1st baseball lesson

Wow, our first baseball lesson. Conan did pretty good. Missed the ball quite a bit but he gets the concept pretty well. Chris is a very patient teacher. I am having a girls weekend and they have big plans. They are going to put up the tent in the backyard and "camp out" I think it is totally precious. We took Conan to see Spiderman 3 last Sunday and he loved it! Granted he slept for a bout an hour but while he was awake he was pretty good. At one point during the movie after Spiderman saves the girl, Conan shouts during a quiet moment, "Mom Spiderman saved the girl!" that got a few chuckles along with the Arrr's Conan repeated during the previews to Pirates of the Caribbean. I think are movie days are upon us, which is a good thing seeing how we like us some movies!

.....away from home. This is where I spend my days.

Cherry Chip Memories

Conan and I made cupcakes the other night for his class. I REALLY like to bake, but I can't eat any of it so I have to make excuses and find places to get rid of it. Conan's school and my work are just perfect. The cupcakes were a hit and Conan has a request to make some more.

You can not buy cherry chips here in the south, oh no...believe me i have tried to find them. So my awesome aunt Vicky sends them to me every year at Christmas time. I do not get to see my aunts and uncles very often, or speak with them, but every time I open the cabinet and see the cherry chips I think of them.

I'll take an Island or two please!

After a day/week like this I could really spend some time in her home town.

This doll sits on one of my co-workers desk, so I took some pics of her.

Soccer tot from the side lines

Let me just set the stage for you. Its HOT, like 90 degrees. No shade. and we have been out in the heat for over an hour. Yes, my 2 year old has had enough and is begging to go home. In an attempt to entertain himself he starts playing with the soccer ball we brought for him. Chris is watching Taylor play, I have my camera out trying to get some decent shots and Conan is....well, not really sure until we turn around and he is scoring a goal for the 4 year old all girl team in pink! I yelp at Chris to grab him quick. Thank goodness it is just Rec ball or we would have had some serious crap thrown at us by some angry parents. In fact the exact opposite happened. He got cheered on, by the 4 year old team and the parents of Taylor's team.

Not that I am biased or anything but the kid did look pretty good making that goal! Anyway, here are some pics of one cranky, over heated, stubborn 2 year old.

Not really sure why I make him wear a hat because he always turns in around backwards.

Yes, picking a wedgie. Good times.

Petting Zoom!

We like to visit the local petting zoom, as Conan calls it. Saturday morning I got to spend alone time just with Conan. He has been asking me to take him for a month so we went. He thought he was in Heaven riding that horse and just like Tyrone from the Backyardigans says, Yip Yip Yeee hahhh he his hat off and waved it around.

When I can out of my bedroom the other morning this is what I found. (at least he has an imagination...right?)

1st place baby!

Taylor played her last season game on Saturday. The Lady Sharks took first place in their division. Not sure what we will do this fall. She plans on trying out for the high school team , so that may be what we do. It was really hot and Conan was less than impressed that we had to sit out there for 2 hours. Congrats TEC!

Number 4 runs in the family, Chris was number 4 all through high school.

Busy Boy!

He tried out for Danny in Grease. He didn't make it.

We are well on our way to being potty trained!! Double Yay!!!

Yeah, he really needs a hair cut, his Mama is too lazy.

Wedding weekend

This says it all!

We had a great weekend. Chris, Conan and I traveled to Tulsa to go to a friends wedding; Taylor stayed behind to play soccer and it was also team picture day. Conan was having some bowel issues but once we got over that he was great! He is talking so much that everything out of his mouth either 1) amazes me 2) startles me 3) or cracks the hell out of me. Oh the things this child picks up on. The wedding was sweet, but if you ask Conan he will only talk about riding the 4 wheeler. I don't understand how moms do it, that is have sons. Conan is fearless and it makes me fearful. I can only imagine how the next 16 years are going to pan out. "Hold on tight Mama, this one is gonna be a dandy."

These pics are in no particular order.

I posted this one because my hubby is actually smiling in a picture! Whoo Hoo
We had fun driving up there. We talked and laughed, ate Italian Nachos at Johnny Carinos (super yummy) and just enjoyed each other. Reminded me that the small things really do matter. This picture also reminded me that we will be celebrating our 4th anniversay in just a few months. HOLY COW!

Granny and the boys.

This would be Conan watching Conan the Destroyer in the car on the road.

Granny gave him a blue gumball right before the wedding. Hey, it matched his shirt!

Conan and Uncle Corey on the 4 wheeler. They even popped a wheelie.

My little guy has been such a daddy's boy lately. I can't do anything for him without him screaming for Christopher. Man it hurts sometimes. I guess he is making up for being stuck to my breast for the first 8 months, but please son, remember that I AM your mother and love to do things for you. I love to watch movies with you, play trucks in your room, eat poppysicles outside.....Share the love.
