Last week I had Lindsay home for the entire week. She had a small staph infection under her one arm and the doctor suggested keeping her home for a week this time. So Trev and I (and with the help of our sitter, Jill) juggled watching her. We had such a great week with her. During my time, I realized that Lindsay loved having the one on one time with us, which she rarely gets. So, I decided to try to start doing some one on one things with the kids as a result.

The first thing I did was sign each of them up for separate classes at the Little Gym. They both had a great time. While Lindsay had her class, Tyler went on a bike ride with Trev to the park. And during Tyler's class, Lindsay stayed home to play with Trev.
Here are some pics from their classes.

Tyler LOVED his class. He said to me 'Mommy, I didn't have fun...I had SUPER fun'. LOL!

Tyler on the bars:

Lindsay's class was a Mommy & me class. She cried in the beginning as she hated the parachute part. But then warmed up!
On the beam:

Running around!

She loved hanging from the bars!

Catching Up

Haven't blogged in a few weeks! Here are some random pics to start to catch up!

Trev & Tyler before the opening Steelers game last week. Tyler was very excited!

Tyler found Trev's old BU batting helmet. Love this pic. Lindsay put it on backwards and then posed with this funny face herself!

Tyler loved walking around in the helmet with the bat.

Trev & Tyler before the PSU Game. Tyler loved wearing his first official Jersey!

Tyler's School Performance!

August Randoms

Last Thurs our development had another summer concert. This time it was an 80's cover band, The Reflex. We had a nice group that all went together from our block. The music was great and the crowd had a great time. However, this time Lindsay was a bit of a challenge, as she was exhausted. She ended up falling asleep in my arms, which doesn't happen often!

Tyler & Sophia enjoying the concert. They didn't sit still for too long. Most of the time they were running around!

Me trying my hardest to keep Lindsay entertained!

Trev & Rick:

Some of the Spice Bush girls...me, Roxanna, Shanna, Jen & Shanna's mom, Aleta:

Great turnout!

This pic cracked me up. We went to dinner on Sat night and Lindsay was playing peek a boo at the table with me :)

Lindsay making a mess with pizza one night. I had to take off her white tshirt so it didn't get ruined!

Lindsay & Tyler at the pool:

Awe, they LOVE going to the pool. On Sat Lindsay put one of my purses over her shoulder and said 'bye mama, I'll see you later...going to the pool'. :)

Hershey Park

This pic got out of sequence...Tyler & Trev on the tram at Hershey Park:

Last weekend we went up to Herhsey, PA to go to Hershey Park for the day and to visit my college roommate, Christine. The trip went very well. Kids were great in the car and on their best behavior at the park.

My, Christine & her new cutie, Ella:

Lindsay & Bryan were having a blast banging their cups on the table. They are a week apart in age.

Lindsay sitting on the deck with the girls eating chips & dip. One of her favs :)

Tyler on the pirate ship ride at Hershey:

Tyler on one of my favorites...the swings. It was his first time on the swings & he loved them!

The kids looking at fish. Tyler won that little monkey at a game and Lindsay clung to it the entire trip and now sleeps with it each night.

Their fav...skee ball!

Crowded Streets Concert

Last week Brambleton had another little Summer Concert. Crowded Streets played, which is a Dave Matthews cover band. It was a lot of fun. Kids had a blast as usual and this time several neighbors came along! It was a fun, hot night!

Tyler & his friend from school, Ainsley were excited about the beach balls:

Lindsay loves to cool off this way :)

Brad Paisley Concert

Trev and I love to go to concerts when we can. Last summer with moving, etc we didn't make it to any. Sat night the 2 of us went to see Brad Paisley and Dierks Bentley at Nissan Pavillian. We had awesome seats and it was an amazing concert. I may say one of the best I have been to, worth every penny! We were able to miss the rain and get out of the parking lot quickly, which we hear is rare there. Here are some pics below from our fun night :)

Trev & I before it started:

Opening act: Dierks Bentley..he was awesome! Didn't get many good shots of him since he didn't stand still often.

Brad!! He was amazing!!

More Brad...

The set was the best I have seen at a country concert. The show went on non stop. This shot shows how good our seats were:
