weekenders

We had more company over the weekend. My Aunt Darlene and Uncle Bob were in the neighborhood! Aunt Darlene had a conference this week in Va Beach, so they came a day early to spend some time with us. We had a great time--I forgot to take pictures, though--I was so mad at myself! This picture is from Uncle Bob's birthday.

They got here Friday and spent the night. We went to lunch on Saturday and then they were on their way. We wish they could've stayed longer. We all really had a good time.

I gotta tell you this--Saturday morning Aunt Darlene was sitting on the floor, putting on her make up. And, you know Aaron--he couldn't resist--he pulled everything out of her bag--even the cotton balls. He got her deodorant and was taking the lid on and off. Then, he put it up under his shirt and pretended to put it on. We were laughing so hard! It was absolutely hysterical!! I'm telling you--my baby is so smart!! tee hee

coloring eggs

The Morris' came to visit for Easter weekend and we had a BLAST!! These are pictures from Friday night when we colored eggs. The minute they got here Thursday night Eli was asking when we were going to "paint" eggs. Mamaw sent a glow in the dark paint set for the eggs--Thanks Mamaw! (that was a bit of sarcasm from Kelli and I) We had a ham dinner and then painted eggs. After a round of baths we ate "Easter Sundaes"--get it?? Easter Sunday? Joel was the only one who found that even a little bit amusing--I thought I was being so funny and clever. I have more pictures but I just wanted to throw you a little update. Danny opted out of the egg painting extravaganza--oh well--more eggs for Eli!

That's Aaron's egg on the bottom in the middle--the one that's broken. Aunt Kelli still helped him paint the part the wasn't cracked.
Yay!
"Can we start, yet?"
"How does this thing work?"
"Easy does it!"
As with everything else--it ended up in his mouth!

The boys painting.

Chaos!

chores

Aaron has so many chores keeping him busy--like paying the bills,
mowing the lawn,
"Whew! Time for a break and one drink isn't enough!"
sweeping the porch,
and last but not least, picking up pine cones.
For those of you who are wondering--yes! Danny is still here! He's just not real big on getting his picture taken--apparently it pains him greatly and causes his eyes to roll. But, baseball is starting soon and I'll get some pics then.
"Finally--a bath!"

the outdoorsman

Aaron loves, loves, loves it outside! I have a feeling I'm going to have no trouble working on my tan this summer.

Enjoy the videos!

"new" shoes

Kelli gave me a giant bag of shoes right after I had Aaron. I was looking for gym shoes and found sandles for summer--woohoo! Aaron's like me--he hates to wear shoes and socks. I have 1 pair of gym shoes that don't look that great and are getting a little snug, but I think they'll do for the next couple weeks til it warms up.

It's been in the 50's and 60's by the afternoon and we've been playing outside. I know Danny just LOVES it that we're outside when the bus comes! ha ha! Aaron gets so excited to see the bus and then it's always a bonus surprise when Danny walks out the door. He laughs and squeals! I love it.
He couldn't figure them out at first. But he knew they were shoes because he brought them to me to put them on. What a smartie!
He had to keep looking at his feet.
I know what you're thinking--doesn't this kid ever wear pants?? By a certain time in the evening and ater a zillion diaper changes--the pants just don't make it back on!
"Okay enough--let's get these things off!"

my little monkey

Aaron is such a monkey lately--you can't turn your back on him for a second. He's into and onto everything! He saw his blankie in the laundry basket and preceded to climb right in and get it.
"Ha Ha!"
You've seen this pic before--but I love it.
We put this "barricade" up so he can't get behind the couch and into the hallway--WHATEVER! He just climbs over it.
"Steady-- Steady."
"I made it!"
On the arm of the other couch. He likes this one because...
...he can climb right out onto the end table.
I can't keep up!!
