Icing Mustache

This Wednesday one of my sweet students Maddie gave me a cupcake to take home to Brant after bringing some for a project for Language Arts class. He did not have time to eat it on Wednesday so on Thursday I know it sounds backward, but I needed Brant to take a bath (he had wood chips all in his hair and smelled like sweat and sunscreen) so I bribed him with the cupcake to take a bath (he was starting to get fussy about not wanting a bath). Brant took a bath and afterward got to eat his cupcake. The cupcake did get mostly in his mouth but he did get quite a cute little yellow icing mustache and it started to curve around his mouth some into a goatee kind of like his Daddy's. I guess this is the closest he will get to having a goatee for a long while ( I hope). He loved the cupcake of course and asked for another one when he was finished, but there was only one and so I cleaned him up (after taking some pictures of course) and then we sat down to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse together. I love the expression he showed while I was taking his picture. He has such joy in everything he does it is inspirational. Here are the pictures of him finishing up his cupcake.









My little Monkey

May 12, 2008

Brant really loves bananas and often asks for us to pick some up when he comes grocery shopping with us. I took some pictures of our little monkey eating his banana like a big boy at the table. He got upset each time we took the banana away to peel some more of the peel off for him to eat more banana. He is such a silly little monkey, and we love him. Here are some pictures of my little monkey.

Mother's Day

Brant and Jason sent me some beautiful tullips to school for an early Mother's Day gift. On Mother's Day Jason and Brant also gave me a gift card to get a 90 minute massage and I can't wait until I go get that done. On Sunday afternoon we all went out to lunch with my parents, and my sister and her husband Ryan. We had lunch and then Maureen, Mom, and I all went to go see Made of Honor at the movie theater. We had a great time having some girl time and seeing the chick flick (the movie was really cute). I got home and then spent some time with my two best guys (Jason and Brant) and then we put Brant to bed. It was a wonderful Mother's Day this year. I am also happy to say that my sister Maureen is pregnant and we now know that she will be having a baby BOY in October. I can't wait to meet my new nephew and I'm sure that he and Brant will have some fun times together once he arrives. I can't wait for my sister to experience the joy have had since I had Brant. Having a little boy is such a blessing, and I am so glad that she will be able to experience the same. Here is a picture of the tullips that my boys got me for Mother's Day.

Sorry about the delayed blogging

Sorry it has been so long since I blogged, but I'll be catching up in the next few posts on a few things with some pictures for you.
