Museum Birthday

There is a wonderful museum in Raleigh called Marbles. We went for Knox's birthday and had a blast. The dress up and pretend play was especially cool for the toddlers. We were a little scared about letting him in the hockey rink with a stick, but he actually kept the stick down, scored a few goals, and didn't injure anyone. Levi even got in on the action when we played on the pirate ship. Here's a few pics of the fun we had.

Preschool- first and last

My sweet boy is done with his first year of preschool. I can't believe it. Notice in the pictures that, although he is older, the mischievousness is still there.

Knox's 3rd Birthday

We celebrated Knox's 3rd Birthday this past weekend. He has been planning his baseball birthday party for the past six months. To say he likes baseball is an understatement. We play EVERY day.
We had a few friends for a cookout at the park. The kids played on the playground and also had their own ball game going on in the field. Knox was especially excited about the Little League players that were playing in the fields that day. We couldn't keep him near the party because he wanted to be right where the "big boys" were playing. Every time we looked up, he was over with his glove trying to play catch with the Little League players. The highlight of the day came as we were packing up and he ran over to say goodbye to the baseball players. They gave him high fives and you wouldn't believe how his face lit up. That was the best birthday present he'd gotten all day. So cute!

The Zoo

We went to the NC zoo a couple weekends ago and although it was very tiring, we had a good time with the boys. Most of the animals were sleeping so I think Knox's favorite part was chasing some girls around a tree. Maybe the merry go round and train ride too. Levi took all his naps on the go and seemed to enjoy being outside for the day.

Durham Bulls Game

We braved the cold front and the chance of rain when we went to a Durham Bulls game Sunday night. Knox brought his glove and was so excited... until we entered the stadium. The loud organ music and announcer voice scared him immediately and he was shaking on my lap for the first 20 minutes. After I explained everything to him and we clapped and sang a little, he was all about it. He had popcorn and fried dough for dinner and Levi took a little nap on Ty. Knox was able to run the bases at the end and that was definitely the highlight of the night.

The Harding hat looks like a little swimmers cap when he's naked.

The boys enjoy riding next to each other on walks.

For my birthday, a friend delivered balloons. One happened to fly up to the ceiling and the picture below shows Knox's attempts to rescue it ( notice the baby chair was not quite tall enough).
