Training Them Up: April 2011

It's been a while since I last wrote. There has been a lot going on in the Akre home it feels like! We just got back from spending a week at my parents house in Topeka, KS. Previous to that, Grace had came down with RSV so it was kinda crazy around here.

Thank God she got over it fairly quick and no hospital visit was necessary.

Anyway, the trip was nice. We could have used a little better weather, it snowed once, and rained most of the rest. Generally when we travel out to Topeka over spring break, its gorgeous springtime weather, so that was a little disappointing. But our last day the weather broke a little and we were able to hit the zoo! It's not a trip to Topeka without the zoo! I love that zoo!! :)

The trip was a reminder of one year earlier when I found out I was having a girl, on March 31st! My Mom, Adam, Austin and myself went to a little ultrasound place outside of Kansas City so we could find out what I was having! Adam was the only one that said girl! :)

I was almost 18 weeks pregnant here! <3

We of course had to hit up Tad's Hawaiian Shave Ice while there. It is seriously the best! We were the first customers of the year, as they open on April 1st. We were there waiting! LOL

Here are some more pictures from the trip.

Okay, the following pictures are from Adam's birthday! Now, let me explain these first....my Mom and I had the idea to get Adam skinny jeans as a joke for his birthday. This idea was born after talking about how all the people from a concert we went to (men) were wearing either skinny jeans or jeggings. None of us could really believe it, it was pretty funny. Anyway, we were talking about how funny it would be if Adam wore jeggings!! So, here you have it!! We let him know it was a joke after he came back out with them on and announced "they were too small" It was quite hilarious and something I won't soon forget!! He was so gracious though when he opened that package and saw "skinny" jeans!!
