Gavin's 2nd Birthday Party and Zoe's 2nd Baseball Game

Yesterday we had a very busy fun filled day. First we started of course with our walk :) a little relaxing and then after lunch we headed out to a park up north where Gavin celebrated his 2nd Birthday Party with a Dog Show. It was a great place and the weather was just AWESOME!!! Lots of people and of course I had to walk to the restrooms twice while being there :(... but, my super duper stroller goes through grass and park roads amazinlgy good so I had no problems at all and got in another few miles of walking.They put up this whole training course and let the dogs do their tricks. Zoe enjoyed it and was a great kid again :)
Then we got home, I tried for her to nap a little before we'd go off to our next adventure the ball park!!! Yes, it was time again for the company outing to the ballpark. The Detroit tigers played against the Arizona Diamonds and totally won. Zoe did sooooo great!!! Oh man... we have the best daughter ever. She was so busy opening and closing this empty bottle and pretending to drink out of it (like we always do) that kept her busy for quite some time. Then she took a nap in between and watched the rest of the game chillin' and enjoyed the fireworks as well. The bus ride was great too, as soon as the bus started moving she knew right away it's time to sit and be careful. It's pretty amazing. She loved being around so many people all day and showed off being a great kid :) *proud mommy*
Since we got home at midnight last night Zoe slept in quite a bit and unfortunately she was running a little temperature when she got up. We took it easy all day today, cuddled together on the couch, took a nice long nap after lunch and she went to bed a tiny bit earlier today hoping that she fever will be gone tomorrow when she wakes up.

It's so funny... I was just telling Frank: when adults get sick, they just want their peace and quiet... not being bothered... when kids get sick, they wanna be with you all day cuddling the sickness away. Isn't that interesting?

My Little Super Happy Girl

She's so much fun... sad you all miss her growing up :(... she's just one happy little kid. Running around, cracking up about birds and squirrels and playing with the ball, stacks her tupperware, wants food. Plays with her toys... it's just a huge joy to watch her.

Today's picture I dedicate to my mom... just saw an episode of '16 and pregnant' and her mom came flying in from another state after birth and she was so proud seeing her grandson for the first time... I know she sees us ;)Now it's time to prepare dinner because we'll have guests over tonight ;)...

Strawberry Picking

As you can see it wasn't as successful as you think ;). The other people around were way more interesting and one strawberry out of 'my picked basket' was enough for her *lol*. But we had fun and did something different.

Strawberry Picking

Today after taking my walk we went to a field nearby to pick some strawberries... first Zoe wasn't so sure what to do but she enjoyed herself and threw a fit when I wanted to leave. I only picked a few since we don't need THAT much, but enough that lasts us for a couple of days and so cheap and easy to access that I think I'll do this more often with her since I can only do little nearby things in the AM in order to not mess up our great schedule we have right now.

I'm soooo proud of myself getting so much done during the day with work and everything etc.! I tell you, if you're looking for a great organizer, hire a mom *lol*.Plus I seemed to be in really good shape *lol*... the other girls we went with were 'wow-ed' by me showing up being pregnant! They said when they were pregnant they didn't wanna do ANYTHING.

Well, all I can think of is this one commercial I think is totally true: 'A body at rest, stays in rest... a body in motion, stays in motion' :)

Here we go :)... finally I remembered in time. Belly is growing and growing and mommy is getting fitter and fitter *lol*Yesterday Zoe and I went to the mall. She had a blast in the kids area and enjoyed the company of all the kiddos:

Picture attack

Yes, that's right... I try to take more pics again since I noticed I barely take any *blame on me*... so here a full set of pics, enjoy:

Yesterday Zoe and I met with Kimberly and Kaitlyn at 'My Urban Toddler' an indoor play room for kiddos from young to ... and they had a blast. Specially because we were the only ones (the weather was just too nice).

Zoe and Kaitlyn playing in the kitchen:
Zoe is practicing having a sibling:
And off she goes:
Typing in some numbers, the money has to come in somehow:
*cling*
Henry on the floor... even though she put him there, she talked to him funny enough what he needs to do or whatever that was... I was cracking up:
Nope, can't lay on the floor, has to be back in the stroller:
and we take our walk again:
"No, he has to stay in the stroller"
"No, it's my brother... I get to stroll him around"
Needless to say, we had a GREAT GREAT time :). What a fun day yesterday... today I can't forget to take pics of our blooming house :).

Baby Pool

Yesterday I found this cool pool for Zoe that I bought and we invited Silke and Janos over today to test it out. Janos enjoyed it more than Zoe but they both enjoyed each others' company again a lot... these two Cuties are amazingly cute together :).skeptical look:
Janos busy playing in the pool
Zoe prefers posing *lol*

No Pics...

Well, I was so busy yesterday that I totally forgot to take a picture of Henry! We're at 23 weeks now I think and he's growing and growing. Did I tell you guys that when I was complaining last time about being so hungry what it actually was? Well, come to find out with the newsletter the next day that Henry apparently doubled his weight that week!!! No wonder...

I can also proudly tell you that I'm back in shape again... yesterday and today I walked my normal 3 miles again *YEAH*... and on top of that I did my pilates session yesterday night. Well, am I a fit pregnant mommy or what? ;) So proud of myself and continue my workout as long as my body lets me / and my toddler!!! Because it's getting tougher to keep her busy while just hanging out in her stroller for an hour ;).

Today we have 'Father's Day' in Germany and while I was updating myself on the blogs I read I fell over a new post from Sita on her blog which I loved. Check it out ;)... she actually handcrafted a gift for Dad with pics from us sisters and man I was shocked how good looking we all are but then also... how old we've gotten *lol*... such grown women!!! Well, I bet my Dad grew at least one cm taller when he got that gift and saw his four own creations smiling at him all grown up and happy ;).

Love you Daddy :), hope you had a great and relaxing Father's Day.
