Fun In The Sun

On Sunday we went to John and Janice's for brunch after church. They have a beautiful yard and we were able to eat on the patio before the winds started. Kaiden had a great time playing with different toys.

Mom even got in on the fun

As well as Dad

I Wonder

Kaiden is fascinated with my Shark and my broom. He finds them and drags them around the house. I wonder if he will be this fascinated when he is old enough to clean with them?

He moves so quickly it is hard to focus on him.

My New Favorite Photo

A Walk With Kaiden

Last Saturday after supper, Kaiden and I walked to the mailbox. The mailbox is 2 houses down from us and just around the curve you see in this picture of Kaiden and Nathan walking. When we got back we were asked if we took the long way or maybe went around the entire block. We didn't, but walking with a 15 month old is an adventure. This is what we did...

• The kids next door were outside, so we stopped and see them.
• Their dog was outside, so we stopped and see her.
• We stopped to feel the grass (several times).
• We stopped to pick up a rock.
• We stopped to see the bunny in the yard next door.
• We followed the bunny across the grass.
• We arrived at the mail box.
• We picked up our mail.
• We stopped to see the bunny.
• We followed the bunny until it went under a bush.
• We stopped to waive bye-bye to a passing car.
• We stopped to feel the grass.
• We stopped to touch the tree.
• We stopped to waive bye-bye to another car.
• It was a very busy walk.
  

Tita

My mother-in-law was here the last ten days. We had so much fun, but took very few pictures. With her first born

and her great grandson.

She went back to California today and we miss her!

I Can't Believe It!!

It certainly didn't look like this around here this morning. We had about 3 inches of snow and expect more tonight. I am hoping we will have warm weather after this storm. This corner is near my office and I think it is so pretty. I just love tulips.

I had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend and didn't take a single picture. I can't believe I did that. I do have wonderful images in my heart.

My mother-in-law came in on Friday for a visit. It is so good to have her here and see that she is doing so well after loosing her dear Johnny last October.

The kids all came on Saturday for dinner.

Kaiden had his first haircut - he looks so cute.

Kaiden loves to push things and really liked helping Tita pushing her walker around the house.

He also loves to push or drag my Shark (carpet sweeper) around the house.

We went to a birthday party Friday night for our friend's son who was in town from Florida. Nathan and he grew up together. It was so good to see some on the other kids that grew up together (most of them have kids of their own now).

Our friends live in the country and have chickens. Kaiden loved them. He called them Icca. Their cat's name is Ricca and he calls all animals Icca.

Nathan, Stacy and Kaiden brought me an orchid corsage to church on Sunday morning.

After church John and Janice came over for brunch.

I worked in the yard in the afternoon, but didn't plant flowers because of the prediction for snow today. I usually don't plant them until the end of May. I have had to go out too many times to cover them.

I can't believe I didn't take pictures!

I'm the Mom

This is so much fun. I actually saw her do this at a Women of Faith weekend in Denver. They brought an oxygen tank onto the stage and told her they were betting on whether she would be able to get through this in the thin mile high air.

Enjoy!
