Summer Fun

The weather has finally gotten nice, so we've been able to enjoy being outside.  Deacon LOVES the outdoors.

"Helping" daddy

Pretty pumped about his new chair.

Thanks to Nat Long's fantastic idea of a cup & a bowl of water, little one was occupied for an afternoon.

Birthday surprise for daddy.

Party for daddy.

Welcome home balloons for daddy.

Blowing out the candles.

And thanks to another friend, Katie Coning, Deacon got his first pool.

He likes it just a bit. :)

Ruffle butts or Cowboy boots...

Today was a big day....Deacon's going have a little SISTER.

Does this make you smile like it does me?

Bump Update

Please excuse the candy cane striped pj pants.

To any that care....here is baby #2 at 18 weeks.  Mama is feeling LOTS better and getting more & more energy.  I am thankful!  Two more weeks and we can call this baby he or she. :)

Thinking of this....

I'm wondering of those following this:

I was only around 12 years old, but I still remember that day.  

This Makes Me "Happy."

I've gotten The Fulton Farms Happy Box several times, but this year I actually subscribed to the weekly delivery.  Today was my first delivery and the name rings true.  This box just makes me happy. :)

Crisp, fresh, yumminess.

If the picture makes you smile, you should smell it!

This makes me laugh

I was reading through a boat-ful of magazines that I got from the doctors office and I came across this and it made me laugh and say "duh" all at the same time.  Basically it's an article for new parents and the dos and donts of parenting.  Here is the paragraph on co-sleeping.

"An October 2009 study published in the British Medical Journal found that more than half of SIDS deaths occurred while the infant was sleeping with a parent in bed or on a sofa, particularly  when the parent had used drugs or alcohol."

So, for all of you new parents out there, it's probably not a good idea to co-sleep with your baby after you just consumed too many drugs or drank too much alcohol.  Just a suggestion. :)  I mean, come on.
