We started off May by having my sister come and live with us for 6 weeks to be Bladen's "nanny". Her and Tyler were moving to Indianapolis for the summer for Ty's job and since it's only 2 hrs away she figured she might as well stay with me since he'd be gone all the time.
We also celebrated my 27th birthday... oh how I hate getting old! 
I woke up to my house decorated and a warm breakfast of german pancakes :)
B gets soooo excited when there is any sort of celebration around.
B learning how to use the camera
After dinner at Minneci's, I came home to homemade cupcakes.
With the nice, warm weather finally here we had Taylor and Lauren over for a play date. Danielle, Lauren and Gwen showed up to our house first and when B and Lauren get together they are crazy. They were running around the house being out of control so I told them to run up to B's room to grab him some socks, next thing we know one of them is screaming bloody murder. I run up and Bladen had run into his room, jumped right onto his bed and hit his eye on the corner of the wood railing that keeps him from falling out. No worries though, it didn't stop him from having a good time at our neighborhood park with the girls.
It started raining during the middle of them playing so they took cover under the pine trees.
B's eye after his crash! 
Dude where are your real sunglasses 
My pretty lillies before the damn rabbits and squirrels ate them! 
Getting ready for the Dolphin Show
B got to feed the giraffe a sweet potato for $1
This is what I see in the mirror most mornings!
On our way to the Zoo, we happened to see the Children's Mueseumwe headed there on Day 2... little did we know it's the largest of it's kind in the US. It was really cool!
Must have to pee haha

Before leaving Indy, Ty took Bladen out fishing at their apartment complex with the new Batman fishing pole they bought B.
We then got Mother's Day started off early by having a Mother's Day Tea Party at Bladen's daycare. 
Ms. Liz invited Brandi to participate in the fun too!
Me and my "baby"
Getting ready to sing songs to us
I am so grateful for Bladen's school. He has been going to the same daycare since he was just 12 weeks old. We have loved all of this classes and his teachers and he has surprisingly loved every minute of it. I am already starting to freak out about him moving schools once we get settled in San Diego :( 
Brandi had Bladen on quite the schedule while she was in charge. Each week she had a different theme and in order to do something fun on Friday, they had a chart and each day during the week he had to have less than 3 marks to get his Fun Day.
That night we then took him to play minature golf for the 1st time.
He was a good shot for only being 3 and it being his 1st time.
The entire night all 3 of the adults were telling Bladen to stay away from the water or he was going to fall in. Well right after this picture we were all paying attention to whoever was golfing and next thing we knew Bladen had fallen off the bridge into the water... he screamed and bawled not because he was hurt but because it scared the living daylights out of him! Hmmm maybe he should listen to his parents :)
The 2nd week they learned about Nature and even took a fieldtrip to the Nature Center and went on a nature walk and caught different kinds of bugs.
The 3rd week they learned about space and these are the planets he made out of cookies
They had such a good time together I'm so glad my sister was able to come and stay with us for so long.
During space week, they made an Earth pinata.
We then invited the Matthew girls over help "crush" the Earth!
After the pinata, we headed over to Prairie Farms
We also did lots of shopping while my sister was here... imagine that!
Ready for a full day of shopping
B trying out his photography skills
Playing basketball and having Bladen be Tyler's little shadow
Had a picnic at the park
Sweated our butts off while Bladen played
B LOVES to swing!

So glad you finally updated. Your sister is so cute to do all of those fun things!! Before I had kids, I swore I'd be like that, not so much!!! Are you moving to San Diego???
Fun pictures! Looks like you guys have been having fun! Your sister should open a preschool! Such cute ideas!
Glad you had a great B-day! I can't believe we are almost in our 30's! What happened? How did it go by so fast? My mind still thinks it's 18 sometimes (just wish my body did)!!!
Glad your all doing well.
