Baltimore

After Sesame Place we drove to Baltimore for the weekend.  On Saturday afternoon we went to an Oriole's game.  Landon did pretty good, we stayed through the 7th inning stretch and probably watched around 4 of the innings.  Landon liked the kids play area.

After the game we walked down to the harbor to get some ice cream

On Sunday we visited the National Aquarium.

We headed for home Monday morning and made it home in time to go to the pool (it was opening weekend).  Tomorrow, (Friday) is Kelsey's first day back at school since having Keegan.  She only has 5 days before summer vacation.  Other big news, last Wednesday before we left for Philly,  Keegan rolled over from his back to his stomach.  Now every time he's on his back he instantly flips right over.

Sesame Place (Day 2)

We all got to visit Sesame Place again today.  It was a perfect day.  A little overcast but still warm in the morning.  After lunch it was sunny and 80 so Landon and I did a few water slides (he loved them), then the clouds came back around dinner time for the last few rides and the parade.  We had a great time!  I got to be a "Dancing Daddy Dude" again, and since Landon has the dance memorized from last year, he went up and did it too.  Landon also got picked again to go out and dance in the parade.  There were too many good pictures to post them all, so here's a slideshow from today.

Sesame Place

Yes, that's right.  We are back at Sesame Place, it was Keegan's 1st visit.  I had to come to Philly for work today (Thursday) so we drove instead of me flying out for the day.  Kelsey, Landon & Keegan got to go use our season passes for the 1st time this year at Sesame Place, and we are all going back tomorrow.  We had a trip planned to Baltimore this weekend so we canceled our flights and will drive there Saturday morning and go to the National Aquarium and an Oriole's game before driving home on Monday.  We didn't tell Landon about the change in plans and just told him we had a surprise for him once we got to the hotel.  He was so excited when he found out that he got to go to Sesame Place for a couple days.  Here's a few pictures Kelsey took today.

On the Sesame steps

Since I didn't go today Landon had to ride by himself while Kelsey stayed with Keegan.  He did a great job!

Happy Birthday Matt!!

Yesterday was Matt's Birthday, he is now 29!!  On Friday, Landon helped me make his birthday cake.  We made a regular chocolate cake, but added mint chocolate chips and put it in two pans.  We made a chocolate cream layer to go between the two cakes.  The frosting we made was buttercream, but we made it chocolate mint flavored.  To top it off, we crushed up mint oreos!  Can you tell that Matt's favorite flavor is mint?   Landon was a great helper.  Here are a few pics of him helping make the cake and helping Daddy blow out the candles.  

Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day.  My boys were wonderful to me!  My day started with Matt and Landon driving a half hour to get me gourmet donuts for breakfast while Keegan and I slept in. The donuts were amazing!  Some of the kinds we had were:  maple bacon, chocolate peanut butter, chocolate cream, vanilla creme, chocolate strawberry and banana cream pie.  We sampled little bits of all of them and they were fabulous.  My favorite was of course the chocolate peanut butter!!  Here is a pic of some of the donuts.

After breakfast, we headed to church and then out to lunch at Brio.  Another amazing meal!  Here are a few pics of me with my awesome boys!

I had another surprise after dinner that night.  Matt and Landon made me chocolate covered strawberries and oreos.  Some were dipped in chocolate, some in chocolate peanut butter, some in white chocolate, some in white chocolate peanut butter and some with oreos on top of that.  They were also delicious.  I'm pretty sure I gained weight on Sunday and gave Keegan basically sugar milk to drink!  Here is a pic of the dessert.

Thank you so much Matt, Landon and Keegan for a wonderful Mother's Day!  You guys are the best and I am so proud and honored to be Landon and Keegan's mommy.  Being a mother is by far the greatest thing in life.  I am so blessed and lucky to have two wonderful, sweet, healthy, happy and perfect boys.  I don't remember what my life was like before them and can't imagine life now without them.  What a great family!!! Thank you again boys (all 3 of you)!

Playground World

Last week we headed back to Playground World for a little bit.  They have free play every Monday and Thursday from 11-12, which is really nice.  Landon had a great time playing, climbing, swinging, sliding, etc. that you will see in all the pictures.  What a fun time!

Keegan had fun watching his big brother play too.  He was all smiles when he woke up!
