What a Morning...

The Morning started off with Holden standing right by my bed saying "Mommy". As I opened my eyes, there he was standing with a pair of scissor in his hand. After telling him he must walk and put them away, here comes Preston (our dog), Not a good thing to let the dog into the house when he has not been outside yet. Luckily no gifts were left for me from the dog...

BUT Holden did leave me a gift on my bathroom floor directly in front of the full length mirror, any Guesses? About 6 curls. Yes, the scissors he had were used to cut his hair. He wanted it to "look different." Interesting...luckily with all that hair, it's hard to find exactly where he cut it.

Next, we had just arrived at StrollerFit and Holden was practicing his sprints. A moment later, I look over and he had fallen over a huge flower pot...Crying, crying, crying...I guess he didn't see it and ran right over it.

After getting him situated in his stroller, I realized I had a flat stroller tire. GEEZ...everything happens in 3's so hopefully we are good for the rest of the day!

Have a good one!

Funny Fridays

Holden has recently decided that he can and will swim underwater. It consists of opening his mouth as wide as it can go, (to take the biggest possible breath) looking at the person at the pool standing next to him (to make sure they see how cool he is) and then he goes under water briefly, comes back up and smiles the biggest smile you've ever seen. He does it over and over and over. The big mouth and the looking around just gives me the giggles...I'm surprised he doesn't tap the kid standing next to him so they will watch.

Well, Leila declared the other morning that she was all packed up. :) She had finished packing for a trip a month away. Gotta love it.

One more from Holden...We finished swimming and my husband had taken Holden into the locker room to get him changed. Holden enjoyed asking, "Why is that man's tummy so BIG?" Before Holden could ask about another man, my husband had to distract him, "Hey Holden, look over here." This was one of those moments that I'm glad my husband got to handle. :)

4th of July Weekend


We had a fun 4th of July weekend. Our friends from Midland came in town to for the weekend. We had lots of fun thing planned, but most of the plans didn't work out like we had "planned." Thank goodness for good friends, because we were able to have a good time anyway!!

Where's the boat?

Fun with sparklers and poppers!
