Our world right now

Trains taking over the family room...(I have to admit, this is my biggest track creation yet-very proud!)


Cars and baby toys exploding in the dining room.


Thank God it's summer so we can get outside and escape the madness which is my house right now!

2 Year Old Preschool Comes to an End

Today is Harrison's last day of 2 year old preschool and I can't believe how fast this year has flown by!  He has learned so much over the year and I have been so happy with the Summit Baptist program that he has attended.  Ms Amanda and Ms Melissa have been so sweet and Harrison has loved every minute of it!  I tried to explain to him this morning that this was going to be his last day of school but I don't think he really understands what that means yet.  I know he will really miss his teachers this summer!  I think the biggest concepts that he picked up this year are being able to sing all of his ABC's and recognizing a few of the letters.  He knows his shapes and colors and he can count to 16...sometimes 20 on a good day and he even knows a decent amount of Spanish (1-10, gracias, hola, and a few animals).  Such a proud mama am I!  We were reading a book about numbers the other night and when he saw the number "8" he said, "Look mom!  Its ocho!!"  It really caught me off guard and I thought it was so funny that he knows the Spanish name for it over the English!  Having double majored in Spanish, I am really envious that he is learning it at such a young age!
We had to miss his end of year school play this week because he caught the stomach bug so I was really sad about it but at least he doesn't understand right now what he missed!  In the scheme of things, I know its not something to worry about, but it still would have been fun to see him up on the stage singing with all his school buddies!
Here is Harrison on his first day of pre-school:

They grow so quickly and when you see them everyday its hard to notice all the changes, but its amazing how he truly has changed into a 'big kid' over the course of the year!

All About My Mom

In honor of Mother's Day this weekend, Harrison's teacher sent home a project that they did where the the teacher asked a series of questions to the kids about their moms and they posted them on a piece of construction paper.  Here were Harrison's answers:

My mom's favorite color is: Red
My mom is 2 years old.
My mom has red eyes and blue hair.
My mom cooks the best dinner.
My mom brings me to the basement.
I love it when my mom goes to the gym
My mom loves blue
My mom looks so pretty when she wears her jammies.

I thought this was too funny.  You can tell they asked these questions right after the tornados came through the other day b/c we don't have a basement but we spent the night at my in-laws house, in their basement.
So cute & definitely put a smile on my face for the day!

Take me out to the ballgame

Lance's dad recently bought some baseball tickets and thought this would be a good time to take Harrison to his first baseball game.  We have been telling him about it for a few weeks and every time we pass the stadium on the way to the zoo, I point out the big baseball stadium, so he has been very excited.  Unfortunately the night before the game, Harrison came down with a fever.  He seemed to be feeling better in the morning so I thought that getting out of the house and getting some fresh air might distract him and make him feel better.  I was definitely wrong about the feeling better part, but he did have a fun day!  When we got there, we met granddaddy and headed over to the cartoon network area.  I had never been over there, but they have a mini baseball field, a big tunnel slide and some other fun games for the kids.  Harrison picked up a bat and one of the workers pitched a few balls to him.  I was shocked when he "knocked it out of the park".  Of course I missed the shot of him actually hitting the ball, but here is one of his attempts.

On our way to our seats, we passed a few of these huge baseballs.  Harrison was intrigued...

"uugghhh - Its too heavy!"

We had amazing seats but they were in the sun so Harrison didn't really want to sit for too long.  We spent most of the day walking around the stadium, but thankfully there are a lot of fun things for the kids to do there.  He saw a little girl with her face painted so we tried to find the face painter, but no luck.  I couldn't pass up this shot...

Watching the game by the big Coke bottle

They have a little a little area where kids can run to a base and Harrison had so much fun running like the baseball players.  Go go go!!!

We did this over and over and over and over...

We made Harrison sit for a photo op before we headed out.  I wish I would have angled the camera so you could see the field.  We had such great seats, probably the closest I've ever sat, too bad I didn't get to actually sit and watch the game. :)

By this point, I think Harrison's fever had started to come back so we had to leave, but overall, I think he had a fun time.  Looking back, I probably should have kept him home to let him rest but he was a trooper!  Go Braves!  Whats sad is that I don't even know if they won or not!

Here are just a few other cute moments from the last few weeks.
Harrison's school had spirit week last week and the kids got to do something fun each day.  Thursday was crazy hair day, so I gave Harrison a mohawk.  I should have taken a picture in the morning, but we were a little rushed, so here he is at the end of the day...

Harrison got this bubble wand for Easter and I made homemade bubbles for him...they are the best ever!

These bubbles are huge!

Poor Davis hasn't made it to this blog post.  He got to stay at grandma's during the baseball game and I swear he was on a picnic blanket behind me in these pictures!  Here is a cute video of him to end the post.  Harrison has been eating a lot of popsicles lately so I have been letting him give Davis a lick or two.  Its pretty funny because Davis makes a sour face everytime you let him have some but then he gets mad when you take it away!

I feel like Davis has been learning so much just in the past week.  He was waving to me and pointing to his nose.  He also started playing the game where you say "How big is Davis??" and he puts his hands in the air.  He gets the biggest smile on his face and is so proud of himself.  Hopefully I can get all this on camera soon!
