Life Lately

A boy, a bug, and his bike. :)

Rockwell has started a city league of Track. He loves it! I'm not sure yet how the meets work, but during practice he's training with kids ages 7 - 10. I think that's good for him, because he's not the fastest one every time. The older boys really push him to work harder and listen to the coaches on how to improve.

Paul took a day off work and finished up a few things around the yard. Tessa loved helping him collect all the sticks he had chopped from the tree he cut down.

  

She also loved showing me trick after trick when the work was done.

  

We have tons of firewood now, so we made a fire one evening. These pictures crack me up.

"Want some Dad?"

"Psych!"

We met Al and Katie at a park one day. The weather was perfect, and it was so fun to spend the day outside with friends.

  

Damon thought it was so funny to run away from me. He's definitely not at a great age for parks, but Al helped a ton with following him around and helping him with the stuff he can't quite do on his own yet.

Damon still loves to take all his clothes off, and has figured out how to get his diapers off. We've been putting these onesie shirts on him while he sleeps, but he's figured out how to get his diaper off and out of the shirt without getting the buttons undone. There have been some seriously gross cribs to clean up lately! Now he sleeps with sleepers on backwards, so he can't undo the zipper. Little stinker!

The garage looks so nice, and it's great to have so much more space there and in the shed with everything organized.

The kids always look so nice on Sundays, I always try and take a picture if we happen to be ready on time.

Paul and I went on a fun date last weekend. We had a gift card to PF Changs, so we had dinner there. The Life Skills class from his school was having their prom dinner at a restaurant right across from there, so we timed it right that we could stop in to say hi to them. They all went as a group with their peer mentors as their dates. Paul loves these kids, and they love him just as much. It was so fun to meet them and see how excited they were to be at Prom.

We had a gift card to Barnes and Noble too, so we went there after dinner. We both found a few books that we're really excited about. I could seriously stay in that store for hours! We got some dessert after that. It was a really fun night. And I love my husband! Look at that glamour shot. :)
