Outside.

The outdoors can afford you so much fun.

Playhouse.

Caterpillars.

Except this......

Yes. This. IS. A. Black. Widow.

Not so much fun.

Inheritence.

So, Connor did actually take after me with a few things.

Big brown eyes.

Clumsy.

NOT a morning person.

Doesn't like anything on his hands.

But this is the best ........

His aim isn't quite as good as mine, but he's getting there!

Easter Bunny.

I went out to get in my car, and guess what I found?!

A baby bunny nestled in the grass in my front yard.

He didn't mind having his picture taken at all.

I even got to pet him once before he hopped away.

It's good to have a friend.

What child labor laws?!

Ooooooh yeah!

That's what I'm talkin' about!

Train 'em up right!

That's all I'm sayin.

Wanna see something cool?

Check out this website to make shadow paintings!

Your kids can do it, heck, I am gonna do it!!

Smile.

"I would like to have you smile because after all we must keep a sense of humor whatever comes. I think, of all the people in the world, we should be the happiest. We have the greatest and most joyous message in the world. I think when we get on the other side, someone will meet us with a smile (unless we go to the wrong place and then someone will grin), so let us be happy. But let our happiness be genuine - let it come from within"

President Hugh B. Brown, The Abundant Life

Sooooo...........Smile!!

One dollar.

Connor is learning his ABC's.




$1 at Walmart!

Two.

I can't believe it.
We celebrated Connor's birthday tonight with the rest of the family.


Skatetown........ooooooh ya!



Connor insisted I carry him while skating.





He blew out his candle all by himself!




I had to include this pic. Mike mid-fall!




Oh, good times.

Fifteen.

That's the number of pounds I still have to lose to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight.

Tonight is when it happened.

I was leaving the gym (aka my second home)

When a guy comes up to me.

Guy: "No offense or anything (never good to start a sentence like that)"

Guy: "But, you keep working out like you do, and you're gonna look great one day"

Me: "I sure hope so"

Guy: "Oh you will, you work out on that machine like a champ!"

Seriously. Seriously?!

Did someone really just say that to me?

Wait.

Was that an insult or a compliment?

or both?

Either way, I took it the way I took it.

Reality check.

So starting this week, strict diet.

You're goin' down fifteen!
