birthday party

Daniel got invited to his first birthday party. One of his friends from school turned 5 and we all went to the party. They had a bounce castle which Daniel loved! Liam didn't like bouncing but it was a race car party and all of the kids got a remote control race car which Liam loved driving around! Daniel had so much fun with his friends and we had fun talking with the other moms and dads and having actual adult conversation :)

more fun in the sun

Now that its finally warming up Liam and Daniel are loving getting to go outside more. I love that we have so many parks to go to. I love taking Liam to the park because he is so sweet and friendly with other kids. Everyone at the park is his friend and he just starts playing with everyone.

butterfly preserve

Mike and Dan went on a boys trip to the Mint 400 so Liam and I spent the day together. We went out to breakfast at Panera and went to Springs Preserve to see the butterfly preserve. Liam loved seeing all the butterflies. His favorite was the blue and black one. They had a play ground too which Liam had fun on. They had a really tall slide that he loved!

ER trip

Well we've had our first trip to the ER. Although with 2 boys I'm surprised we made it almost 5 years without a visit. Liam was our first trip to the ER.

We went to the playground in the mall and Liam was walking on the bench after he got up to look at something. As he was getting down he slipped and fell off the bench. On the way down he hit his head on a stroller someone had brought into the play area (you aren't supposed to bring them into the play area). Mike went and grabbed him and found out he was bleeding quite badly from the head. So we ran over to the T-mobile store and got a first aid kit and they called mall security and the paramedics. His head finally stopped bleeding and then we took him to the hospital.

We had the fastest ER trip ever! We were in and out in less than 2 hours! The doctor decided he didn't need stitches and instead used his hair to suture his cut and then they glued it. The poor kid was so tired and hungry by the end. He couldn't sleep though because I think he was just overwhelmed with everything. He didn't want anyone to touch his head for a while but after a few days he was ok with us looking at it. He was also so calm the whole time which surprised all the doctors. I hated seeing him hurt but I was so glad he was alright.

bike rides

We've been loving this nice weather and have gone on lots of bike/car rides. Dan is loving his bike rides and Liam has been following around on his lightening McQueen car. Liam is getting big for it but he's still loving it.

We have a hill by our apartment and they love going down the hill. Dan is getting good at balancing and steering. Liam is quite the dare devil and pushes himself down the hill and puts his feet up and likes to go super fast. It so cute!

date night

We had grandma visiting so Mike and I got to go out on a date while the boys played with grandma!

We went to the Bellagio to see the conservatory display. Its the year of the pig so its all decorated to show that. Its a fun display.

We also wandered around Caesars and saw all the Peter Lik art galleries which were amazing! Then we got ice cream!

outside fun

We finally had a sunny warm day this week and we took advantage of it by spending a lot of time outside! While dan was at school I took Liam over to Aunt Stacey's so he could play outside with all his toys. He had so much fun being able to run around and throw things and kick things. He played t-ball, soccer, basketball and dragged the lawn mower around the yard for a long time! I love that its finally nice outside and we can go outside again :)
