! Blake loved it! He held on tight to the bar and when it stopped he started crying! It was so cute! We walked around a little bit more and then headed home so the kids could take a good nap.

 

 

For dinner we went to Hawaiian burger. We originally were going to get a babysitter but we decided it would be easier to just take the kids. The kids were actually really well behaved. Blake sat with us in the booth and played with his toys, Asher sat in his car seat and watched us and Olivia played in the booth. It was fun to watch the march madness games a little and talk. After we had fun playing in the backyard.

 

Easter Sunday was super fun! The kids slept in pretty late compared to the other days. The Easter Bunny came and hid the baskets. Once Olivia got up we had her find her Easter basket. I think she liked it! She got an Elsa dress, lawn mower, and candy. Asher got a few toys and a tummy time mirror. Blake got to find his basket too! The Easter bunny gave him the basket and his awesome Grandma and Grandpa Krass got him all the stuff around the basket including some much needed summer PJ's!

After breakfast we all dyed hard boiled eggs together. Then, Josh and Jeremy hid the eggs and Olivia found them. After, Josh and Alli had to finish packing up and headed on their way! We had so much fun with them while they were here! I know Blake and Chloe miss them! Olivia and Chloe were buds and Asher and Blake were buds!
