Week 8 - Happy Birthday over and over again. OH and Spring Break fun :)

As we left last weeks blog we had celebrated Greysen's birthday with the grandparents.  Well then Tuesday, his actual birthday comes around and we had to celebrate it by doing what he wanted to do.  His POD was the Childrens Museum, but we added on a few extra sights.  So you will find pics of the museum and the "Tower of the Americas."  Not only did we hit up the museum once, but we went again after lunch at the Buckhorn Saloon, or something of that nature.  It was great.  The boys had a wonderful time, along with the rest of San Antonio who was on Spring Break.

Yes this is Jacob actually looking over the side, big move for him!!!!

So since we played hard all day this is how it ended.  Wow was it ever the most peaceful time of the day!!!

And while he was out I decided to take a few pics of the flowers we planted around the house.  I love them. I am so excited to have the deck done, more flowers added and just being able to enjoy the peacefulness of the deck.  It was the best addition ever!!!

Wednesday Greysen got to celebrate his birthday again with his classmates. He took them some cupcakes and had a little party.  Then Thursday rolled around and it was time for the big 4 YEAR CHECKUP!!!  He did great and passed with flying colors.  Even with his mis-shaped head.  Here he is waiting for the doctor to come :)

It was then time for his shots.  I sat behind him and held his arms (and closed my eyes of course).  Do you know what he did!!!!  The kid watched as he got the shots, didn't move one millimeter, and didn't cry one tear.  He was such a champ!!!!!   Im so proud of my big man :)  For today anyways :)

So we headed to get some gas and yes I have a helper for that as well

Then I took the boys and Gma B to San Marcos glass bottom boat thing.  Ya its on a lake and I wasnt sure how cool it would be but it was a great day.  The boys loved the boat, running around, and looking at the fish and turtles.  And NO we did not see the swimming pig.  Long story short I guess there used to be one, but not anymore.  humpppphhhh  owell.  Here are some pics of the wonderful day we had.

 Greysen holding the tickets :)  He is ready to board!!!!!

 A cute little turtle.  There were so many of them.  And can you believe how clear the water is, this is not just a regular ol lake!!!

 These are the natural springs at the bottom of the lake.  there are tons of these.  They said if the lake was drained it would refill in 8 hours.  Thats it!!!  Well in case you are wondering the bubbly sand stuff is the natural springs. and the yellow thing is a flower.

 G took a pic of J and I.  I believe he might be a natural photographer.  He took trillions of pics.  But this on turned out pretty good if I say so myself :)

I think Gma B is squeezing his brain.  She has a look of frustration.  I wonder why anyone would have such a feeling when it comes to G.hmmmmmm

 

Oh wait, now they are ok.  Guess he cooperated.  :)  

So that day ended with another nap from the little man.  I sure did wear him out!!! 

Then it was onto Friday.  Yes another Friday.  Why I say that you ask.  Well its swimming lesson day.  And I didnt bring my camera as I was sure he would just cry, why would I want to take more pics of him crying and clinging onto the teacher.  Well he didnt.  I was fooled.  He wasnt super happy, but luckily Love To Swim rewards kids who had a birthday, yes another celebration of birthday, and he was given a rubber ducky.  It saved him.  He played with it the whole time.  Walked along the wall with his hands.  Shot under the water trying to fetch some balls.  Ya not quite crying like I thought he would, so I am for sure bringing the camera this next Friday. 

So since he did so well, we went to McDonalds for lunch.  Then later I took G, J and Ty (the neighbor) to PUMP IT UP!!!!  the inflatable wonderland.  They had a great time.  Here they are going down a slide together.



There were only a few large raspberries given by the plastic slides.  Mostly on J.  But it was fun. 

The weekend came and first we had to find out about soccer.  Of course neither child had a coach.  It just never fails.  However luckily someone stepped up for both teams so the kids can play.  BUT G isnt so into it yet.  He did kick the ball into the goal a few times but then it started to sprinkle, so my big man is now a wimpy big man.  So no more soccer for him.  Hopefully he will warm up to it like he has almost done with  swimming.  Then it was time to plant some more.  Oh ya and of course I needed help.  So here we are planting our tomatos.

 We then had another birthday party, with friends this time. However it turned out smaller then planned.  So I believe we will have to eat hamburgers and hotdogs the rest of the week.  But G loves his balloons and is so thankful Ty and  Brennan (who stayed only for a bit) and their mom came over to help celebrate.  G ate a hamburger, hotdog, tomatos, watermelon, and cucumbers.  Yes all of it.  Then he ate 2 cupcakes.  This time it was pink (strawberry) cake with white frosting.  He is so manly!!!!

We then played in the bath with our new goggles.  They have yet to be submurged into the water but at least he puts them on :)

 Oh and this is he birthday duck from Love to Swim

So quite honestly this is probably the best week we have had so far.  It ended with the greatest thing ever, skyping with Dad.  We have missed you so much that we cant even stand it.  Seeing you today was so wonderful, I didnt want to hang up!!!  You look great and we are happy you are doing well.  I hope to add more good weeks to come.  Till next week, we love you and stay safe!!!!
