10

What it means to have a son that turned 10 on Saturday:










1: It means that you are older than 30!!


2: It means that in less time than your son has been alive - he will be leaving for college.


3: It means that jr. high school is just around the corner.


4: and so is high school.


5: It means that your son still tells you about the girl that he likes but now he blushes when he says her name.

6: It means that instead of Thomas the tank engine, your son got a bow & arrow and a video game for his birthday.


7: It means that instead of a spiderman theme party your son watched an outdoor movie with his friends.

8: And instead of watching Thomas the tank engine they watched Inkheart.

9: It means that your son is growing up.

10: And it means that you are a lucky, lucky mom to have had so many wonderful fun filled years with such a good kid!!!

Happy Birthday Sam!!! Now this is your last one -- right? Promise??

A record

I wanted to post this so that I don't forget. We went to the Berry Ranch today and did "pick your own" and the air smelled like strawberries.

A day in may

My cute friend Wendy took these cute pictures. The cow in the picture with the wagon is real. I know this because his friend-- a Big Brown Bull charged at us while we were taking these. Scary.

PSA

This is a public service announcement to let you all know that my husband makes the most amazing pancakes you've ever smelled. So, if you find yourself in need of pancakes feel free to drop by.

Happy Summer!!!

Only- we all know that it was just two days before yesterday that we were saying hello to fall -so can it really be summer?? Oh yes it can! I know it is because this happened...

And this....

And that makes it official. It's summer. Well- Welcome, Welcome. Stay awhile why don't ya!

Happy Monday!!

Pretty Shoes

There are lots of things to love about an 18 month old. Talking and walking and new levels of comprehension. But the most fun of all is the emergence of the personality! Sophie has it in spades. She is already her own girl and she knows what she likes. What does she like? you ask. Well the answer is simple and (if you are a girly girl) easy to understand. Sophie likes shoes. She loves all types of shoes and can be found wearing the shoes of every single member of the family but she does show a preferance for the heels. I have to say that I am impressed that someone who is experiencing only her second summer EVER has already mastered walking long distances in princess platforms. She was also quick to master the "sh" consonant blend- making "shoes" one of the first five words to escape from those adorable lips. Now at 18 months her first two word sentence- "pretty shoes".
