days go by...

Ha!

Thats about all I can say.

Another year is nearly flown completely past!

I think I have managed to post just barely more than once each season this year.

Oh well, what are ya gonna do about it?!

I have taken lots of pictures though- thats worth something right?

Lets be honest, we all know I wont really be playing catch up for the entire year I have missed in the blog department.

So, here are some of my fav pictures to show that we have been busy living, and loving life.

Because I loaded these in the wrong order (and dont want to take the time to move them around) they are in order from most recent then going back....

Our little man turned TWO

We had a Mickey Mouse Party- or as he says Micka Mowse

(like he had a mouth full of marbles)

Did you see the pumpkins? Enough said there...if you talked to Chris at all this summer you know what Im talkin about.

We went to the fair. It was a beautiful night, and was very fun to walk around looking at all the crazy people that are at the fair. animals, and rides. Christopher LOVED the animals. I had my first funnel cake. yum....

Daddy Chris had a birthday!

We planted a garden. As you know - the pumpkins grew!

I have SOOO many pictures, and lots of scrapbooking and journaling that I need to get busy doing. Lets see if I do more blogging in this coming year. lol.

So...till then folks- Happy Holidays!

Yep. He's a boy.

He likes to get dirty.

Mud puddles are one of his favorite things.

I took some groceries into the house- giving him a 15 second window of opportunity.

He took it, and had lots of fun.

and then got a second bath that day!

5 Years!

We celebrated our FIFTH ANNIVERSARY this year. I can believe how fast time flies by. Thanksfor the past 5 years Chris, I cant wait to see what the next 5 bring!

Happy Anniversary Chris! I love you!

p.s. what file are the wedding pictures in on this computer?

I have missed my blog.....

We have been busy with working, playing and wondering how time flies to fast!

Christopher has decided to start saying cheese when he sees the camera. Cute? Yes! but kinda makes him smile funny. lol He has been talking like crazy lately and its had a laughing continually when he parrots things we say.

Merry-Go-Round

They rode the carousel. Little Christopher loved it!  

$1.50 well spent. 

2 play dates in ONE week!

We got to have 2 playdates in 1 week! Wednesday we got to meet Christopher's newest friends Ella and Lynie at the Sandy Aquarium. We had never been there before, but since it was raining we decided it was a great day to check it out. The kids LOVED it. Christopher ran around and around. Quickly realized I should have left the stroller in the car! He went back and forth between fish tanks saying Mama-- "ook feeish" - or in other words MaMa look fish! He LOVED the penguins, but couldnt figure out if they were "feeish" or birds. So he just kept asking Fish? Birds? Fish? Birds? Mama--ook fish? and was kind of concerned that the birds were swimming. It was cute. 

After the aquarium we went to good old McDonalds for some nuggets and fries. While I carried our food to a table Christopher followed the other kids from the playdate into the playland (he has never been in one before, because they gross me out! lol) and had so much fun. 

Here is a picture of him when he first climbed inside-He was SO proud of himself! The picture is a bit blurry since it was taken from outside the plastic window thing. 

Then he got brave and decided to climb higher. That fun ended with me getting to climb up to get him because he didnt dare climb down. I was not sure who I felt more sorry for. Him- he was stuck and scared, or me- I had to climb inside the plastic germ farm

to get him! Just kidding! Seriously though.....

No Apology

Hi! I wont be apologizing for not posting...I think that due to the continual lack of posting I am about the only one that reads this blog anyway. lol. So, I will not be apologizing, just moving on with posts- obviously just from time to time (with lots of time in between) haha. 

Here we are mid April. I figure its time for a post. We have been staying as busy as can be. Having lots of fun along the way.  Guess what? I even have pictures for this post. I know- its amazing. I am actually doing a real post for a change. 

Me and my little guy! Of course he wasn't looking at the camera.

I swear its impossible to get a picture of him looking. 

He was very busy playing with the blocks. I sure do love my little buddy. 

so what have we been up to?...

This week Christopher and I got to go on a play date to the Gateway Childrens Museum with some friends. We had so much fun! Then we had lunch at the food court before we headed home for a MUCH needed nap time after playing really hard.

Christopher had lots of fun driving the cars. He was in his own little world making car sounds while he turned the wheel. 

It was also TONS of fun playing in the neat sandbox that was filled with ground up cork. 

You would have thought I was killing him when I pulled him out of it to go get lunch. He would have sat in there all day long!

Thanks girls (and thanks to your little boys) for the fun day! We need to play more often. It was fun to get out together! Love you both!
