Ruh Roh

You may remember that I've mentioned that we have some rose bushes in our backyard. Well, when I'm out watering the roses with the garden hose, Boo has really enjoyed helping me by always putting his hand in the stream of water. He LOVES it. And, although it's not always convenient to have a wet, dirty boy, I usually let him have his fun. I mean, it's hot out, he's a boy, etc... No harm in that, right? Maybe.

Let's fast forward to a few days ago when we were out playing in the yard. I was sitting in the rocking chair on the patio and Boo was in the yard with Murray and Sandy. Murray decided he needed to tinkle and started making a stream of his very own, if ya know what I mean. Remember, he's a boy and hikes his leg to tinkle, making the perfect rainbow arc!!

It all seemed to be happening in slow motion and I could just see the events unfolding. That being said, I was not quick enough and before I could get to G, all the while shouting, "Don't touch, don't touch", my beloved little boy reached his hand out, just like he does when I'm watering the roses, and put it in Murray's stream of water.

Ruh Roh.

The Winner Is...

Elena!!
Boo wants to go outside!
The answer is revealed below!

He got a little distracted on the way to the back door by the slightly ajar pantry door.
It's his job to close the pantry door and he takes it very seriously! :)

It's so stinkin' cute when he says "siiiiiide" over and over again. I love how he draws it out. He loves to go outside, but it's been SOO HOT here, in the 100's already. But, this mama can't resist that sweet sound and I almost always take him for a few minutes at least. He usually gets pretty mad when we have to come back inside though. I try to entice back indoors with juice or milk.

Pop Quiz

Today, we're having a pop quiz!!

When G first came into our lives, so did a new vocabulary.
As he is begining to use some words of his own, our vocabulary is evolving yet again.

Can you tell what he is saying in this video?

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all of the Daddies out there!

We especially would like to say how blessed we are to have such wonderful Dads in our lives! We love you B-man, PawPaw, Grandpa and Uncle A!!

B-man has had to work this weekend, going in at 1pm and staying until 10pm. So, we had a small window to celebrate with him today. We decided to go out for lunch. When I suggested that Boo and B-man dress alike on this special day, B-man looked at me and said, "Hey, what is this...Mother's Day or Father's Day??!!" hahaha!

Don't they look so cute together?

For the Dave Matthews Fans...and the TomTom Fans

B-man was searching for info about GPS systems for his truck and he came across one he liked!

If you're not familiar with Dave Matthews, this probably won't be that interesting to you. But, we thought it was great!

Sue, this one's for you! :)

Our Little Fish

Boo and I have been taking swim lessons this week and last. And we're happy to report that he L-O-V-E-S the water! We went to the pool with B-man on Saturday to show off what we've learned so far.

Going under!

Jumping off the side.
He won't stand up to do it, but I'm just happy that he's excited about getting in the water.
I hope he's this way next year too.

Catching a ride on Daddy's back.
He was really interested in B's wet hair.

Video Jackpot

I was trying to take some photos of Boo so that BeBe could print them and take them to a family reunion on Saturday. I had a hard time getting some photos, but he did ALL of his tricks. I've been trying to get these moments of video for a while now, but today, I hit the jackpot!

He can make the horse sound...

And he did the cow sound for the first time on this recording. He does it over by the door, so I'm not sure if you'll be able to hear it. And, it's more of a "Mmmmm" than a moo. But, it's definitely different than the horse sound.

The other day, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star was playing on our CD player and he ran over to this star on the wall and started pointing at it! I was amazed! We've never pointed to that star before. He does have a star in his shape sorter, though. So, I guess that's where he learned it from. So cool to watch his mind working!

WARNING: This video contains material of a little boy putting his finger up his nose! If you'd rather keep the image of a sweet sweet baby boy in your head...don't watch!! :)
But, it's guaranteed to make you laugh! hahahahahaha! :)

Happy Birthday...

Grandpa!!!

Hope you have a great day!!

Southern Supper!

Tonight for supper (yes, I say supper...as a true southern gal should...) we had

Paula Deen's pulled pork sandwiches
Coleslaw with Momee's (my grandmother) coleslaw dressing
salt and vinegar potato chips

and Paula Deen's Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding!

And it was Mmm Mmm good!!

More Military Musings

This time, it's about health care.

So, I call to make an appointment with my primary care provider...

Operator: "hmm, let's see...you've been assigned to XYZ AFB. They do everything different there..."

Me: awkward silence...

Operator: "Okay, looks like you're with Dr. So and So....and she's on the red team. They have a red team and a blue team there..."

Me: (thinking to myself) "What??? The red team? I've never heard of such a thing."

Operator: "Okay, let's look at her schedule....hmm, it says there are no appointments available. She must be on TDY. They do that a lot at XYZ Air Force Base. Let's try someone from the blue team...

Me: sheepishly "okay?"

And it went on from there. After it was all said and done, there was no appointment made. You can't take your child to the clinic, so we have to get Boo enrolled in childcare on post, which has been an experience all on it's own. Maybe I'll give you a little snippet of that one tomorrow.

But seriously...a red and blue team??? My primary care doctor is on TDY???
Ahh, gotta love it! :)

Awww!

Finally, a photo from the swings. And don't worry, we got his hair cut this weekend! :)

Mmmm! Lemonade!

Can you put your shoes away?

Giving Mama kisses. This totally melts my heart!!!!
