I love my boys....

Museum Fun

Todd had some work to do around the house today so I decided to take they boys to the Children's Museum for the morning. They really had a great time!

Lazy Days

Believe it or not my cat spent 8 hours curled up in this plastic bag the other day!!!! What a nut! She crawled in here as soon as I put the bag on the bed around 9:30 in the morning and didn't come out till well after dinner!

Gavin and Mommy spend an afternoon at the zoo

With Cole still in school Wednesday and Thursday are Gavin and my days to hang out together. The weather is finally warming up so we headed out to the zoo last Wed. Gavin had a great time visiting all his "zoo friends" as he likes to call them!

Mother's Day 2009

All of us looking fabulous Mother's Day 2009

The day started off with a wonderful breakfast in bed, which according to Todd was "all the boy's idea" and the one thing they were really adamant they do for me! They served it on a tray complete with a bouquet of bright, spring flowers. Each of the boys made cards for me detailing why I 'rock" as a mom! Cole had made a heart shaped pin and cook book at school and Gavin had made a small foam photo frame you hang on the fridge.

We spent the AM playing and then the boys took me to a champagne brunch around noon that had plenty of lunch type items on the buffett as well. It was truly delicious!

Gavin's school had an Ice Cream Social/Art Fair and put on a small concert to show us what the kids have been learning with their new music instructor. Here is a small clip (1 min 30 sec) from their performance last night, Gavin and his school mates are singing "Love Grows."

GAME ON!

This past weekend was a big gaming weekend for us. On Saturday Cole FINALLY got to play in his first soccer game of the season. (I unfortunately had to work 7a -730p and missed it!) Last weekend due to weather both days of games were cancelled and the weekend before he was out of town on spring break. His team, the Bobcats won 4-1. It was a nice relief to have everyone healthy and doing well since Cole, Gavin and myself had all come down with a 24 hour stomach virus earlier in the week!

On Sunday, we took the kids, along with my friend Desiree and her daughter Julia to the Brewer Game. We watched the Brewers beat the Dbacks 4-3. Cole got to see back to back home-runs in the bottom of the first, one hit by his favorite player Prince Fielder. He also got to see baseball great Trevor Hoffman close the game out for The Crew! It was his first time hearing "Hells Bells" (they played the whole song!) and he rocked it out like a true blue Brew Crew fan! Gavin got a little ancy in the 7th, so I took him to play at the Kid Zone but we returned in time to see newcomer Duffy hit Hardy in to score the game winning run and of course see Hoffman close the game. After the game ended the kids were able to run the bases at Miller Park. Here is the link if you want to check it out. www.brewers.com/fanfoto Once on the site go to: Sunday May 3rd vs ARI and then Gallery 46. Gavin is DCS_0102 and Cole is DSC_0093.

Cole looks on, enjoying the game.
