Andrew was sick again with pneumonia, poor guy! 

 

 The kids love the park these days; we have been every day! They love to hang on the swings.

 Found a fun new nature center. They had all sorts of turtles and snakes the kids had fun looking at.

Andrew likes to tell me he is like spiderman when he climbs haha

 Andrew can now ride his bike all by himself. Evie sits on the back and he drives them around; it's so cute!

Evie's hair now fits in a ponytail! Getting longer. It doesn't stay contained for long though.

Evie loves to sing. She learns songs so fast! She especially loves to sing in the bathtub haha. It is so crazy she can sing a whole song and Andrew was only saying a few words at her age.

Dancing to Dora

Brandon is finally done with all his interviews. We ended up ranking the top 5 as Temple Texas, Hershey Pennsylvania, 2 Orlando ones , and  Lubbock Texas. We find out on March 20th where we will be matched to. So hard to wait so long! The baby is due March 20th too so hopefully I start dilating a little early so we can have the baby before then.

Brandon started rotations again at the hospital. He is doing heart surgery rotation right now and really likes it. He has to drive a long ways every day though so that has been harder. He also got really sick this weekend so we had a crazy first week back at real life. The kids have been very sweet and we have had a lot of fun together this week. Evie has even started sharing with Andrew which she never does! So that has helped with the fighting; they are becoming great friends :)

Sea World!

 Sea World!

We watched the Shamu whale show. The kids really liked it for about 10 minutes and then wanted to leave haha. It was a pretty cool show. They had a lot of killer whales doing jumps and tricks. 

 

 There was a super fun kid ride area. Andrew got to go on all the rides. He wanted to go over and over again; it was his favorite part. The roller coaster was his very favorite. He got to ride it at least 20 times. There were no lines and it was perfect! Evie hated any ride we put her on. She would immediately cling to my leg and lay in my lap and not move again until it was over. She definitely liked the animal exhibits much better than any rides.

 Andrew loved to give hugs to the animal characters. He wouldn't stop hugging the dolphin haha

Andrew loved the carrousel and Evie laughed for the first 10 seconds and then was scared haha.  

 Evie's favorite "ride" was a slide. She at least could enjoy that one. It was the slowest slide in the history of slides so that suited her just fine.

 They even wrestled down the slide

 

 

 

 To see the penguin exhibit you had to go through a short ride through a cave with a movie about a penguin. Evie once again was scared to death and Andrew had a blast. They both liked seeing the penguins at the end at least. It was freezing in there though! Andrew thought it was fun when the penguins splashed him; they were jumping and swimming all over.

 Evie got so tired and took a little nap

 She wasn't so sure of the weird animals, haha.

 Daddy was a good sport and went with Andrew a ton of times on the whale roller coaster. Andrew would have gone a hundred times if we would have let him.

 They got balloons at Publix from a nice lady

Andrew and Evie sure got spoiled this week! Andrew had the time of his life at Sea World and Evie loved it too. Her favorite was the shark tunnel. It had a slow moving walkway underneath a lot of huge sharks. We stayed overnight at a hotel nearby. They were both a lot better than I had expected. They were pretty worn out from the busy day so they fell asleep pretty fast watching shows in their beds. Evie woke up at 5 am but besides that it was great :) We went the next day to sea world again until about 2 and then drove home while they napped in the car. It was a super fun family trip. We got season passes so we will get to go a few more times in the next couple months. 

Andrew sure has been a sweetheart. I was cold one morning at the hotel and he went and found his blanket and gave it to me so I could be warm; it was so sweet! He also worries about Evie a lot. She throws a lot of fits over things and he tries to help give her what she wants and asks her if she is ok; it is pretty cute how he takes care of her.

rest of December/Christmas

 The blow up bed is still a favorite for crawling around on

 Andrew and Evie love to wrestle. They wrestle pretty hard and just laugh the whole time! Evie is really good at clinging on and getting Andrew in a head lock. If Evie ever touches andrew when not wrestling he cries but during wrestle time they both take the roughness and love it.

 

 

 Andrew's foot completely on her face! And she dosen't care, she gets out fast

Frosting cookies for Christmas

 Andrew was so excited for Christmas! Brandon's family came down for Christmas so that made it even more exciting for Andrew. He opened everyone's presents, haha. He loved it and got way too spoiled!

 Evie got some pretty bracelets and she just loved them. It is so funny how she loves anything girly; she is just a cute little princess.

 After Christmas Andrew got hives everywhere! The poor guy was so itchy. Both Evie and Andrew had colds and the virus then gave Andrew hives too. Pretty horrible! At least family was here to help him feel better.

 Preschool Space

 We got Andrew a little tennis racquet to try out. The weather has been so nice and I am dying to teach him so we thought it would be a good time to try it out. He had a hard time hitting it off the bounce but got it a few times and at least had a good time trying. We will have to work on it more; he makes a really cute tennis player! Evie also had fun chasing all the balls. She would run so fast after them, haha; it was pretty funny.

We are still trying to potty train Andrew. We got him a bunch of new fun underwear but Evie was the one who wanted to wear it. She wanted every single pair of underwear on haha. She had about 8 or so on at once! 

Andrew and Evie sure love to play dress up!
