Gotta love dads...

Came home a couple of weeks ago from work and this is what I found.

His response: I thought the buttons went in the front.

I love my husband!

Crawling!

So, Thomas is now off and running. It's hilarious to watch him go. He spent about 2 weeks up on his knees rocking back and forth and squirming enough to get where he wanted to be. Well, the jig was up on Saturday night. He got the whole coordination thing down and took off like a rocket. My life is OVER! I put the baby gates up and pray that he won't find anything that I've overlooked. Yeah, right! On his crawling expeditions, he has found the dog food bowl. Luckily it wasn't the water dish he decided to pick up and fling around. I heard a metal clang and Chewy growling. I rushed into the kitchen (I was on a quick potty break) to find Thomas swinging the bowl around while sitting in a little pile of Chewy's dry food, while she growled at him thinking that he was going to eat it! I had to laugh. Too cute.

He has also found the doorstop to the front closet. It entertains him quite nicely. My mother in law thinks it would be the hit of the family Christmas program to let him play a little twangy tune on the doorstop. That means I have seven months to help him memorize the Hallelujah Chorus... How about I just stick to making sure the dog bowls are out of reach.

Start Seeing Motorcycles...

Kevin went with the motor squad on the MDA ride out to Wendover. He got to wear his motor uniform for the first time too. He got be in the front of the pack heading out. He said it was the coolest thing and had a great time.



On another note, Kevin has wanted his own motorcycle for a long time now, and I finally got fed up with hearing him moan about it. So, Happy Father's Day Sweetheart! It's a Honda something or other and he loves it. He spends most of his free time polishing it. It's hilarious to see how meticulous he is with it. But then again, he is meticulous with everything. I'm glad that he is happy with his new bike.

In my own front yard

We had planted some bushes outside out front window last summer. We picked them because we liked the FEW maroon flowers they had. It was near the end of the season, and winter came before we knew it. They were pretty scraggly looking even up until a week ago. We were worried that they weren't going to make it. Today I get home from work and Holy Cow! You can hardly see any leaves for all the flowers on them! I also noticed that our miniature roses and our peonies were in bloom. It's crazy how they sneak up on you. One day they look like they're about to keel over, and the next it's like they exploded with life.

We also have a squirrel. Last fall we noticed a little hole by our front walk. I had finished picking up the mail and saw a squirrel race across the driveway from the neighbor's yard holding a acorn and DOVE into the hole. It was hilarious. He must have stored up enough acorns from the neighbor's oak tree, cause this spring, he's still here! Chewy growls at it through the blinds. (like she would know what to do with it if she caught it. It's practically the same size she is!) I was able to sneak a photo of it in between the blinds though. Isn't he cute?

I am under construction and for some reason the text won't change color, so just highlight it if you want to read it. Sorry!

A big shout out to Holly for fixing the problem with the text! Hooray, you can read my blog again! She has a cute website that you can choose cute backgrounds from such as the fabulous one I'm using now. http://notesfrommynest.blogspot.com/ Take a look!
