Updates!

I wonder if anyone even reads my blog???? Even if I'm just writing it for myself, it is nice to go back and reread it. It has helped me write in William's baby book!

Updates, Updates!

My poor ignored blog! Actually, I haven't been taking very many pictures this summer :( I've decided that I don't like my camera and it takes forever to take a picture, so I've hardly used it. That combined with the fact that I haven't been feeling well due to pregnancy means taking very few pictures.

William is growing like a little weed. He amazes me everyday! The things he says and comes up with-I just can't believe! He is like a little sponge who takes everything in. We have been up to the cabin a few times and swimming at the local pool. Just yesterday he started jumping into the pool without holding onto my hands. I thought he'd be too scared to do it, but he loved it. If I started to put my hands up, he would say, "no hands!"

The following pictures were taken at Grandpa Roger's farm. He has lots and lots and LOTS of tractors, so William was in tractor heaven. He also enjoyed feeding hay to the horses and cows. He was a little surprised that the tractors in real life are so big!

Cute Purse

I just bought this adorable purse from etsy.com (click the link or paste it into your browser). I love it! It's so cute and well made.

If you've never been to etsy.com before, YOU NEED TO CHECK IT OUT RIGHT NOW! It's like e-bay (well, not really). People make things in their homes (well made things for the most part), and then they post their items on etsy.com. I have bought a blanket, infant shoes (3 pairs), and now my purse.

Check out the website!

Doesn't he look so angelic?

My Students

Today my first graders had their spring concert. It was so cute! They did such a great job. I even got a little teary-eyed...gee...I can just imagine how I will be when my own children sing, play sports, etc...I'm going to be the mom crying behind her video camera!

Aren't these the cutest?

I found these adorable "cake pops" on a website (the same one I listed a few posts below with the Easter cupcakes). Aren't these little cupcakes on a stick adorable? They were somewhat tedious but very fun to make. I love the end results!

William cracks me up!

Here are some funny things William either does or says...

-Lately he is obsessed with motorcycles (must be the nice weather). Whenever he sees a motorcycle he comments on whether the cyclist is wearing a helmet or not. He will say, "Helmet!" or "No helmet!" with such enthusiasm. When asked, "William, why does he have a helmet on?" He will say, "No owies!"

-For Easter my parents gave him a pair of Handy Manny pajamas. He loved them so much that he wore them to bed on Sunday night, all day Monday (we tried to get the shirt off but couldn't and it wasn't worth the fight-we did manage to change his pants though), and to bed on Monday night. We FINALLY got the shirt off on Tuesday! You're probably thinking that's pretty gross and could we let him wear his pj shirt for so long? Well, some battles are worth avoiding, and this was one of them!

-He has two loveys these days. The one he sleeps with but doesn't carry around is called "nice lovey" because it's still soft and not dirty. The one he carries everywhere is called "gross lovey". I keep trying to encourage him to call it something else, like "good lovey" but he always refers to it as "gross lovey". I wonder where he heard that from...(his daddy).

-He loves to pray at mealtimes. I never remember (oops) and he always does. Usually he doesn't remember right away; it's about halfway through. He throws down his utensil, and says, "oh!" and then puts his hands together. We pray and then as soon as we're done, he says with enthusiasm, "let's eat!" It's so cute!

I love this age! He really is so much fun!
