Trip to Indy

I went to Indy on Friday and suprised Tyler! It was soooo good to see him, I have missed him a lot. He worked most of the time but we hung out with friends and stuff when he got off. On Sunday we slept in, then got ready to go to the Indians basebally game. They are a minor league team of the Pirates. We went with Allie and Justin. It was deathly hot, thank heavens our seats were in the shade!! After the game we went to the mall then to dinner. I was sad to leave but I will be going back soon!

Waiting for Justin and Allie
They were giving free shirts as we walked in, Tyler was pretty excited about it

A little off the subject... but I have been at my sister's for about 3 weeks. I took a picture of Bladen each week with the activity/crafts we have done. Each week I do a different theme.

Week 1: Animals

Week 2: Nature/Earth

I love this little guy! Even though he can sure be a handful sometimes!! :)

I'm a little late on this post but we celebrated my sister's birthday last week! Here is the birthday girl and Bladen (who thinks it was his)

Bladen took this picture... I'm still in shock our heads aren't cut off!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Bumps and Bruises

We have had quite the weekend.. or should I say Bladen has had quite the weekend.. After his rough night falling in the fountaint at Putt Putt, the next morning he had a play date with some of his friends and he was so hyped up he jumped on his bed and hit right into the wood frame.

This was the result....
Right away it puffed up and turned black and blue. He cried for a bit but soon forgot about it when it came time to playing at the park! He is pretty tough! We went to the park and had lunch then played all day. Here is some pictures of the kids swinging

Playing under the trees because it started to rain!

Hopefully no more accidents this week!!

Fun Day!

Friday's are mine and Bladen's "fun days" where he can choose to do whatever he wants! We went to the movie, of course, and we went and saw How to Train Your Dragon in 3D. I loved it and I am not one to go see an animated movie. It was so cute and Bladen loved every mintue of it too. He actually wore his glasses the whole time.. haha! Here are some pics of us in our sweet 3D shades!

Later that night we had dinner then went to Putt Putt Golf. We had quite the experience.. it started off by teaching Bladen how to hold his golf club.......

...and how to stand on the bricks while others are taking their turn to hit...

... and to listen to his mom and dad when they tell him to stay away from the fountains...

... but this ended up happening.. yup he FELL in, got soaking wet, and screamed his guts out! I guess he learned his lesson! Poor kid, we had to strip his clothes off!

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day, me and Bladen woke up early and cooked sticky buns, eggs, and bacon for Laci! We ate breakfast then got ready for our picnic. We went to Allerton Park and spent the day there. The scenery was so pretty. I hope Laci had a great Mother's Day! I am glad I was able to celebrate it with them.

Eating our Jimmy Johns!

Looking at the HUGE tad poles in the pond.. I've never seen them that big!

Flower garden. This was my favorite thing. The flowers were soooo pretty

Soooo.....most of my blogs this summer with be about my cutest little nephew, Bladen! We get to spend the summer together so we will be doing LOTS of fun things! On Thursday at his day care they had a Mother's Day Tea Party and I was invited. He was sooo excited about it and when we got there he was sitting at the table patiently waiting for us. He just kept hugging both me and my sister and putting his arms around us. It was so cute! We had a snack and then the kids sang some songs and stuff. Here are some pics:

He wanted a picture by their class pet, Louie (guinnea pig)

Indy Museum and Zoo

Just so you know now this post is going to be a picture OVERLOAD! We got to Indy on Wed and my sister and Bladen came to stay the weekend with me. I was SOOO excited to see them I could barley stand it. I haven't seen them since Christmas so I could not wait!!! They got here Friday morning. When they got here we headed to the Indianapolis Zoo. The zoo was so much fun and one of the nicest zoos I have been to! It was really nice and pretty much every animal had babies!! My favorite was the sea lions and the dolphins! Here are some pics of the zoo:



Our first stop was the sea lions. Their trainers were out there doing a show when we got there so that was fun to see.

Looking at fish

Waiting for the dolphin show, as you can tell he was excited!

Giraffes. Baby giraffe was born in Dec.

Yes, Bladen got to feed the giraffe a "tato"

Rhinos

These monkeys were hilarious to watch... don't ask me why he was licking the fence

Of course we couldn't leave without riding the carousel!

Bear

Cheese!!

Watching the sea lions one last time before we left

The next day we went to the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. We saw it while we were driving to the zoo so I am glad we saw it or we would have never known to go there. It is the biggest one in the US. Even I was so excited to go there!! This is the front of the museum with these life size dinos!!

Walking across the sky walk to get into the museum

They had a barbie exhibit... couldn't wait to see it!

This is the dinosar exhibit

They had this cool cave thing you could crawl in to and stick your head up and see the dinosaurs

They had a whole section on trains

.. and Star Wars

Yup this is a clock..

Bob the Builder exhibit... Bladen's favorite

Picture with Bob the Builder... we don't know why he is standing so far away haha

He is the weirdest child ever... he was freaking out because he didn't wanna get sand in his shoes

The last day they were here we took Bladen fishing. We have a couple lakes at our apt that we can fish at. He had lots of fun and HAD to wear his Batman tackle box

I had so much fun with them here and miss them already................ good thing I go there in a week to be his nanny :)
