It's a beuatiful day in the neighborhood...

Okay so not the best pic to start out with but I love it! He was just about done being messed with at this point! He help up pretty well considering it was almost bed time!

Playing in Daniel and Sammy's big backyard! Trying to run with the big boys!

Cooking! This is not the most sanitary, maybe next time we will have on an apron!

DA! Ball!

DA! He just loves um!

I'm going to escape! Ha! Watch me go!

Look at those chompers, scratches, and scrapes! He is a real boy!

Hello again so soon!

Here are some more new pictures of our lil man!

Our neighbor (Jenny Platte) decided to try her hand at photography so we are going to be the guinea pigs!

This weekend Mikey decided to 1. get a cold, 2. get a tooth, and 3. learn to say Dog, "DO" and he makes this really cute high pitched "Arf arf" sound to go along with it!

We had a busy weekend. Friday we were supposed to get all of our shopping out of the way but ended up staying home! It was nice to just relax because Mike had to be to work at 4am Saturday.

Saturday Mike went to work but surprised us and was home about 11! He took and nap and Mikey and I went swimming with Auntie Lala! It was so much fun! We went to the Fairbank pool and Mikey loves to just walk around and try to jump in! He does NOT want to hold mommy's hand and mommy does not like it when he wont! He did go under once and was a little shocked I think because he held on a little tighter for a while after that! He really liked being passed back and forth and jumping up and down in the deep end. :0) That way we could all get cooled off.
After swimming we went and got some pizza and Cheetos and headed over to my favorite little Amish store, picked up a few things and headed home! When we got home we got daddy up and headed out the door to do our shopping!

What a lil trooper Mikey was! In and out of Verizon, Hy-Vee, and Target! Poor kid we didn't get home until after 9. He was so tired so we put him to bed, after about 30 minutes of screaming we went to check on him. Turns out he wasn't tired at all! Having mommy AND daddy in his room was just so exciting! We finally gave in after about 30 minutes and headed back downstairs so Mikey could play some of his energy off,. He was in bed and sound asleep by about 10:30. Mommy had high hopes of the kid sleeping in...7:30 isn't to shabby!

Sunday was another great day!

Our friends Jon and Courtney had their son Blake's 3rd birthday party and their daughter Savannah's baptism party in the afternoon. So we packed up after nap time and headed to the park! Mikey wants so badly to run with the big kids! He jumps right in when everyone is playing! He played basketball (yes he can bounce it!) for about an hour plus he had to have cake and ice cream! :) We really wore him out so when we got home he needed a snack and then off to bed! While napping I mowed the lawn and Mike trimmed the trees. We really did accomplish a lot! As soon as I walked in the door to sit down and cool off, Mikey woke up! We spent most of the rest of the evening outside playing! What a great weekend! I can't wait for the next one! Who knows what Mikey will learn this time?!?!?!
