A milestone in every boy's life...

There comes a time in every boy's life when they need a cup. Thank goodness I had my little camera tucked away in my purse. I'd hate to have missed such a fun opportunity. We also had to buy a mouthguard...I took pictures of that too, but these are just so much more fun!

Such a big selection!


He really wanted a blue one...but the blue ones were way too big!


Taking a test drive before we bought it...he was just TOO excited to try it on! (This one didn't fit...it was way too large...we went back to find the PeeWee size!) :)

Determination.

One determined to get food actually in his mouth and not in every other nook and cranny...

And the other determined to be all grown up and eat just like Daddy.



Gross...Ewww...Yuck.



I went to Downers Grove to pick up my camera from the repair shop...only to find the plague right outside their storefront. It freaked me out a little, but I snatched up 8 cicadas, put them in a baggy and brought them home to show Matthew. He was NOT impressed...and possibly more scared than I was. Ewww, they still give me the creeps.

Suzie's Senior Pictures...

Just a couple pictures I took of my cousin, Suzie this past weekend.
















Could he be...


Any cuter? Seriously, look at this kid. I love him!

The wildest guest at the wedding was Matthew.

He did have a wonderful time table dancing...

now where would he get that from????

Ethan - 3 months old

Well, here he is. This kid is a breeze. Easy going, happy and soooo laid back. I swear the only time he really cries is when he's hungry. That's all! He's the best baby we could have asked for and it's been so easy adjusting to two kids. He is sleeping though the night, most nights. He eats great and he's always smiling.

I don't think we could have gotten any luckier.






YUMMMMM

This is what we had for dinner today! What a yummy dinner.
I loved it.

Tim & Natalie's Wedding

I think I may have more pictures on the other camera, but this is all I have from their wedding on my camera I had in my purse. What a good looking couple, huh?
The morning after, hanging out at the Pheasant Run's Pool.
Dinner at Salerno's on the Fox. (Notice Ethan's not in any of these? He was sleeping, as usual!)

Memorial Day, Monday. LoLo and Ethan, waiting for some burgers.

Sliver patrol. Bryan had a HUGE sliver in his foot that was quickly removed in sterile conditions, by Dr. Kingston Ward, assisted by Nurse Lorraine! Ewwww.
Sick boy, Matthew after a bath. He had such a horrible cold, double ear ache and a fever of 102.2. To top it all off, a bad bad bad sunburn!
Cute baby, Ethan!
You can see the burn here...Look how pink he was....
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

TURTLE SOUP

What fun!

Today our neighbor found a turtle on the way back from work and brought it home to let Matthew see it. She thought it would be a fun thing for Matthew and Bryan to do together. So before we released it into the Fox River, we had to take a few snap shots. Matthew was a bit scared and hesitant to make friends, but we managed to get a few pictures before he got too freaked out!


Hungry? Daddy and Matthew are ready for turtle soup!















Finally, a pose with the turtle.



















HOW CUTE IS THAT!!??!!
















He was a bit scared of the claws on his feet. He did NOT want to touch it until it's feet were tucked neatly back inside the turtle's shell.
