hydrangea!

I love Hydrangeas and have been blessed with a HUGE hydrangea bush in our front yard. I've been making bouquets all summer. Today's pruning provided not only large and small blue blooms but also green and white. They are SO beautiful!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!

Our birthday present to Ben. The kids and I had so much fun putting them together.

I'm Watching You!

...eyes of baby blue...

Stuck!

I am moving all over the place and I am FAST! Sometimes I get stuck and need to be rescued and sometimes if you give me a minute or two I can free myself. I LOVE being independent and if you follow me and say "Where are you going Lolek?" I will squeal and crawl even faster!

Happy 4th of July!

Brothers...

Legos!

Mommy bought Daddy an itouch for Christmas....I like to build things from legos...so I built myself an itouch of my own....Mommy says I'm very clever!

SPIKE! [a most unique houseguest]

This is Spike...he is our friends Landon and Olivia's pet lizard. We watch him when his family goes camping. We super love Spike...the cats LOVE Spike....or more specifically his crickets...

A girl & her boy...

I am a great lil' Mommy to Lolek. I love to hold him and make him laugh. He lights up whenever Michael or I enter the room. We super love him!

Mommy likes sleepy kids...

....and sometimes I get SO sleepy....

Joshua Paul

Yesterday Aunt Amanda gave birth to our newest cousin, Joshua Paul (we call him Paul). He is super cute!

Our Girl...

I like to keep my drawer nice and organized. I am getting very close to being able to fold and put away baby's and my clothes. Mommy is very excited about this!

I DID IT!

So today I was playing on my activity mat and Mommy was working around the house. All of a sudden Abby called out "Mommy! Come look at baby!" Mommy came in and found me on my stomach (for the very first time)! I was one proud little man.

Happy Easter!

We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house this year for Easter. It was pretty quiet since we were the only kids there (and Clare). We had tons of fun hunting for eggs and eating our candy. Mommy didn't get a picture of it but Lamby had the same dress as me...it was so cool.
