missed opportunities

oh boy! so, to keep a long, dramatic story brief- my trigger fingers somehow deleted all of our files, ie pictures, documents, you name it. not so wonderful. and to top it off i had just moved and deleted over 1000 pictures from the camera.
poof! gone like that.

but, here are some things the g-man has been up to recently:

received a lovely package from mimi & enjoyed opening it
and seeing what was inside.

i was more excited about the two swim trunks and g man loved the fish.
thanks mimi! :)

check out that belly! cracks me up each time i am bathing him.
g has discovered the new fun it is trying on daddy's shoes and learning to walk in them!

toys r' us in search of a new carseat (finally!)

g was in awe of all of the toys and found a seat and stuffed
animal just his size.:)

taking a bike for a spin

panda bear in tow and off to find something else exciting.

reading up on how to install the new carseat.

first sign of fall- pumpkins for sale! so excited!

no worries peeps, just a little first taste of some
chocolate pudding. (don't mind my goober face!)

power tools and all, g was ready to help out daddy!

playing at the park! this kid loves to climb!

also loves to swing, but doesn't last too long

dizzy seat of craziness!

learning how to go down the slide all by himself.

playing peek a boo with dad

our attempt at a family photo.
when do kids start to look and smile at the camera?
seriously. he is so crazy.

thanks to liz and thomas for this rockin' swimming pool.
unfortunately the water was a bit colder than the g-man would have liked.

hanging around with mama!

so, does everyone know about the most random store called Ollies?
we had fun watching g finding all sorts of odds and ends, including a super-sized dog to drag around,

x-large ping pong paddles,

taking a break at the perfect sized table and stool,

and coming home with his very own watering can!

eating popsicles

i found the very studious g reading up in the dictionary.

dinner at the park. g loves to help out and wanted to carry the blanket back to the car

so we let him have his fun

best craigslist buy ever. little tikes car for $5

he loves it and wants to ride everyday.
i love a good deal!:)

and here he is reminding me, yet again, never to underestimate
his mad climbing skills.

isn't his expression the best?

in a rut

hello peeps. i realized what has been missing in my lovely, little life- a good book to suck me right in and get excited about.
i am quite particular when it comes to finishing a good book, as i have a weak sauce stomach for lovey dovey, crudeness, ill language and overall yuck!

so, with that said...
any good book ideas? send my way!

there is something so liberating about reading good literature!
