Happy Birthday, Baby Boy!

Yesterday our little man turned 2-years-old! Can you believe it? He is so fun. I would post a really current picture, but I have lost the cord to connect the camera to the computer, so this is what I've got!

We love you, bubbalicious and are so grateful you are part of our family!

Suprise!

It was two weeks ago on a Wednesday night. I had just come home from a Church meeting to find the kids in bed and hubby watching a bit of TV before bed. He pulls out the camera and tells me he took some pictures of Bugs playing dress up. I look, "Oh, how cute!"

Then I arrow to the next picture... wait, remember my baby 5 days ago?

Here is the next picture I saw...

Do you notice the difference? Yup - Daddy decided to buzz his beautiful locks OFF! So SAD! I couldn't believe it. Hopefully he'll have hair by this birthday! Don't worry, I still love both my boys...hair or no hair! :)

Thompson Camping Trip

Here are some pictures of the kids during our camping trip.

This is how the kids looked the whole time! Dirt everywhere, but they loved it!

We took this picture for you, Grandma, by the Scottish thistle!

Kids at Adam's Wedding

Here are a few photos from Adam & Kendra's wedding - June 5, 2009. I know I don't have a picture of the bride and groom yet. I was uploading more but ran into some issues. So, here's part 1 for now...enjoy!

ChEeSe!

"Bubba - smile and say cheese!"

Picture Post

Just a quick post. We're good, just keeping busy. Hope everyone is well!

So much to do, so little time!

I'm going to try and post a little more. Try being the key word. I used to be pretty good with getting things done and organizing my time. But lately I've been feeling a little stretched. So stretched that I just don't want to do anything!

Other than that we're all healthy and pretty happy, I think. Let's see...what have we done lately...

We went to the state fair and Bugs got to ride a pony. Don't you just love the bandaid on her forehead? (No real need, she bonked and needed a bandaid!)

Bubba (almost 11 months) is already learning how to ride sister's big wheel. (Don't worry...DH was close by - he even sent the poor boy rolling down the drive way - he's got good balance!)

Boys will be Boys!

Let me explain where this beetle came from...DD was in our back yard picking currents from our flower garden. We came inside and all of a sudden DD started screaming, shaking, and running. She had a dress on and what fell out of her dress? Why a big huge ugly bug! Needless to say she and I stayed in the kitchen while Daddy and Bubba checked out the bug. Yuck, but adorable picture, huh!?!?

Cousins

My SIL, Steph watched the kids the other day (THANK YOU!). She took some pictures of Bubba and his cousin, Sophie. They are 30 hours apart in age. Check it out here...isn't that so cute!?!?

Ode to Bubba

Well, this meant to be a 6-month thing, but instead it's a 7.5 month thing! :) We just got Bubba's pictures taken. Not that I'm biased or anything, but he could seriously be a little model! What a handsome boy. Here are some shots, along some things about him.

You finally found your toes yesterday - I think your belly was always in the way.

I love how you make yourself laugh. Not just giggle, but force a laugh out. It's so funny.

I love how your face lights up when you see someone you love.

I love those bright blue eyes!

You sit up like a pro and have for about month now.

You love to eat! Not just food, but everything.

If there is something in your arm's reach...you'll grab for it, and it usually get it!

You roll all over the place in your crib, but don't really like to lay down when you're awake - youd rather sit, stand, or jump.

I love how you flap your little arms like a birdie when you want or need someone or something.

I love you!

Bubba loves to JuMp! He squeals and screams with delight.

Bugs loved her Elmo kite. It was a very windy day, however, the wind kept changing directions, so the kite took many nose dives. She loved it anyway!

We went swimming with Grandma (my mom) recently.
It was Bubba's first time in a pool.
He wasn't quite sure what to think.

Bugs was kind of scared until she put on her life jacket and the inner tube - she just floated around the pool the whole time.

Bubba will smile and laugh often for us...but he always has a smile and laugh for Bugs. We just love to watch them interact.

Here's our little guy. He's growing up so fast! I love it when he wakes up and I go to get him - he has the most genuine smile for me. He is my sweet chunker lunker! He's totally a solid guy and we love it!

Daddy

Daddy has the magic touch. He was playing guitar for Bubba and he fell fast asleep. Too bad we had to wake him up for a bath and his PJs! So precious.

Tummy Time

Look at this little guy! He's getting strong and stronger. Way to go, Bubba.

Cousins

My sister-in-law, BlackEyedSue, had her baby girl on 10/31. Here is a picture of the new little cousins the first time they met here on earth - they are two days apart. Isn't my niece adorable? I just love those cheeks! So sweet!
