Pooped out!

I'm sooo tired, I don't know how I'm writing this, ha!

We went to Champaign for 2 days, but we did so much stuff there it was exhausting. We went to the playground, we went to the museum, we went to the pool, we grilled out, we basically didn't stop much :)
They kids were great though, a little crankiness, but not much for no naps for 2 days straight.

We then got back today, unpacked the car, and then turned around and got loaded up to go to the lake. We went out with Beth and Will and had a good time. There was great company on the boat. Aydan was a little dare devil today. He got into water (with jacket) and was doing all sorts of things. He went on the beach, up and down, sitting in sand, playing with the bucket, basically had a BLAST!
Now I'm home, both kids were asleep by 8, and I'm heading there in minutes!
Goodnight world!

2 Doctor check up's!

I had Emma's 4 month appt. and Aydan's 3 year appt today. They are going soooo much! But the appt. went well, so that's great news.
Aydan: 3 years old
3'4"  31 lbs. Projected to be 6'3" !!! Whoa, taller than Mom and Dad. He's says he talks really well and will probably be an early reader. And last but not least, he told me not to be worried about the potty training, ha. We'll see.
Emma: 4 months old
2'2"  12.5 lbs. 98% for height. 40% for weight. She's doing good. She's sitting up (not on own), holding her head up nice. She cooooing and making good sounds. She's aware of Mom and people around her.

So proud of my kids and their good check ups.

4 months old!

Its been awhile

Ok.... ok... sorry, it's been awhile since I have blogged. I hit a wall. Then I didn't make the time. Etc, excuse, excuse.

I lot has happened since Mother's day (my last post):
*The school ended. Yay! More time with little Emma and crazy Aydan.
*I also got my contract to teach again next year and got tenture, yay!!
*Went on an extremely fun Wine trail weekend. My husband planned an early birthday present for me. We got a limo for the day and hit the wine trails, it was so much fun!!
*Justin turned 32
*I tried 29, 1 more year until I'm 30. I had a really fun night out with teachers and a nice night with my husband for a movie and sushi.
*We celebrated our niece's birthday where she turned 1, Avalinn, and our friend's son turned 1 too, Jake. Two 1st birthdays in 1 day.
*Emma went swimming for the 1st time, she also laughed the 1st time right before the pool.
*I was in a wedding. One of my best friend, Courtney got married! yay! It was such a beautiful day. And such a fun night. I haven't had that much fun dancing in a long time!
*We went to Chicago for Justin's summer conference. Emma's 1st trip there. We got to visit with my friend Heather and meet her son Brayden. He's a preemie, and such a spirited beautiful baby. I so happy for them. We also had a nice dinner out with Cory, Albrey, and Jay.
*We had a good 4th of July, took Aydan to see Cars 2, he enjoyed himself.
*I started cereal and bananas with Emma about a week ago.
*She drooling like crazy and chewing on Sophie the giraffe

*Emma turns 4 months later this week, crazy, the time has flown. I have her doctor's appt on Thursday, along with Aydan's 3 year appt.
I'll be back soon with her 4 month details.
