We went down a row of the field and once we got to the end we picked a pretty good decent amount of strawberries to buy and take home and eat- YUMMY! Eli had a great time doing this -- and in the midst of it all -- Zacary woke up and enjoyed holding a strawverry and seeing all the strawberries we picked as well :] Eli would see strawberries and say "BIG STRAWBERRY" and pick them with me and then he would hold them up and say "Mommy -- STRAAAAAWBERRIES!!!" He had a great time and loved it!!! It was so cute watching him enjoy this too :]
We ended up buying only $4 of strawberries but still have a lot left haha! We froze some and ate some -- as a matter of fact when we got home and I washed them -- Eli ate 10 and Zacary had some mushy mushed up strawberries as well! They love strawberries!!! :] This was so so fun and I want to definitely go back to pick peaches when they have those too- I know Eli and Zacary will enjoy it like they did this time around -- and then in the fall we will hafta go pick us some punkins ;] LOVE MY SWEET LIL MEN SO MUCH <3<3

2nd on the list - "Diploma!" The boys and I went to a "Mommy and Me" class every week since March 1, 2011 and the class was for 2 and 3 year olds that pretty much was like a lil learning class for toddlers and their Mommy's got to stay and have fun too! Zacary also came along with us b/c the lady did not mind at all he was with us -- and he even enjoyed it too!!! He loved hearing the music we would sing and all the activities that were set up for the 2 and 3 year olds!! The class was called Puddle Jumpers! The kids learned a different color or shape every week and then at the end of the class got a baggy with their art work in it from the previous week and a lil toy! One week they got a rubber ducky, one week sidewalk chalk, one week a fireman hat, a fish, water paint- etc. The kids would start out by getting their name tag, putting their shoes in a cubby with their Mommy's shoes too, go into a room and play with all these different toys or read books, then the teacher would come in and sing different songs, read a story, have the kids listen and follow directions with the help from their Mommys, and play songs with rhythm sticks etc. She would also have a basket full of different objects that went along with the week (like one week she had a basket full of items that were the shape of a circle since that was the topic of the week!) Eli loved this class so much and it was so so good for him! He always did wonderful and would just sit on my lap while Zacary was in a sling on my lap too and he would just listen so good and have a great time with me and the class! Zacary also did so so good too- was always in a great mood and never got sad once... he's such a greaaaat baby! I got so many compliments and it made me one proud Mommy :]:] LOVE my sweet babies!!!
The teacher also had a room full of different sports to play -- basketball, row row row your boat, hopscotch, balance beam, slide, playin catch with sticky mits, etc. Eli loved going into this room and playing basketball of course! He would yell "MOMMY SLAM DUNK" hahahahaha! Whenever the teacher would do the signal to change rooms she would blow a train whistle and Eli always thought a train was outside and would get so excited and yell "TRAIN!!!" He's so so precious! The last room we went into was to do a craft, eat a small snack, and then play in the sandbox for a bit, play with bubbles, play with a parachute, then walk under a "rainbow bridge" which was the parachute held up as a bridge to walk under with Mommy and brother :] Eli now calls the bridge at the park swing set a "rainbow bridge" haha awww! He would always get so tickled to walk under the "rainbow bridge" during this class and sing the song along with everyong :] Eli loved doing every step of this class and pulled Mommy and brother with him everywhere he went and it was so so adorable and fun!!! I loved going every week -- it was fun for him and fun for Zacary and I too -- I just love love those Mommy and Me classes ... they are wonderful and it's so fun to watch every second of your children growing and learning!!! I wouldn't trade one single thing in the world for it! Here is Eli with his "diploma" for the Mommy and Me class that ended last Thursday... the teacher called his name and he went up and got it and ran with a huge smile on his face back to me!!! It was so cute and made me teary eyed!!!! I am so proud of you mr Mr Eli -- you do wonderful and are such a great lil boy!!! We will be going back to this class when Zacary is 2! It will be so fun to see him go through this too and understand it a bit more then he does now! :] Eli also can do a numbers Mommy and Me class once he is close to 4 and we will most likely be going to that one too -- soooo good for their learning skills and is so much fun :] I am beyond proud of my lil boys so so much- they make me smile allll the time and are the best lil boys ever!!!! <3

3rd on the list (once again I have a novel on my hands with my posts-- shocker huh!?) I get to writing and can't stop!!! AHHHHH I could go on and on all day hahaha! Last weekend we went to Toy Story on Ice that my sister-in-law Molly and her husband Aaron got the 4 of us for Christmas! It was SO MUCH FUN! Seeing a show like that on ice was amazing and so unreal the people were able to wear their big costumes that looked just like the characters on Toy Story and skate soooo good!!! Eli and Zacary were both all eyes GLUED to the ice! It was such a good show -- the people would not allow cameras so I wasn't able to get any pics but we all had a great time! The show was 2 hours with one break and that was kinda too long for lil kids but the boys held on and did so good and loved it! Eli now gets out his toy story characters and replays the show to me -- haha such a good memory he has! So fun to go and we went to Buffalo Wild Wings afterwards which is Noah's fave!!! :] Thank you so much Molly and Aaron! We had a great time and it was seriously the best lil kids' show I have ever been to!!!!
That's all for now my friends... that's all! Haha! Well let me add one more thing -- we decided to go swimmin a bit today out in the baby pool :] The water was a bit cold since it was a last minute plan thing to do but it did not phase Eli haha! Zacary didn't like it but he did love watching Eli "just keep swimmin" like we kept saying and then Eli would laugh and say "OHHHH Dory!" Hahaha! I got some cute cute pics too -- Eli is such a lil fishy and Zacary loves the bath and liked swimming the weekend at the hotel so I know this Summer at the pool will be so fun! The pool opens innnnn 13 days woot :] Love my babies so much -- I know I say that so much but I can't ever say it enough hehe! They make this Mommy's heart so darn happy and being a Mommy is absolutely WONDERFUL <3
