10 Month Boy

This little monkey is keeping me on my toes.  He is crawling all over the place and getting into everything.  The other day I tried to teach him to go down the stairs feet first, but the next time I saw him he was on his way down head first.  Luckily I got to him in time.  Jimmer is changing so much and his little personality cracks me up.  He makes the cutest facial expressions, chatters up a storm and loves being around people.  He waves with not only one hand, but gets both of them going.  He is loving the swimming pool.  We've only taken him three times, but he already is super comfortable and even likes going under the water.  He is finally cutting his first tooth, but it still hasn't come through yet.  He is pulling himself up on the couch and you can tell that me wants to just take off running.

DIY

This is a project that I've been thinking about doing for a long time now.  If I would have known that it would be so easy I would have done it long ago.  The hardest part was finding the right scrapbook paper for the project, but after that was done all I had to do was measure it out and mod podge the paper to the wood.  I forgot to take a before picture, but I did get a picture when I remembered.  I can't believe what a huge difference this small change makes.

Smell the Roses

Our neighbor brought these beautiful flowers over the other day.  She owns a flower shop here in town and I was thrilled when she stopped by.  Ava and I occasionally make cookies and take some over to her and her husband, so this was her way of saying thank you.

Softball With Daddy

With Spring time brings softball in Hinton.  I think that this is one of the only things to do for those sports fanatics in the Spring, so I encouraged Shane to play this year.  There are 29 teams in total, so it just shows how many people get involved.  Our favorite thing to do is go and watch daddy play ball and I think that Jimmer is his biggest fan.  He loves to stand at the fence and scream and scream and scream to the players while Ava just loves to socialize with all the players.

Dancing Queen

Ava had her dance recital last weekend and she looked so beautiful.  The recital started at 7pm on Saturday night, so I was hoping that her ballet performance would be one of the first.  Jimmer's bedtime is 7pm and I knew that he wouldn't make it threw the whole show.  When we got there we discovered that she would be dancing close to the end.  We made it until 8pm and then it was just too late and Shane took Jimmer and I home.  I was sad that I didn't get to see her perform, but at least Shane got to be there to see our dancing diva. I watched her on the DVD and she did so, so good!!
