Happy Birthday to my Favorite Four Year Old!!!

It's hard to believe that four years ago now I was in the hospital holding my brand new baby boy! Sappy, I know, but it really is sureal how fast time flies. My sweet little boy has given us so many laughs, so many giggles, so many adventures and so many memories. He's such a stud an I'm so grateful to be his Mommy! Justin had the day off today, so we got to have a really fun family day. We went to a local children's science center and the kids had a blast. Then we came home had had (at the request of the birthday boy) sloppy joes and twisted cheetos for dinner. It was so fun to be able to Celebrate T's birthday and we are looking forward to Grandma and Grandpa Y coming down this weekend for some more celebrating! :) Because my computer is loading very slowly, I will save the pictures until later...except this one. Cuz it's so darn cute!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE MAN!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Bug's Bullseye

yes, it's just a cute magnetic game...but still. You gotta hand it to her! :)

Bug Lost Her First Tooth!!!!!

Today our Netflix movie was delivered just in time for Family Movie Night. We watched "The Tooth Fairy". It was very appropriate considering Bug had her first loose tooth. Well, by the end of the movie, Bug was VERY motivated to get that tooth out. We wiggled it around and told her we would try again tomorrow. She wouldn't stand for that, so she went in the bathroom and wiggled it 'til it came out! That little tooth is tucked away safe under her pillow. I'm wondering what kind of image she has of "the tooth fairy" now. Too bad we don't have any hockey gear to dress up in. :)

Right after she pulled it out.

Visitors

The kids love to watch the squirrels that wander our yard and we occassionally put peanuts out for them. This morning when we were eating our pancake breakfast (Thanks Justin :D) we looked out the window and saw our little friends looking for some goodies on the deck. We threw a few out for them and then look out a few minutes later and this is what we saw:

Let me introduce you.

The one on the Right is Chubbs. The one on the left is Scout.

Scout stays in the tree starring at you. Chubbs is just chubby.

They just sat there waiting....and waiting...and waiting.

They would make quite the book ends, wouldn't you say?

Finally I broke down and gave them a few more cuz they were so cute.

The next time we looked out the window THIS is what we saw:

The word is spreading. :)

Next I'll try to get a picture of the Blue Jays.

There may be fierce competition for those peanuts.

Boots

The other day I came into my Bathroon to this. T decided to try on my boots. It was hilarious! Check it out! I love the monster PJ/boot combo! :)

Funny Story

Yesterday I overhear the kids playing in the TV room. My sister just got married and had to purge alot of her stuff, so we inherited her couch, among other things. It seems to be the cool place to play righ now, so the kids had some little toddler link toys and they were hanging them over the back of the couch. T decided they were going fishing. He kept saying things like "I'll be Uncle Roger and you go fishing and I'll come save you". Bug would "accidentally" drop something over the couch and say "HELP!!! UNCLE ROGER!!!! I DROPPED SOMETHING" and Heroic Uncle Roger would jump in, hold his breathe (puffed cheeks and all), swim around "under water" and find what ever Bug dropped. It was so random and so funny to watch. I got the camera to take a picture of them fishing and said "T, look at me for the picture". He got really annoyed with me and said "MY NAME IS UNCLE WOGER!". They sure love Uncle Roger. :)
