Today I took the kids to see Cars 2. It was their first trip to see a movie at the movie theater.
Bella loved the popcorn.
Jack enjoyed the pink lemonade.
Of course, Teddy ate and slept during the movie.
The movie started at 11:00 and there was probably 15 minutes worth of previews. At around 12:00 Jack leans over to me and says, "Mommy, let's go home." I then look over at Bella and she was laying down on the floor. So, needless to say, we left.
Last Wednesday we went to COSI to see the Big Machine exhibit. There was all kinds of construction equipment on the riverfront that you could sit on and even operate!
Here are Jack and Bella (and Mommy!) moving dirt with the big digger!!
After we were done looking at the big machines, we played in the fountains...
... and enjoyed the beautiful Columbus skyline.
On Thursday, Jack had his class at the zoo. Bella and Teddy visited the animals while he was there. Teddy was loving the aquarium. Here he is looking at the fish.
Bella had fun visiting the manatee.
On Friday, we went to Dayton to visit Grandma and Grandpa for Father's Day Weekend.
While we were there, Jack and Bella had fun taking a walk together and playing with the tricycle.
On Saturday we celebrated Bella's birthday with Aaron's side of the family.
We had a nice Father's Day weekend. How could we not, when we have these sweet kids?!
This week, we have...
gone to the library,
played together at home,
gone to Recreations Outlet to play on the swing sets, basketball courts, and trampolines,
and tried rice cereal for the first time!
Today we went to the zoo again for Jack's class. Here he is in the elephant ears he made at school.
Today Bella had her two-year-old check up and Teddy had his four month check up.
Bella weighs 30.6 lbs. She is in the 90th percentile for weight. She is 35 inches tall which is 90th percentile for height. Bella was such a big girl. She had to get two vaccinations and her toe pricked to check her hemoglobin. When the the nurse pricked her toe she told her, "Ouch!" Then she told her, "Do another one." :)
Here she is reading a book with Daddy.
Teddy weighs 17 pounds 10 ounces. He is in the 95th percentile for weight. He is 24 3/4 inches tall which is the 50th percentile. Teddy had to get two vaccinations. Here he is sleeping it off when we got home. Check out those band-aids on his thighs. Poor baby!
Jack didn't have to see the doctor, but he was a very good boy while we were there. He is lying in his bed with Teddy and Daddy reading a book.
Today was Bella's second birthday! Here is the birthday girl when she woke up this morning.
After everyone got dressed, we went downstairs and opened presents. By far Bella's favorite present was her trampoline. The girl LOVES to jump!
She loved the tricycle too!
We spent the morning at a cool, new park in Dublin. Here are Jack and Bella on the see-saw.
Tonight, we had pizza and an Elmo birthday cake for dinner.
Dear Bella,
How are you two years old?! You always seem like my little baby girl and everyday you continue to amaze me with the new things you learn. You are such an independent, determined girl and I hope you always stay that way. I am so blessed to have you as my daughter. I love spending everyday with you and your brothers. I love you to the moon and back!
On Saturday we went strawberry picking. It was very muddy, but we had a great time. Enjoy these pictures of Jack and Bella picking strawberries and eating the profits!
