First warm day of Spring

Enjoying vacation.  I cut the front bushes so it now looks like someone lives at our house.  I lost another 3 pounds so I am super happy.  We are now walking two laps around Wyoming each morning for over an hour.  I started a food journal to see how many calories, fat, sugar I am consuming.  Tomorrow is a big day, we have some shopping, yard work and a dog to bathe.  She is a bit stinky and I have been trying to get time to wash her for over a week.  We did food shopping today, Shane was so cute saying bye bye when we were leaving, to everyone he saw and I mean everyone.  Too cute!  

First warm day of Spring pics...

Happy Spring!

I can play outside?

Rikku is glad spring is here.

The last year for the pear tree.  It is starting to fall apart so 

after this season it is going.

First grass cut of 2010

Woa, what are ya doing ma?

Look how high the grass was!

Maybe I can cut the grass someday

Leo says the grass should have been cut sooner.

Too high for him to run and play

Leo is not sure of Shane being outside too.

Leo is going to keep an eye on this kid.

SMILE

Lets play!

Can we play now?

How about now?

I will play with you Rikku!

Before picture of our side jungle brush

Oh my, super overgrowth!

Action Shot

I got a splash pool but I like it as a chair.

Great place to read my Dr Suess!

Video of Shane and Rikku

Boy it was hot the past few days but nice yesterday and today.  Walked two laps around Wyoming while Shane slept in the stroller today. I had to get dog food and stop at the pharmacy also.  Shane was the hit of the day at both places.  He wowed the cashiers at the grocery store with his smiles and yelling "Bye-Bye" as we left.  At the pharmacy he flashed smiles, showed the pharmacist how he can wave good bye and giggled up a storm.  Maybe he will be going into politics when he is older, he knows how to work a crowd.

 Dyson is on vacation starting Thursday and all next week. YIPEEE!!!!  I am so happy.  He has been working both days and nights the past two weeks so it will be great to spend some time with us all together.

Today I have a video of what happens at almost every lunch time, whether Shane is in his booster seat or running around.  It also shows the reason Rikku is Shane's best friend.....

Shane!!

Got another 5 am wake up call from Shane.  I don't know how he does it but he can turn the alarm on to beeping mode and gets me right up.  I had a doctors appointment today so we had a small trip.  There was a long wait so we took a walk around Kingston and and played in the back seat of the car.  Shane did very well and got compliments on his good behavior.  He is such a sweetie.  I lost about 77lbs so far and am happy about that.  Just about 20 to 25lbs to go and I will be at a good weight range.  I also trimmed a large amount of wild grape vines and this weird tree (aka Poke you in the Eye Tree) from the back chain link fence.  It was about 12 ft tall, the tree, and covered in vines,  It also was about a foot over the alley road so I had to get that under control so cars can go thru without being scratched.  Next step is to bag all the clippings, that is going to be a chore.  I will put the pool up again tomorrow since it will be getting hotter. Great weather to cut the grass...yeah :( 

Smile, your on Mommy Cam

Look what I found!

Best toy ever!

Yo, whaz up?

I found another cool toy!

A tisket a tasket, Shane is in a basket!

Shane found a Sharpie maker!

Hard to see but I have marker on my chin. 

You can see some of it on my cheek.

Are your ready for my super cute photo pose?

Ta-Da!!!

New furniture

Today I shampoo-ed the dining room carpet, it was bad but now looks good.  We had a lovely walk in the afternoon, I started my yoga, hopefully that will improve my circulation.  Shane helped me weed some of the flower beds and helped plant three more snap pea plants.  Tomorrow I have a doctors appt so Shane will be coming with me,. he loves the waiting rooms but doesn't like the exam rooms.  Got to cut grass, it is starting to get high. 

Shane loves to help cut grass with his lawn mower

Shane likes the new sectional

Lots of room to relax

Perfect for stuffed animals too.

Going to re arrange the wall decor and add another light to

Balance the room out.

Fun looking at furniture pics

This is the Shane proof covering

New TV!

Two in one room. one is computer

Shane is most happy with the new layout

Perfect for watching Thomas the Tank engine

The kitty portraits are now in the dining room.

That room is changing to, going to paint the furniture once

spring/summer cleaning is done.

Easter

Today was a rainy day so we stayed home and I cleaned the bathroom and mopped floors while Shane decorated the living room with cereal and giggled running through the house diaper-less.  We had fun.  Shane loves to play with his toy cars and we find them behind the radiator cover, in the window sills, between the cushions of the sectional, on seats of chairs, in the kitchen sink and in the hamper.  Silly Shane.  On to Easter pictures....getting caught up on posts!

The Easter tree

Look what the Easter bunny left Shane

Lovely Easter Tree 

Oh Easter tree, oh Easter tree, how lovely are your branches.

 

Easter bunny left me a fire truck!

Vroom, vroom!

Mommy dressed me up for Easter.

I am being coy right now.

The cute shot

Oh MOM, not the bunny ears!

I don't know about these

Maybe I will try them again
