Railroad Square Art Park

We visited a colorful section of town called "Railroad Square Art Park," and took advantage of the scenery to snap a few pictures. All in all, it was a quiet Memorial Day.

11 Months Old

I just got used to saying he's 10 months old and now he's 11!  I love being at home with him and getting to witness every new thing he does, but I have to say, some days are overwhelming. These past 2 weeks he was SUPER clingy, needy, fussy, cranky and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Well, he has 4 new teeth coming in, ouch!  I would be cranky too. After a few days of tylenol and teething gel, he is back to his happy self again.

He makes such a mess when he eats, 

Brian decided this is the best way to feed him.

This is his new favorite toy.

We are so blessed to have such an awesome little boy!

A Few Face Shots

I've been getting more and more into photography lately, so much that friends from church have asked me to take pictures of their families. I've done engagement photos, senior portraits and I'm doing a wedding in December!!! So, we bought a new camera and have been playing around with it for a few days. It's been so fun and exciting to think about the possibilities. Here are some preliminary test shots.

He moves so fast, it's hard to get the shot that I want.

I love my curly headed little boy.  

Posing for fun.

Good times

The Catheys' came to visit us for a few days and we loved catching up with them, staying up late watching movies, going swimming, eating together and celebrating my 34th Birthday!

Oli had a swimming class in between all the fun.

He enjoys being in the water, but doesn't enjoy some of the exercises, like floating with the noodle; He's not too happy here.

Eventhough he's really young and very distracted, I'm glad we're taking this class because it's helping me teach him how to swim.

After swim class, Sarah and I had lunch at Momo's Pizza. 

Aurelia wasn't intimidated by the size of the slice!

Many of you know that I love lemon on almost everything I eat; so I think Oli gets this from me :)

My 34th Birthday started out with a trip to the park.  

After the park, we had breakfast with a play group. Nora, Alan's mom, made a yummy cake to celebrate both of our Birthdays. This photo doesn't quite show how chaotic it was that morning. Picture about 12 moms and 15 kids all under the age of 3. Yeah, it was crazy!

We finished off the night by going to "La Hacienda", a Mexican place. The food tasted authentic and yummy!  We were surprised at how much Oli ate, I guess he also gets that from me!

Aurelia was super tired and sleepy at this point.

After going strong for 15 hours, she called it a night.

It was a fun 34th Birthday, but I'm not thrilled that I'm approaching the mid 30's.  I felt young because I was out past 9:00 p.m., but I felt old because I was exhausted by 10:00 p.m. :)  

Knock em down!

Oliver had fun playing demolition man.
