Our First Camping Trip!!

This is our very spacious tent

Enjoying some quiet time...

...but now it's time to get to work

Such a big helper, gathering firewood

Satisfaction in work well done

I may not be an expert mountaineer like

some little Alaskans I know, but I'm pretty

sure this is a very impressive fire construct.

My little woodsman

Action shot!

Supine view from inside the tent

The great naked outdoors

Look at those legs

"I have to get sompin out of the car. I be right back."

Some ant observing

Supper time!!! (imagine the ringing of a big triangle

in the background)

And now for dessert....Marshmallows.

Although Oliver was very excited about the prospect of

marshmallows, in actuality he found the faux food

too sticky and less than delicious. He would take a

tiny bite then say "have some mom" and shove the

whole thing in my mouth.

Really, the hands in the pockets kill me every time.
The end to a wholesome day camp side.

Hannah's house

This won't hurt a bit.

Oliver has been training for quite some time and
has greatly expanded his bouncing repertoire.

Time to relax after some grueling trampolining.

Trash Town

Aunt Becky built this play town for Oliver. She used egg cartons,

milk cartons, cereal boxes, all recyclable items. The ladder even

extends on the fire engine. We love Aunt Becky!!

2 Big Milestones

The Easter Bunny Brought Play-Doh!!!

So far no ingestion of said Play-Doh

Let's give praise...Play-Doh has risen!!!

Seriously, if he were cuter it would be a sin.

Oliver's First Visit to the Dentist!!!!

My sweet angel is sharing his Elmo Bunny

"I gave him my Elmo Bunny. That's sweet."

It's very sweet buddy and that's a "her"

SOOO BIG!

It was a whirlwind experience. It's all a blur to us.

Just waiting patiently

Almost ready...

Elmo bunny is ready too

He was just perfect.

Look at that calm. It's a testament to my stellar parenting.

Basic Cuteness

Contemplation of a Fashionista?

Clearly, Yes!

Dr. Byrne making a house call


We do not advocate guns, however, we are SO BAD ASS!

Even bad asses need to unwind.

MORE SNOW!!! TWICE IN ONE YEAR!

Our amazing snowman!

Of course size is not the issue

"Uh oh mom, I fall down"

I'm not saying he's a genious, but he clearly

gets his organizational skills from me.

Running in the sound room at the MEWseum

Good grief, can he charm the diaper off anyone or what?

Preparing a lovely salad

Seriously, how cute are his little dishes

Come on Dipsy

Overseeing his world Zeus-like

Walking doggie and the arrow

Sebastian has to sneak into bed with Oliver

after he's fallen asleep, otherwise it's "No Bastian! Get off me bed!"
