Training Mishap

Whenever Drew gets outside to play (which hasn't been very often the past few weeks with all the rain), but he has his little "routine".  Every time try and capture this routine of his, something happens.

Sometimes it's hard to train like Rocky....



(Did you notice he's wearing his "Rocky workout outfit"?)  On this particular day a week or so ago, every time I tried to get it on video he fell! We're talking like three times... which means strike three and we went back into the house.

Other times I've tried capturing it and then he gets sidetracked and doesn't follow-through. What he does across the yard is hilarious. I'll keep trying to get that on video...

In the meantime, here's another video I found on my phone of Drew "singing" through the workout part of the movie...

Recipe for a Bride

I've waited and waited for my sister to post to her own blog about her wedding shower, but alas the blushing bride-to-be has been a wee bit busy.  Because I can't wait anymore, I'll share with you the photos I have... before the batteries died.  So perhaps someday she'll update with the follow-up pictures.

The shower was a recipe theme - and was held at Mom and Dad's church in Antioch.

And that's about when my camera died.  It was a great time and I think Lisa had some wonderful memories - and gifts!

Sharing the Love

The other day I found the following art project in Drew's cubby at school:




I assume this is a Valentines Day project announcing all of his "loves".  I admit i found it very sweet that he included Mason and Troy - his best friends and Ms. Stephanie's boys (where he went to daycare and with whom he now goes to school).  But is anyone surprised like I was, not to see Rocky included in this "list"?

Rocky Run

Last night Drew was itching to get out of the house and go somewhere. I was itching to make-up the workout I missed by oversleeping. So we compromised. I went for a nice walk and Drew went for a run. A Rocky training run.

Drew happily waved at all the other people running/walking as well as everyone who drove by. He kept telling me he was training like Rocky. Oh and he was constantly asking where the steps were.

The run was about 19 minutes before 'lil Rocky had to go potty. Then he was sidetracked with the park - forgetting he needed to go... When it then came back to him. I ended up carrying him the remaining 10 minute walk back home.

Who's the Champ?

There's always a winner when it comes to the ring.  Who has the best moves.  Here in this video, Drew puts the moves on his nemesis... Spider-man.  So who is the champ?

Luck of the Wannabe Irish

On Saturday Daddy and Drew headed out to the local St Patrick's Day parade, for a special Daddy and Drew day.

From all reports it was a great afternoon.



Drew and Troy on the parade sidelines.





L-R: Baby M, Ms. Stephanie, Drew, Troy & Crazy Dave










So happy to show off his bling bling.

Wannabe Irishman.






After the parade everyone headed over to the carnival near the library.  This was their first ride!




L-R: Troy, Mason, Drew, and the strange girl.

And this picture doesn't do the ride justice, so Dave captured this video (I apologize for his narration):




Here Troy and Drew share a ride on the "spinner".  Notice how both Drew and Troy share their excitement differently?




And here's a video of that ride... Keep an eye on Mason - who is 2 cars behind Drew.



Every time Drew watches that video, he can't stop laughing!

PJ Party

It's another Parent's Night Out (PNO) at Drew's Preschool, so you know Mommy and Daddy are going to take advantage of it.

Here's a picture I forgot about from last month's festivities... okay this was at our house just before dropping him off at the school.  He's ready to party like a preschooler!

I love these PNO!
