someone obviously thought the mantel was lacking some flair...

first day of first grade

Happy Birthday Allison!

I think I've told the story on my blog before, but I can't find it in all my blog posts. So, when my friends and I made 8th grade cheerleader, my mom got us a cookie cake to celebrate. She told the lady to write "Way to go, girls!" on it...what we got was "Wait-a-Go! Girls". My mom thought it was so funny that she kept it instead of telling the lady to fix it. We obviously still think it's funny 17 years later...Happy Birthday, friend!!

rock on

girl time

I get it now.

I finally understand what people mean when they say their son is "all boy". Blake is 10.5 months old now, and he has been climbing up the stairs in our house since he was 7 months old. He eats whatever he can find on the floor, and today I actually found him eating popcorn out of the trashcan in the playroom. He doesn't cry much when he gets hurt, which unfortunately is quite often. I already have to clean up after him, and the boy is already eating me out of house and home! He ate a scrambled egg for breakfast one day last week, and two pancakes another day. He is happiest when he has a bottle or food in his hand. He is curious and cute and cuddly. He is my sweet little man, but boy is he a handful!

Too fast!

Aubrey's face pretty much sums up how I feel about this summer...it has passed waaay too quickly! I have lots to discuss, but I'm tired.
I'm tired because this is what I have to control on a daily basis...
Have an awesome weekend!
