Sea World

This past week Grancy and Pops took us all to Sea World for spring break!!  We had a great time and conquered every bit of Sea World over two days! Let's just say this pregnant mamma is still recovering!!!  Jude's highlights would consist of playing with his cousins which he highly looks up to, watching the dolphins, watching the fun shows (if this boy is still, then you know its good!), playing with his Shamu bubble gun, and eating twizzlers  from Na-na (he keeps asking me for "red candy")!  Thanks Grancy and Pops for spoiling us with a great vacation!!

To say they were obsessed with the bubble guns is an understatement! 

Couldn't figure out why he couldn't touch the fish 

Ready to take on the day! Started with jackets, ended with shorts!

He climbed all the way up and was so proud!

Waiting in line to ride Big Bird's ride

His slight side hug to Cookie Monster!!  

Watching the dolphins - his favorite!

Watching the dolphin show...he was still the WHOLE TIME!!!

Taking a break from the fish to play!

The best we could get!!!

I can always get a good smile from this guy!!

Bubbles at the fountain 

My handsome boys - Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Daddy got to take a turn riding this time!

And he's off!!

Tripper with Big Bird and Elmo - Jude decided to keep his distance!

It was finally warm enough for the water!!

Mia enjoying Uncle Sammy's birthday cupcake 

Switching seats with Mia really paid off for him!!!

On our way home we stopped at the Wildlife Ranch outside of San Antonio.

Everyone loved petting the goats; esp the baby goats!

Checking out all of the animals and throwing out food to try to get them to come closer!  

2 Years - February

-I'm pretty sure all Jude thinks about is sports most of the time.  He now has specific "basketball shoes", "golf'n pants", and "tennis shirt".  Mamma better keep those clean!!

-When he sees older children playing together he always asks about the "kids", like he is older than them.  

-When it was icy and snowing, Jude made sure mommy was driving safe.  "ohhh icy, don't slip mamma" or "don't break your car mamma"!

-As you will see below, we started potty training this month.  He is doing great!!  At first when we would hear him toot, we would ask if he needed to go poo poo on the potty, and he started saying, "No, its just gas!!!" I have no idea where he got that!

-When we pull up to our house, he always says, "There's mamma's house". Like I am the only one that lives there. 

-I was trying on a dress the other day, and came into the room he was playing, he stopped what he was doing, looked up and said "Ohhhh, pretty mamma".  I thought it was so sweet!  

Watching the turtles with daddy

Bye Bye duckies!!  He gets so excited when they eat the bread he throws them!

Happy Valentine's Day!!  

We had some heart pancakes (which he asks for all the time now) and then headed to his party at school (AKA: Sugar feast)

Helping Daddy sand baby sister's new dresser

With all of the snow and cold weather this month, we did a lot of new activities inside.  This day we made cookies!!  He is always such a good helper in the kitchen!  

 Cheering for LoLo at her basketball game

Biggest thing of the month - Potty Training!!!!

He has done so well, such a big boy!

Potty Training boot camp - Day 1

(hard floors and naked all day)

Boot Camp Day 3 - first day in undies!!

(Mommy was sick in bed, so daddy took over day 3 - such a champ!)

And now this is a regular occurrence!! Who needs clothes!

Like I said, who needs clothes!

We finally gave in, and he now gets a sucker for going poo poo in the potty.

 Ethan got to join in on the fun one day!

 Snow day!!!  The first time he has really seen snow falling!

 Building Frosty with Daddy

 A little snow is not going to keep this guy from playing baseball!

Another inside snow day activity

And, another inside snow day activity!  

He loved playing in the snow until his hands got too cold!

Frosty!!!  

It finally warmed up and we headed to the baseball fields!  He seems to be taking after daddy with some pretty good baseball skills!!!
