Planting flowers and finding worms!!

The weather has been beautiful in Southwest Ohio lately. So we took advantage of the beautiful weather, and decided to plant some flowers. Joseph really enjoyed planting the flowers, and it is a great opportunity to teach him to grow things. I really wanted to plant a small garden, but since I am 36 weeks pregnant that will have to wait until next year.

Big Joe showed Joseph this big worm and now Joseph is obsessed with worms. Isn't that a big earth worm. Luckily we saved the worm from a obsessed 3yr. Joseph is the one who put his crocs on the wrong feet, and was very adamant that they were on the right feet.

Joseph's first soccer practice

Today was Joseph's first soccer practice. He did so good. He followed directions from his coach very well. In fact Joseph got really upset when it was break time. This kid does not like to take breaks. Joseph has practice every thurday from 6-7 and his games are on saturday.


Joseph ready to go

Getting in line

Running fast

No hands

Waiting for his turn

Then after practice, lunch, and nap Joseph helped Joe mow the lawn. (On the tractor)

Easter weekend

We had a wonderful Easter with Mimi and Grandpa. Joe and Joseph helped Grandpa load boxes into the pod. Joseph loves to help so much that he would get really mad when it was break time. Here are some pictures of us coloring eggs. The eggs would of been darker in color but Joseph did not have the patience to wait.

Joseph had a good time finding all the eggs. He kept yelling EGGS!!

Look at all the eggs he found. He had enough candy to last a few months.

Here we are a family a three but not much longer. As of today he will be here in 22 days.

33 weeks 2 days pregnant

Here are some pictures from today.





As most of y'all know my c-section date is 4/29/10 so we have only 6 wks left. This pregnancy has gone by so fast compared to my pregnancy with Joseph. I give credit to Joseph. He keeps me busy everyday but I am loving it.

This past week we signed Joseph up for soccer. He will play on the 3yr-4yr coed team. He starts practise after Easter and I think his first game is April 17. We are so excited for him. I will take a ton of pictures and some video because I am sure it will be pretty funny. On the registration form it asked if we were interested in coaching. I tried to get Joe to but he said no way did he want to coach 3yr and 4yr olds soccer.

Joseph also has a new cousin!! Kayla Brooke was born on 3/18 and we can't wait to see some pictures. Poor baby Kayla is going to be surrounded by boys. Kayla and Levi will only be 6 wks apart, and we thought Joseph and Ryan were close in age. Poor Mimi and Grandpa gets grandkids by the twos, but I am sure they are loving it.

Video games, chocolate pretzels, and birthday cakes

The past week Joseph has really taken an interest in playing video games. He really loves playing the Wii and frogger on the playstation. Here are some pictures.






Then Joseph became quite a fan of chocolate pretzels. So instead of paying $3 dollars for a small pack I decided to make them. Here are some pictures of Joseph helping me.







Then today Joseph and Joe baked me a birthday cake. Joseph demanded on making me a hitball cake. (football cake) Here are some pictures.







The best part

Snow, playroom, and Levi's letters.

Since we got back from Texas we have had a alot of snow days. Not sure how much we have gotten, but I do know it will be around for a while. Even today it is snowing again. I can't wait until spring. Here are some pictures of Joseph playing in the snow.

Trying to get his car out.









We as in Joe and I are very happy that our new house has a playroom. We were so tired of toys in the livingroom and in Joseph's bedroom. I mean how do you put a 3 yr old in timeout if all of his toys are in his room?

Here are some before pictures.



In Joseph's words "What a mess"



Making progress





Results





Joseph telling me it is not a mess.



For the walls I hung up some of Joseph's art work from mothers day out.







And I wanted to add Levi's letters because they turned out great. Thanks Alison!!

This kid makes me laugh

So this afternoon I hear Joseph yelling "I am in here" over and over again. So I run to find what he has gotten himself into and this is what I found.

I forgot to close Levi's bedroom door. Needless to say now Levi's bedroom is closed and he can't get in there. I am glad he did not get hurt.
