Cheese Crisps

Thomas absolutely LOVES cheese crisps (definitely my child).  :-)  On the day this picture was taken, he had already had 2 slices with his lunch, but when Randy was eating a piece he tried to take a bite of it at the same time.  It was hilarious!

5 Year Anniversary

What can I say, I am the luckiest woman in the world to be married to this guy.  :-)

I love you babe.  Happy 5 year anniversary!

Mother's Day

 Words can not express how lucky and blessed I feel not only to be a mother, but to have this little boy as my son.  He is a true blessing and my heart is absolutely full with this unconditional love that only a mother could understand.  I am also so grateful to have such wonderful women in my life to love and mentor me.  Honestly without their love I don't think that I would be half the mother I am today.  As for my hubby, thank you for always seeing the good in me and giving me the most amazing gift in the world, becoming a mother.

Happy Mother's Day

Storytime

Thomas and I have been going to the baby storytime at the library.  They sing, dance, play instruments and read with the babies.  Thomas's first time was so fun, he was in absolute awe of all the babies and the lady in the front of the class being silly.  After storytime we go to the children's area and play with the toys and other babies.  He loves it!  It is a 30 minute drive for us (the libraries close to us don't allow you to 'drop in'), but 100% worth it to see his little face light up.  We will be registering next week for the storytime close to us that starts in June.  :-)  

Mommy ends up putting a lot of books back on the shelf

Tea, Sandwiches and Fun!

Last weekend Karen has us ladies and boys over for tea, sandwiches and playtime.  She had quite the spread of yummy food and Thomas had plenty of toys to play with.  I would say the power wheels (above) was one of his favorites.  

Which one do I want to play with next?

Vroom Vroom

We went to Karen and Brodie's house for a tea party & picnic this afternoon and look what Thomas got to ride.  Look closely, he didn't sit down on it, he was standing and probably could have drove by himself, but we thought for the first time a spotter would be a good idea.  On our way home Thomas told me that he would love a power wheels toy for his birthday.  :-)

Pictures will be coming soon

Happy Birthday Precious!!

She is 6 years old today (42 doggie years)

She celebrated her special day by waking us up at 4:15am, staying home all by herself for 4 hours, a visit from Bela and topped it off with a frosty paw.

More dairy please

This boy LOVES yogurt, cottage cheese, yogurt melts (thanks Aunt Judy for introducing) and shredded cheese.  Of course he also loves his carbs (toast, grilled cheese sandwiches, puffs, mum mums, waffle wheels, lil' crunchies, arrowroot cookies and now cheerios.  Randy isn't too excited about the 2 huge boxes I got him from Sam's Club.  He likes his sugary cereals.  Sorry babe!  :-)
