Tumbling Class

Mommy was lucky enough to get to take Drew to his last tumbling class- love cycle break! We had a good morning and there were only a few kids there so we had plenty of room to run around. We started with the normal stretches and exercises and then it was time for all the obstacle course pieces to come out. The teacher helped Drew do a few forward rolls over the big mats, but his favorite part was the spiky balls!

Working hard

Papa came to play later in the day. Nothing better than taking balls from the ball pit and putting them into Mommy's cooking stuff!

Grandma, Great Grandma Rosie, & Great Grandpa Tom came over to bake cookies for the Cookiefest 2009! We started before Drew's nap so he could help out a little bit. Just another one of my wonderful plans that sounds so much better in my head than it turns out! Drew was a trooper helping me make the cakes for cakeballs. Grandma started making some chocolate chip cookies and Drew was obsessed with the mixer. He didn't always turn it on at the right time, causing a flour mess a couple times...but he had a great time! Grandma let him roll some cookies in sprinkles, but Drew wasn't happy that he had to let them bake before he could eat them. Sometimes it's hard being 2! We baked ALL DAY LONG and then Papa, Uncle Brad, and Amanda came over for a Chili Dinner. What a fun day!

Oh Christmas Tree

Drew & Daddy worked together to put the tree up and get the lights on so Mommy could hang ornaments. Drew was really into the lights, but wanted to wear them instead of putting them on the tree. What good helpers I have!

Tunnel Time

Grandma & Papa gave Drew the Mambo Combo for his birthday. It has a huge clubhouse, a tent, and two tunnels that connect. It takes up the ENTIRE loft if we get out all the pieces. Tonight we decided to put the clubhouse and tunnels together. We'll save the tent for a different day! Drew had a great time running in and out crawling all over. He even convinced Daddy to go through it a few times with him. The only bad part was explaining why he couldn't spend the night in his new clubhouse!

Silly Spoons

Papa & Grandma were over for dinner and Drew thought he was pretty funny with his spoon on his head. What a great trick to teach a 2 year-old!

Drew's favorite part!

Jeff & I had the morning off, so we were able to take Drew to a Tumbling Class at the Renaud Center. It was very cute. Lucky for Drew Grandma has agreed to take him while we're working. The best part is Gracie & Ella are in the same class with him. Drew is a lucky little man!

Childrens' Zoo

We took a family trip to the Zoo since we were lucky enough to get Breckyn for the weekend. Everyone had a great time on the carousel- so great we had to ride it several times in a row. Breckyn cracked us up as she walked through the monkey house holding her nose! Papa packed a picnic lunch for everyone and we ate by the lake. Grandma found the perfect little penguin for Breckyn at Puffin Cove and she was thrilled that Grandma bought it for her. It was such a fun day!
