1. A few weekends ago now there was an impromptu meeting of Shultz' at my parents house! Bobby and Valeria were in town while Bobby prepares to go back to India for work, Ron stopped by on his way to and from the beach, and Marleen hitched a ride with him and stayed to visit with us for the week. The one day that they were all there for, we went to the National's game. I bought the 8 tickets just hours before the game, and ended up with the best seats in the house! (For someone bringing two kids anyways!) We actually ended up getting the row of handicap seats, and it was amazing. Close to the park entrance, with movable chairs and fenced in space for the kids to run around! I didn't have to tell Tyler not to pull anyone's hair the entire game! It was amazing. Timmy finally agreed to take a picture with Uncle Gecko too (It's Joe)!
Tim was out of town for the weekend, visiting his cousin and doing lots of fishing.
2. My mom and I have been talking about meeting for lunch at Reston Town Center and letting the kids play in the fountain for two years. With their move imminent, we finally managed to make it happen last week. The boys loved it. Tyler spent more time pointing at the shoots of water then playing in it, but they both had a great time. Timmy is in the neon green shirt, Tyler in the white.
3. Timmy went to another fun birthday party last weekend, for Henry, at Frying Pan Park. The kids got to meet a few animals up close before going on a hay ride and playing in the lawn for a while. They really enjoyed getting to see their preschool friends and all had a blast!
4. My birthday was last week, as I turned 31 I realized that I had been able to drink legally for 10 years, and looking forward 10 years, that Timmy would be preparing to start high school! This does not seem proportionate, and I hope that the next decade goes a lot slower then the last! To celebrate my birthday this year we went on a double date with the Miller's to a concert at a winery, had dinner with my family, and on my actual birthday we went to dinner with the boys where I got to open my beautiful gifts (Tiffany's wrapped in Coach!) and then went swimming for a while before going home for a surprise teeny tiny cake.
5. Last weekend we had shave ice at a children's event Saturday morning so my parents brought the boys for us. Timmy is the biggest fan of our shave ice!
Later in the afternoon the boys and I went to see Ice Age with my parents. Tyler's first movie theater experience was to see Brave, which he slept through 80% of before my arm was so dead that I had to move him, then he happily watched the end. This time, he was perfectly content, eating popcorn like a big shot, all the way through... the previews. Then he wanted to climb the stairs, so I took him out of the theater about 10 minutes into the movie! Luckily they gave me a refund for my ticket, and Tyler and I wandered around the theater until the sun cooled off enough for us to venture outside to another fountain.
