3.25.12 spring, the pit, good dad, little red and big bad

Spring. is. here.


Another photo Linc is going to LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE me for but I'm sorry, I'm totally justified here.

We had the Rawlings over Friday to enjoy some hot dogs cooked in the pit. We always have a great time with the Rawlings and this night was no different!






Linc telling us a story. Joe attentively listening.


Nothing like cruis'n with your brother in a pink barbie car on a fine spring day.

I'm not going to lie I find it very attractive when Landino plays with the kids. So you can imagine my raging attraction this day...
Dad aka a foot stool

aka a human trampoline

aka awesomeness

aka a chair

aka a foot rest while I pick my nose. aka best dad ever!

The disaster after dinner one night. I usually clean as I make dinner but this night was not the case. Good thing it was tasty!

We went out to lunch with my mom's side of the family last week. When we were finished we went out side and saw a perfect hill for rolling down.


Linc's new favorite thing. Eating all of the marshmallows from Lucky Charms cereal.

Luke's new favorite thing. Driving. We only let him drive around town. He'll be at least 3 when we start letting him drive on the freeway.

Christine and I had an idea to do a themed photo shoot with our wee ones and so Little Red Riding Hood the Big Bad Wolf was our pick. I love Linc and Polly's little friendship. They are so cute with each other. Here are a "few" of my favorites from that day.

3.18.12 outside, dream come true, flying kits

My dream came true...this past week I was able to do this.

Unfortunately this morning I woke up to this...

but let's forget about that and get back to this, warm breeze blowing through my house and the kids playing outside most of the day.

I love it when I work for Milli because I usually end up going home with one of these babies to beautify my house for a bit.




My finest self portrait.




We fired up the fire pit for the first time this year a few moons ago with our lovely neighbors. It was a great evening. I've missed the pit.

Looking good Craig.


Funny things Linc has said this week...
#1
We had just left Zupas and Linc was upset because I didn't let him get some chips.
Linc: Mom when you tell me no to chips then I'm not going to take you to McDonalds. Sorry.
No Linc no! Anything but that!
#2
Linc: Mom I need some plastic.
Me: Some plastic? Why do you need plastic?
Linc: because I NEEEEEEED it. I just need the plastic!
Me: Linc I'm not sure what you are asking for, do you know what plastic is?
Linc(very frustrated now): I just need the plastic because my lips are needing it!
Me: ohhhh chap stick!
Linc: Yeah that's what I said mom, plllastic.
Linc will surely kill me for this picture when he gets older but I'm sorry it's my job to "document" these sorts of things so he will just have to deal with it.

Nice catch dad!

One of the activities we enjoyed whilest the weatherest was warmest was kite flying. We needed to break in a few of Linc's kites that he had gotten for his birthday, the kid got 4 I think total. I love being together with my little family.
