State Fair

Mark took the day off today and we went to breakfast and then the state fair. We had an amazing day! The fun didn't stop for Connor - he is off to spend some quality one on one time with Grandpa and Gammy. Here are some pictures from the fair:

I can't believe he actually wanted to feed the goats, but he did! He was so funny showing us how they did it later - by licking his hand.

 He rode two rides and he did them both all by himself!! I was shocked he would do that!! He loved them, though!

 Waiting in line. Because he's big.

 Perfect

 A sleepy girl after a long fun day!

splash park

 We went to a splash park today. Connor had so much fun! He loves the one at the zoo, so I knew he would have a blast. He came up to me every 10-15 minutes saying that he loved it, or he liked the water, or that he was having so much fun. It was awesome.

Kate was not a huge fan at first. She was content sitting in the stroller looking at all the fools in the freezing cold water. She doesn't really like to get splashed, so I didn't think a splash park would be the most fun thing she has ever done, but she ended up having a good time, too! 

 Yes, she wore her puddle jumper for an hour. She refused to take it off.

 She pushed to stroller around for awhile. Unbeatable entertainment.

 She liked to stand and look at the water, but would never go past the first step. It might have something to do with the fact that the water was below zero... or just because she doesn't like to get in. Who knows.

My favorite picture. 

You can see here what Kate and Connor did most of the time. She walked around in a circle from the 1 inch deep water onto the concrete and back and he ran around with Abby. You do see her bite the dust, but she was fine.. no tears.

Kate walking and Connor riding a bike

Kate is finally walking! She started about a month ago and is getting faster every day. She loves playing chase and saying, "boo" as she walks around the corner.

She also loves dancing..

Here is Connor riding his bike for one of the first times by himself.

Incredible Pizza with Connor

 We took Connor to Incredible Pizza last weekend. Grandpa and Gammy had some special one on one time with Kate, so he got a big boy night! He had a BLAST!! He picked tiny army men and tiny dinosaurs for his prize with all his tickets.

 His favorite game was this racing one. Most games were 25 to 50 cents, and this one was a dollar... so of course he had to play it four times. He had to be green for Chick Hicks, red for Lightning and Blue for the King... gotta love Cars.

 Here he is with his dessert and some of his toy prizes in front of him. He had so much fun!

Baby #3

I am sure anybody who actually reads this blog already knows this, but we are pregnant!! We are due September 12th and had our ultrasound yesterday. Here is one of the pictures. Cute, don't you think?? :)

I won't include the one that shows it's a boy, but it is!! A boy!!

We are so excited and can't wait to meet our baby! 

Connor is also pretty excited - that it's a boy. He has been requesting a brother from the beginning.

Easter egg hunt

Here are some videos from our Easter morning egg hunt. I can't download a video that is more than a minute long, so we have several shorter videos instead of one long one!

playing outside and a couple videos

It was so nice out yesterday that we took the kids out to play for a bit before naptime. They were racing in their cars and had a great time! (too bad it is supposed to snow 10 inches today...)

I think this is my favorite picture of her!

This is a cute video of Kate. She doesn't really do much, but she is just smiling the whole time!

Mark had a day off a couple weeks ago and we went to the Children's Museum. The dinosaurs were the last stop... as you can tell by the fact that I was sitting on a bench, exhausted and not moving haha..
