This week, we affirmed that there really is prima donna in the house. And no, it wasn’t the little guy (although, now that I think of it). Little Miss Mattie was on full display this week. We decided to get the dogs teeth cleaned and dropped off Trojan and Mattie. Trojan instinctively went into her …
Week in Rewind: April 5
My baby is officially a mini soccer player. And let me tell you, Mama had great hope when the boy charged onto the field like a pro. He kicked that little soccer ball up and down the field. And down the big hill MULTIPLE times (which forced Mama to go get it). Why, oh why, …
Week in Rewind: March 30
Giddy Up! Last weekend we found a new playground. And someone was super stoked. The little guy’s future elementary school totally put in two new playgrounds. And the boy romped around both in your bliss, showing off his mad playground skills. I feel the need for speed. That’s right, Daddy finished 2nd overall in a …
Week in Rewind: March 21
It’s official, the little guy had a great week. He started on Saturday with a ride on his big boy bike. Let me set the picture. Our development sits across the street to an awesome park with a biking/running/walking lane…and on the weekends, the soccer fields are packed. As we strolled over as a family, …
Happy Birthday to the amazingly awesome Uncle Dick
As I get older, I often like to look at the character traits of good souls. I pray that the little guy will take the best of these traits and become a better person. For my Uncle Larry, it’s taking a lemon (polio at a young age) and making lemonade. For my parents, it’s giving …
The Grasshopper continues to learn
Last night we did karate. Z did awesome. He’s really getting the hang of it and more importantly loving it. The boy beat down the Master’s stick and confidently smacked talked with his friends that he was the fastest. That’s my boy, a mean lean karate machine…
Week in Rewind: Mar 14
Stop the presses: next week, the little guy is student of the week at his daycare Someone could not have been more proud. And by someone, I mean the little guy. He smiled as he explained his favorite colors, food, toys. Something tells me that someone likes the limelight…. Last weekend, we celebrated three awesome …
Week in Rewind: March 6
It was one of those wash, rinse, repeat weeks. In other words, not much news on the radar. Let’s see. The little guy did great again in karate. The best part, there is one kid who always seems to be put in timeout (a class troublemaker, if you will). This week saw the little …
This Mommy Still Has It
His favorite ticky ticks put an overly tired boy to sleep.
Week in Rewind: Feb 28
It was a busy week in this household. Let’s start with the Return of the Grasshopper. The little guy did awesome yesterday in karate. Fully participated-fully listened. There is a moral in this story. The others started fast. From day one, no butt in the air, doing all commands (show offs, if you will). But …
