Grapefruit Italian Soda

Well, once again Finn takes after John. John was drinking Grapefruit Italian Soda (yuck) and Finn wanted a taste. John let him drink from his glass and Finn could not get enough! He smacked his lips, held out his hands, and fussed for more!

Date Night!

John and I decided we needed a date night. Kids in tow we went to the Yellow Church Cafe for dinner, they serve very good food. Connor and Finn behaved very well. After dinner Finn and John shared dessert. Finn may look more like me but he definitely takes after John and his love for...you guessed it Creme Brulee. Finn could not get enough of the blueberry creme brulee. He fussed when John took too long in giving him his next bite!





Then Connor joined of for a movie and ate popcorn and licorice!



Over all.... it was a good night

Walleye!

John went fishing for the weekend last week. He did not catch any but his buddies did and John brought a couple home. Connor and Finn were ecstatic! The fish, shockingly were still alive. The next morning Connor woke up and ran into the kitchen saying "Where my fishy go?"

We have a walker!

Saturday....just me and my boys.....

John is gone on a fishing weekend and left last night after we put the boys to bed. So how has it been since he has been gone 1 day? Funny you should ask.....

Last night after putting Connor back in bed 6 or so times, I decided to take advantage of the quiet and took a shower. When I entered my bedroom there was a little body in my bed, sound asleep! Connor then woke up about 4-5 times crying "Owie! My ear!" and an occasional "there's a bug in there". Since he has been mentioning a bug in his ear for a few week i brushed it off at first but when it continued ALL night, to the doctor we went. So Saturday morning we got dressed and went to see the doctor who said......no bug, no ear infection, nothing! oh well.

After the doctor we went to Chick Day at a local feed store and saw all the free chicks! Connor did not want to leave the chicks! (I think we could have been there all day!)


We played with finger paints... the kind that only show on the paper.


played outside.....until someone threw rocks.....







For dinner I asked Connor what he wanted: pizza, hotdogs, etc. to my surprise he said french toast. So we had breakfast for dinner!






At the end of the day we took a bath and mended a fat lip from earlier that day. Poor Finn is taking a beating to his being mobile but not all that stable.



It is days like these I count my blessings. Though my patience was tested more than normal and I, myself, had to stop before reacting, my boys are a joy and are very loving! I mean how do you get mad at a 2 year old who tests then runs up to you and gives you a great big kiss. Sure it may be a plow to get out of trouble, but I love it!

Happy First Birthday Finn

It is hard to believe that a year ago today I brought home a beautiful baby boy. Immediately Connor and Finn we best buds.




I learned to laugh and crawl, then sit and stand. Now I can walk if you hold my hand. But the fun has just begun. Look out, I’m turning One
