Quote of the day

On our way home from T-ball practice tonight, Easton noticed the flower he had picked for me had wilted...he got sad for a moment and then stated "Mommy, I don't want to pick flowers for you anymore because flowers die...from now on I am going to pick you sticks, cuz sticks don't die"

There you have it~

Saturday's & this morning...

Saturday's have gotten busier this summer but typically Easton & I sleep in then decide what Mom is going to make for breakfast! This past weekend we had no plans due to bad weather, so this is what a typical Saturday looks like for us...



If you build it...they will come


"Hi Mom! C'mon in!"


"Look, I got my Hotwheels!"


"what's that...I hear sumpin..."


"I am hungry Mom..."


Playing is hard work...time for some home made waffles!!



Now, to THIS morning...Easton often has me get his clothes in the morning, but this morning, as I was getting ready, he decided to get himself ready...it was taking him longer than normal. I decided to utilize the time and finish getting ready. I went looking for him when I was done and this is what I found...




He is so silly, and I love that he is MY silly little man!

PS. If you are wondering...yes, I let him go to daycare this way. :)

T-Ball! GO ROYALS!

And so it begins...my life as a Mom to a little athlete. I wouldn't have it any other way, we are having so much fun!! Starting T-ball out at 4 may be a bit premature, but if he's having fun and so am I , well, then why not! His team is made up of great kid's with super parents! (Thank you God) I know it won't always be like this so I will enjoy it while I can!





My Little Lefty!

"Flowers" for Mom...

One day my son will realize that dandelions are weeds, but for now, I will accept them as a token of his love for his Mommy. :)

 

Speaking of flowers...this is a beautiful flower from my friend Melissa's garden.
Just beautiful!
 

Sweet Dreams

Easton & I had a pretty rough ending to our evening because he was exhausted...so to walk in and see his sweet Angelic face makes all of the hard stuff worth it.

 
 
Sweet dreams baby boy...your Mama loves you more than you will ever know.

Visiting my Dad

Easton & I had a pretty relaxing day, (until about 20 minutes ago) I cleaned house, he played, then we made chocolate chip cookies and took a bunch to my Dad and some to Miss Martha. My Dad ate 5 while we were sitting there!

He was moved to a more longterm room this past week. I was able to bring him the flat screen TV my brother bought him, and he has a recliner. It all seems to have made him more settled. He even gained some weight these past 2 weeks. Phew!

I want to get as many pictures as I can of Easton and his Grandpa Rod so he will always have them! That is DEFINITELY something I wish I had more of myself! My Dad's dad was gone before I was born, and My Mom's Dad died when I was a teenager.

 

Aren't they so darned cute?!
 

I keep finding photo's of my Dad from WAY back in the Day, he is so handsome!!


The ones of my Mom are just precious, she was so amazing!

Hiking with the Hardesty's

We have had some bizarre weather, not completely unusual in CO, but man, I am really ready for summer! Anyhoo, Friday night Easton received in the mail a pair of binoculars from a dear friend BJ, she has ordered a magazine for Easton called "In Your Backyard" a magazine geared towards younger kiddo's from the Ranger Rick series...part of the subscription were these binoculars, and boy was he excited!! THANKS BEEJ!!!! So, back to Friday night...I thought, if the weather is descent tomorrow, perhaps we could go hiking?!?! I called my friend Esther and she & her boys thought that would be fun, and it was!! We headed out to Castlewood Canyon, had lunch and sure enough, HIKED! Easton & the boys did great! This was Easton's 2nd official hiking trip. I think this will be a new fun past time for he & I!


"I see you!"



"Three little monkey's sittin on a log..."


Apparently trail markers are known as "ducks"...who knew?!
