While the kids were at school a few us piled in the car and headed up to Waco to explore the Children's Museum. I had not been there before. It was pretty cool. Spencer loved the big train exhibit they had and all the buttons that could be pushed.
Spencer loved playing bus driver, fireman, and cowboy. There were lots of rooms perfect for him to explore!

School Time Catch Up
A lot of things are going to be out of order. As mentioned in previous posts this blog has been neglected for a long time. Somehow this pregnancy has wiped the energy and any sort of motivation out of me. I finally feel like I can start to sit down and catch up.
This school year we found 2 Fluhman's heading off to school!

Lego Party
This year I told Isaac he could finally have a "friend" party. So the Saturday right after his birthday we threw a little party. The ward we are in has a plethora of little 4 -5 year old boys. Just with the boys in his CTR4 class (which there are 2) there was well over 10. So needless to say we had ample little boys to invite.
I kept asking Isaac what kind of party he wanted. It changed daily....Angry Birds, Hot Wheels, Super Hero...but we finally settled on Legos. I was pretty happy. I was sure that with some help from my best friend pinterest, I too could throw a legit Lego party.

Birthday Bubba
It doesn't seem like 5 years ago, that this little man joined our family. His adorable dimple, his big brown eyes, and his contagious smile. Nothing but LOVE for this little guy.
Friday we celebrated Isaac. We played at the splash pad with friends all morning and waited patiently at home for dad in the evening. Dad brought pizza, a movie, and the green light to FINALLY open presents. Isaac was so patient. Isaac said he wanted superhero legos. And legos & superhero's is what he got.
- Isaac is getting ready to start kindergarten in just a few weeks. He is pumped...I am scared.
- Isaac loves Superman
- He LOVES to play Lego's with his dad
- He stills calls McDonald's "Old McDonald's" every time we pass it
- Instead of finger he says "thinger" and poor Natali corrects him each and every time
- He will lick the ranch off his plate if there is any left over
- He follows Natali around everywhere and plays with her
- Just about 3 weeks ago he gained a roommate, Spencer
- He is developing a love of soccer and is excited to play this fall
Summer Swimming
Once we got back from Utah we started up swim lessons. Thankfully I had been able to get all three kids in different classes at the same time. Spencer was not a huge fan at first. He squawked at the teacher every time she came near him, bless her heart. He slowly warmed up to the idea and eventually would do his "superman kicks". Isaac and Natali both really improved this year with their classes. Natali is still a little apprehensive of the deep end...and Isaac is a little to confident for my liking!

Happy 7 Natali
We were SO lucky to have Grace with us. She is seriously one of the BEST cousins and the best helper. We got to steal her for a few days to stay with us. She was such a big help! YAY Grace. Natali thought it was pretty cool that Grace got to sleep over for her birthday.
This year Natali was really into Hello Kitty stuff. She even picked to have Hello Kitty cupcakes.
We opened presents and ate breakfast. Per the birthday girls request, chocolate donuts from Dick's...seriously some of the best chocolate donuts EVER! Later that day we went up to Aunt Em's house to have a pizza/water party with the cousins. By the end of the day I think she felt pretty special.
Thanksgiving Point with Friends
While in Utah we always try to take full advantage and see as many friends as possible. We aren't always successful, but this trip we were able to make it down south to spend some time with Jamie and the kids. We met up at the Dinosaur Museum. The kids had fun running around, seeing the dinosaurs, playing in the water and sand, and touching all the hands on exhibits. I tried to get them to slow down and really make it an experience (again...there is 4ht grade teacher...I actually took my students to this museum every year). But even at their quick pace they LOVED every second. (Except the part where Isaac feel backwards during the picture with the shark and gave himself a golf ball size goose egg on the back of his head)
After the museum we went over to the main building and grabbed some cold sodas and ice cream for the kids. They quickly ate and then headed out side to play with the water fountain thingy.
