Spring Break Baby!

We have had such a fun week - even without some of our usual activities going on.  The time change has thrown Jillian off a bit, but since it's Spring Break and it's been gorgeous out - we didn't mind having her up a bit later than normal.

The first weekend of SB was just perfect outside.  Saturday Jeff took Jillian to the Arboretum for a daddy/daughter outing.  We seriously spent almost every waking minute outside playing, doing yard work, and of course playing with the kids next door.  Braden and Haley have quickly become some of Jillian's favorite people.  And I think they would say the same.  Braden came over Saturday and asked if Jillian could come out and play.  How sweet is that?  Haley babysits for us, and do I ever love having her next door!  They keep Jillian entertained for hours on end.  It's so fun.  Some things they have introduced her to are sidewalk chalk (now a favorite) and their trampoline.  I made Jeff get on the tramp with them (since I'm certainly WAY to big to).  She had so much fun jumping and running around.

Kisses for one of their dogs.

Every time we head outside, Jill beelines for Haley and Braden's house.  Hoping they'll be outside playing.  She seriously can spend hours with them.

Monday we didn't have MDO so we met up with a bunch of friends at the zoo and spent almost 3 hours there.  GASP!  That's A LOT of walking around for a big prego lady.  My legs ached the rest of the day!  Here are a couple cute pics of Jillian with some of her friends.  They loved the jeep at the cheetah exhibit.  Of course they all took turns driving.  Jillian and Sam.

Tuesday we has Kindermusik class as usual, ran errands, and played outside.

Wednesday I worked, which means Jillian ALWAYS loves Wednesdays! It's a fun-filled day with Bama!

Thursday Lindsey invited 6 other mama's and their little ones from our Sunday school class to her house for lunch and then frozen yogurt.  YUM!  We had so much fun!  Thanks for the invite Lindsey!
All the kids ran around like wild kids on a sugar high, playing with every single toy of Walker's.   After 2.5 hours of crazy fun with her friends, Jill CRASHED during her nap.  None of the pictures of the kids playing are worth posting... so hard to take cute pics of crazy toddlers running around!  However, Jillian LOVED sweet baby Ellis (the youngest one there).  She got down and did Tummy Time with her.   She also kept wanting to pat her head and hands.  I'm taking it as a good sign that Jillian will dote on her baby brother.

How sweet is Ellis?!  All smiles, happy as can be!

Friday we were supposed to have a playdate with Kristen and her twins, but they were sick and had to cancel.  Boooo!  We have seriously been trying to get together for a couple months, but one of us has been sick!    So instead we went shopping all morning for Spring clothes and to get a few things for our beach trip in a few weeks!  We can't wait to take a little family vacation, enjoy the sun, and teach Jillian how to build sand castles.

This week we've also busted out the hose for Jillian to play in.  We are lovin' this warm weather!
She LOVES to water all the plants!
