Little Bugger....

Here is what I found in the crib the other day after my shower. It seems like time has flown by. How can he already be trying to stand up. I guess its true what they say....kids grow up too fast!! Ohh. As you can tell by his face, he was sooo proud of himself. Now I just have to figure out how to lower the darn crib before he starts trying to escape. Then just a few days later he started to try to go up the stairs. Bruin and Logan are starting swim lessons on Monday, and then the grandparents are coming up for a visit, so will should be busy for the next few weeks. The time goes by so much quicker when we are busy. My class will also be ending soon and I will have to decide if I will have the time to take another one when Alex is home.

As I have told many people, we also have had few friends who are keeping us safe and protected while daddy is away.....

The first was this snake or "Mr. Snakey" as the boys have named him. He has been around for a while and like to sit under the shade of a bush on our front deck, directly in front of the door. For a while I would try to slam the door trying to scare it, at least of the deck, but it never seemed to work. I have now given up trying to get rid of him and have grown accustomed to our new little "guard snake"....LOL
I have been told that this is a woodchuck and he showed up a few days ago. He likes to roam around the backyard when the boys are inside. They must be too loud for him when they are outside too. All of these critters around the house are a little unnerving after living on base housing for the last few years and away from most wildlife. But I guess I am slowing getting adapting to it and the boys love to watch for both out the windows and check under the bush to see if "Mr. Snake" is there when they go outside.

4th Of July

Late I know....But we still had a great 4th of July. The boys and I started the day off watching the parade through town...they had never seen one before thanks to living in Sicily and so this was a first for them. It turns out that we could have walked with Bruins Tae Kwon Doe school because they were in it too!!
After, we had my family over for cookout and then we all headed into town to watch the fireworks together. The boys had a blast all day and Logan was to exhausted to notice that this showed up in the garage until a few days later (thanks to Auntie Teresa S). Which he loves by the way and they are now both racing around the yard, much like the older boys next door do on their dirtbikes.
