Happy Father's Day!

My Little Man Cub has been so blessed to have so many wonderful men in his life, and Father's day is a wonderful time to stop and reflect on these wonderful men!

First he has his father.... Peter is such an awesome dad. He is working two jobs so that I can stay home to take care of the man cub. But he never complains! He works and comes straight home to be with our little man cub. What an awesome role model!!

Second he has Grandpa Pat. Peter's dad is so good with our little man cub. He never complains when he is fussy; he is willing to walk him for hours on end - which was greatly appreciated during his dairy upset period!!

Third is Grandpa Frank ... my dad was so wonderful to me as a child and he has had no problem expanding that awesomeness to include the little man cub. He is willing to redo all the baby stuff around his house that was in disrepair so that our little man cub can have lots of fun stuff to do at his house.

and last, but definitely not least is his Great-Grandpa. We were so lucky that our little man cub was able to meet his Great-Grandpa before he passed away and we will always use him as an example of a wonderful husband and father so that our little man cub has something to strive for!! 

Happy Fathers Day to all the wonderful Dad's out there working hard and doing their best!!!

That's me in the movie!!

I finally figured out how to get a video on my blog!! I have done it before, but than blogger changed everything and I couldn't figure the new format out. Anyways .. problem solved! Here is a video of our little man cub enjoying the fishes swim by.







update ...  I didn't want it to just be a link, but I can figure out how to make it just appear on my page :(

update 2 ... I figured it out!!!

testing???

I have a new action that is supposed to make blogging easier ... I don't know? here is the pic I hope it turns out okay!

I am so crafty :)

I know that this is a very silly post, but I love crafts!! I saw some super cute sandals at Target, but everybody has them (or at least 2 of my sisters do!). So, I decided to get a little crafty and make my own super cute sandals. Here are the step by step directions ...

1. take boring black sandals

2. get some craft glue

3. and some pretty sparkles :)

4. put them all together ... and you get super cute sandals!!

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming ...

One of the best investments we have made as a family is an Aquarium Yearly pass. Our little man cub loves watching the fish! Here are some cute pictures of hem enjoying the fishes as they just keep swimming :)

P.S. please excuse the blurry pictures, but the lighting situation wasn't the best.

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter!! It was full of family, friends, and lots of fun :) It started on Saturday at Vigil Mass. We got all dressed up and went to the Carmalite Monestary; Michelle took these pictures of us in front of the view from the Monestary.

Easter morning we started at my parents house for breakfast and Easter baskets. After lots of food we headed of to my sister-in-laws house for dinner and an easter egg hunt. Our little man cub had so much fun finding his first easter egg and visiting with cousins!

Bath Time

I have to admit, when we had our little man cub I didn't realize the amount of stuff that comes with a baby. I mean really they are so little and there is so much stuff that goes with them. The carseat, strollers, crib, dressing table, highchair, exercauser, playmat, activity mat, bouncy seat, boopy, swing, bottles, cups, spoons, and the list goes on and on. The truth is you can always come up with something new you need to accommodate your little one. Well, I finally laid down the law ... NO MORE STUFF. Really, we are drowning in stuff!!

Unfortunately our little man cub has grown to big to be bathed in the sink, so we moved him into the bathtub. However, our bathtub is really short, has a track on the edge (hurts to lean on), and he wiggles like crazy in the bath. The consequence being that bath time was torture. It went from a fun relaxing thing for us to a hurried painful experience (my shoulders and back hurt so bad from hunching over). So I caved!! We bought another baby thing. I have to say that this bath seat has saved my life (or at least my back) and it has made bath time so much more fun. He plays and splashes and mommy can just sit back and enjoy him playing!!

Here are some cute pics of out little man cub enjoying his new seat!
