Lil Mountain Climber

Well my little mountain Climber finally had his first fall! I guess I've been lucky that he hasn't seriously hurt himself what with everything he climbs. Yesterday he was climbing up the computer desk and fell, I'm guessing by where his war wounds are that he fell and hit his ribs where the keyboard is and then his back on the chair that is in front of the desk. I thought that maybe he had learned his lesson, but he got right back up there!

Puddle Jumping

I thought these were really cute, it just made me think of when I was a kid and played in puddles and got all yucky. Ohh the joys of being small and not having a single care in the world....like trying to figure out how to get nasty muddy puddle water out of your kids clothes :)

Monticello Riverfest

We took the kids to yet another little fair here in town, and this time they got to go to the petting zoo and have pony rides! Abby was in baby animal heaven! Shawn didn't really like the pony rides; but hey it was his first time, and even those mini horses can seem HUGE when your just a little guy!

My little Picasso

I love my little buddy, but Shawn has become a challenge for me. I guess I always knew that boys are different from girls for all the obvious reasons; anatomy, etc. But Shawn is a handful! Abby was a very cautious baby/toddler which I was thankful for, Shawn on the other hand is into and on top of everything. Literally. He climbs the bathroom counters to get into my makeup, he gets on the kitchen table, and now he how found his inner artist. I'm glad that he is artistic, I think it's a great talent, just not when it's on my walls....or fridge, or TV, or door. But hey, maybe Picasso's mom had the same problem?

WALL.E

The kids have been dying to see WALL.E for months. Well since they started showing the previews anyways :) Matt finally had a weekend off, so today we surprised the kids and took them to go and see the beloved little robot. I knew Abby would be great and hold still, but I was surprised at how well Shawn did, he actually sat there and stared at the screen for most of the movie and and pointed and said "Wa-wee!" That's Shawn talk for WALL.E. It was really cute! For anyone who hasn't seen the movie yet I give it an A!

Turkey Hunting

One of Matts latest hobbies has been turkey hunting with his bow and Abby, being the daddy's girl she is, has been begging and begging Matt to take her along, so Matt went out and bought Abby her own bow and arrow set, and then set up a special Daddy Daughter Turkey Hunt! They didn't see any turkeys but the memories they made will last forever!
