Hot "Summer" Days

Well it is not offically summer yet these last couple days sure feels like it! We hauled out the pools to cool off and have some fun. This was Levi's first experience with the pool since he was a newborn last summer and he seemed to enjoy it. Her are two of my boys( the other was at school) enjoying the water in this warm weather.

He likes cords, he plays with the vaccum cord, the lamp cord,computer cords, air pump cord, the cord to the blinds and even when we were at Crazy Bounce he played with the cords there too.

11 Months

Man, 11 months- that means next month is your birthday and you will be one! Levi is constantly on the go and acting less and less like a baby each day. He is on all table food and still has 3 bottles a day, but he has also tried regular milk in a sippy and he loves it! He is getting more daring and pushing away from furniture and taking a few steps, but I wouldn't consider him walking yet, but I think very soon. He waves bye bye, but also for night night and hi. He says mama and dada but I have not heard much else. He has never been much of a talker. He loves being outside and is always putting stones, grass, whirlie birds, whatever he can find in his mouth. It's gonna be a busy summer keeping after him. He got his first big owie- he fell into the window ledge and still has a huge bump on his forehead. He also loves to play with trucks and push them around and make truck noises. It is so cute! He still has four teeth, the bottom two and his fangs on top, he may be working on some more b/c he has been a little crabbier lately. Hopefully his front two teeth. Love Him! He is growing into such a fun, happy, lovable little guy!

Best Buds

Last Friday I got to watch my niece Sophia and nephew Max. I snapped a few pictures of the boys. They are only 2 weeks apart. They don't play together much right now, but I hope as they grow up they become best buddies!

Meijer Deal...Free & Cheap

This may not seem like a great deal or much to write about, but I only paid .50 for these to items. The Nabisco snack packs(12 ct) are $4 at Meijer and if you purchased one of these you also got the mac' n cheese cup for free. You are only allowed 1 per transaction( to get the free mac'n cheese- if you don't care to have those you can purchase the snack packs all at once with all the coupons), so I did like 5 different transactions. Here is how you get the snack packs for .50- If you got the 5 pack of mac' n cheese a few weeks ago they also had coupons on them for $2.50 off a snack pack( and there are still some available on them in the store), so I used that plus Meijer Mealbox had a coupon for $1.00 off 1 off these packs. Combined them together and got pretty cheap stuff. These are great to use in Riley's lunch box, on the go snack, or like I am going to use them for the snack I have to bring for after one of his t-ball games.

Happy 7th Birthday Riley!!

My oldest boy is 7!! WOW!! Riley had a great b-day with lots of gifts recieved. He is obsessed with Mario on the Wii and even had a Mario theme party. He got Mario Cart and then recieved $50 and wanted to buy Mario Galaxy. He also got some Legos, Transformers, Rollerblades, Leapster game, water gun, and some other cool toys too. He definetly got a lot of loot this year. He is growing up way to fast but I look forward to watching him become a young man, he is already a great brother! We love you buddy!!

he wanted a mario theme b-day party at Crazy bounce so I carried the theme over into his other b-day party and made him this cake.

Riley really wanted a birthday party with the boys from his class, so we celebrated at Crazy Bounce. The boys had lots of energy and had lots of fun!
