We had a pretty busy weekend followed by a week full of "things".
Our weekend started with the Free Fair Parade! Joshua and Nate got to participate by walking with the float for the Heart Beat Music Studio where Joshua takes drum lessons. I think they had a lot of fun :-)
Sunday:
Fair Day! We always attend the fair one day and this year it was determined by the fact that Joshua was scheduled to play drums on Sunday Afternoon. The school where he takes his lessons was providing the music Sunday afternoon and he was the one drummer chosen to play. It was pretty cool!
Of course, after the performance, it was time for rides! This is one of Nate's favorite rides! It goes super fast and he has a blast!
Another favorite ride is the Airplane. Both guys enjoy this one!
This is an annual tradition - the photo before the Ferris Wheel ride :-) The three of them go on it every single year at the fair :-)
They are in the pink car :-)
Another favorite "ride" are the Bumper Cars. They both love them and it is fun to watch them smash into each other! This was taken while in line - Josh hiding his face HA!
I think this is Nate's favorite ride ever and it was finally working this year! (The last two years it was not working the day we were at the fair). He is in the very back seat and it goes SUPER high!. He rode it twice back to back and I think could have ridden it more!
The animals are a great part of the fair - but we never spend much time because we save it until the end and we are all so tired! My mom made a friend though!
On Monday I had to run some errands. I treated myself to a Biggby drink thanks to my Mother's Day gift from Nate - a gift card! It was super yummy on a very hot day!
On Tuesday, Nate and I headed to Grand Rapids for his twice yearly visit with his pulmonologist. Part of the fun is walking across the bridge that connects his doctor's office with the Children's Hospital. It has an amazing view of downtown. (And his lungs/asthma are doing well!)
On Wednesday I treated my guys to Taco Bell. Our friends are here this week so it was nice to be able to do something special with just us. A few years ago, Joshua and Nate challenged my brother, Kelly, to a hot sauce challenge. They brought him all the levels of hot sauce from Taco Bell which he promptly ate like they were candy HA! Well, they tried the "Fire Sauce" again today and it did not end well LOL
We have a big project going on here this week! Nate is moving into his own room. We started on Monday with moving stuff out of his room, then did some big furniture moves on Tuesday before finally moving his bed in on Wednesday. He spent a lot of time the rest of the week organizing and cleaning things out. To say he's excited to have his own room is an understatement! Joshua is also enjoying his own space (but no pictures yet as we have work to do in there !)
The final room! Nate just loves his space so much!
One last photo! I saw this while out and about earlier this week and had to snap a photo. I sing this to Josh almost every morning :-) It is "our" song.
