1st Time with Sparklers

And too bad I didn't snap a pic of the tantrum thrown after they were "all gone."

Randomness

Just for fun, some random pictures.....

Aaron showing off his elbow:

New favorite snack - carrot sticks and "dip" (Ranch). And we have to eat it just like this - like a little station, not in our silly highchair....
Working at the tool bench looks way cooler if you have your sunglasses on.

And if Daddy grills, so do I.

Also, no pics of this, but lots of pee pee on the potty the past few weeks. I honestly didn't really want to start this endeavor just yet, but he asks to go and likes to get candy for it so what can I do? We still have a long ways to go - he still doesn't get it fully so we're encouraging it as much as we can. It is more fun than I ever imagined, definitely the best part of parenthood. =) Hopefully you can detect sarcasm okay in typed words.

Funny pic from Mother's Day

For my non-facebook friends, this one's for you....

My cousin Kristin captured this moment of Aaron slipping on the slip and slide on Mother's Day and I've been encouraged to share it on the blog as well. Every time I look at his face in this I start laughing, and then feel a little guilty because he looks so terrified. But still - it's hilarious.

Happy Mother's Day!

I am a blessed Mom!

Favorite Things

New favorite book "Go Dog Go".... (Full of dogs, hats, and cars - it doesn't get any better than that)

New favorite hiding space....
Not sure why. But it's hilarious to see his little foot sticking out.
