Pre-birthday presents

We were headed to AZ for Thomas' Birthday. Since we were flying I wanted to leave the big presents home so he got to open and play with them before we left.

Circus etc

This goes back to my first trimester when I spent my afternoons in bed. My little boy would come check on me every time his show ended. I woke up after two hours and knew he must have fallen asleep. He wasn't in the basement so I was concerned. I went back up to the main level and he had fallen asleep under the thickest blanket we have. Poor little guy.
We got free tickets to the circus and Thomas was not even interested. During intermission he ran around the stadium and pretended to slide or fall. We found an elevator to ride so I figured whatever. We ended up in the backstage of the circus which was cool.


It is the first time that we have been in Kansas for spring. Every time Thomas saw one of these trees he said it had "purple bugs" instead of purple buds.

Family Fun Fair

They have a Family Fun Fair on base every year. There were lots of arts and crafts inside but Thomas was not interested. He liked the petting zoo. He loved the construction vehicles that they had set up to climb in. The winner would have to be getting to ride in the fire engine.

My Birthday

Thomas helped me open all my presents! What a good helper he is!

Jan & Feb

Blogger keeps changing the order of my pictures, whatever! Logan went to Maine and Hawaii in February. Thomas and I went to the zoo while he was gone. We also kept busy inside with a few new toys from the dollar store. Thomas enjoyed playing with the snow drifts that didn't have a chance to melt in our backyard. He got his shovel out of his sandbox and shoveled the snow from one side of the yard to the other. That is my kind of playing in the snow. Thomas always has fun helping Dad wash the car.

This should cool you off

These are out of order, oh well! There is a picture of Thomas at the window when the snow is starting to fall the day before. I was not super excited to go and play out in the snow. We finally went out in the afternoon. Thomas had fun but he was done after about a half an hour. I asked him the next day if he wanted to go out and play in the snow again and he said "no." I have to admit I was kinda happy about it. hehehe I also have to point out that I taught him to throw snowballs at the tree because I didn't want them thrown at me.

Daddy's Airplane

I try to take Thomas out as long as the weather permits. In the beginning of January Daddy was flying. We got a few pictures from our backyard while he doing pattern work.
