Baby Rock Star

I think Colton lives his hair style vicariously through his little brother. He thinks it's the best when Brett is sporting a baby-hawk....

First Game

The first game of the baseball season. What a riot! Each member of each team bats - no outs are counted. They get 5 pitches and if they don't get a hit...out comes the T. The kids had a GREAT time! We (Millside Tavern) ended up playing a team with one of Colton's daycare buddies on it.

According to Mike's parents, who were at the game, Colton looked like a mini-Mike out there. I wish I had a picture to post to compare the two!

Garage Sale

It's that time of year! I had so many baby things that no longer fit my little chow hound that I partnered up with a co-worker and my sister-in-law and away we went. How did it go? Well, we had great weather and some stiff competition with the "Highland Park" neighborhood. Was it worth all the work? I say yes, my husband says no....however, I forget what "work" he was involved with.

Happy Mother's Day

What a great day! I was able to sleep in...in fact, I got a whopping 10 hours of sleep, my boys took me out for breakfast, I had a massage at noon and had one of my favorite meals for dinner. Lovely!

The most special gift came from Colton. He had been hiding it and gave me strict instructions..."Mom, do not go in my desk drawer until after I tell you it's okay." Well, this morning, here's the gift I received:

After I looked at the coupons and read them aloud and told him that I just loved my gift, he replied "I hope I don't have to do #4." Have to give him credit for being honest!

Rainy Days....

Mike had to work all weekend which left the three of us trying to find things to do inside - thank you mother nature. After making cupcakes, playing play-dough, playing "men" (for those of you that don't know, this is when we gather up all the action figures and play) and Candyland, Brett and Colton thought it would be a good idea to lay around and play toys. What a great idea!

Milestones....

My little baby is ten months old! Now that he's healthy, he's eating like a mad man. The other day he ate 2 potstickers and rice, the next day he ate a BIG bowl of mac and cheese, 1/2 a banana and fish crackers, and tonight he ate shredded bbq chicken, baked beans and applesause. He at more than Colton!! I told Mike by the time the boys are teens, he's going to have to work overtime just to support our grocery bill. Wow.
