G-R-O-S-S

Ava is G-R-O-S-S. Plain and simple. She does things like licks her foot and says 'mmmm, Mom-Mom'. She also eats lotion, soap and anything else I seem to question as being disgusting. Fortunately for me, she was given a bath RIGHT before I put her in the car. Now if she would have been licking her foot prior to the bath after hanging out at the lake all day, then houston we would have a problem!

Collin

This is my conversation with Collin before bath time...

C: Hey this bathroom is really clean. There isn't any suspects on the floor, well maybe just one small one in the corner.

M: What are suspects? (I will be perfectly honest here, I knew what he was talking about but these kind of conversation with Collin are THE best. Anyone with small children live for these kind of moments).

C: You know what they are... hey I bet you were on the news

M: Why would I be on the news?

C: B/c you clean all the suspects off the floor. The bathroom is REALLY clean. Hey, I bet you could help me clean my room!

Here is another funny that Collin said tonight:
"Today Ally made me mad because she kept tearing my house down that I was build-ing. I looked at her and said STOP DOING THAT. Then she just looked at me and didn't say anything so I asked her HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT? Then she walked away. She never has anything else to say when I yell that at her'!

Another funny like Collin started using is 'If they don't stop beedin' mean to me, things are gonna get ugly!

Like I said earlier, these conversations with Collin are the best and I just had to share!

The day before the BIG day!

Well, we have been counting down the days until Collin's BIG day. Each day this week (starting Sunday) we have had cake and opened a present. I just know that next week will be considered boring around our house!

I love pizza

This little is no longer needing her food to be cut up for her AND she is also sitting in a big girl booster seat. I love seeing all the new things she is doing. Even if it breaks my heart a little with each new venture she takes. I love you miss Ava.

Monday Afternoons...

A lazy Monday afternoon...

The next greatest ball player!

You are looking at Collin, the next greatest baseball player! This is his 2nd year of t-ball and I must say he has done a 180 degree turn from last year. He is so much better!. Dad and I are so very proud of the whole team! Although I miss the Michael Jackson dancing while on deck and the throwing of dirt on the opposite team's Coach, but I love how they know more of the rules and their attention span a little longer. I look forward to seeing each player grow as the season continues... Go Brewers!

The Countdown Begins...

There seems to be a present fairy that keeps dropping off presents at our house. They all have Collin's name on them so I guess this starts the countdown to Mr. Collin Elijah's 6th Birthday. 14 days and counting...
