Look who else thinks ambulances and fire trucks are pretty cool!

HO HO HO!!!

Look who's getting ready for Santa!

Donuts & biscuits after church make us happy!

What makes you happy?

This cutie and I had such a nice night tonight.

Daddy (who was not feeling well) and Jaeger Ray went to bed early and Dane & I got cooking.
I found a wonderful lasagna recipe that we made about two weeks ago, but it was super time consuming. So, tonight, I enlisted help.

Maybe Dane will actually give it a try for dinner tomorrow night since he put his heart and soul into helping me make it.

Another solid reason why it's important to let the clothes sit on the floor...


They act as a pillow for your son! If I had been responsible (aka - not lazy!) my poor son would not have had something to rest his sweet head on. Thank goodness for my laziness.

*And yes, Dane is sleeping in our room on the floor. Dane gave up his big boy bed for the floor in his own room and then when I came back from Anchorage he was sleeping in our room on the floor!

Guess who found a new toy?


He spent about an hour climbing in and out of there this morning! He's pretty resourceful - Dane never even thought to open that drawer when he was Jaeger's age. ;)

Sunday Snapshots!

Jaeger Ray's First Haircut!
I can't believe he is already to this milestone (and to think we waiting until Dane was nearly 2 years old for his first haircut!!! Click HERE for the reminder.)

Here's how it went down tonight...

The Mohawk

The Mullet

The Bribery!

The Blending

Ta da!

The Final Product!

Not too shabby, if I do say so myself. ;)

This is what I came home to from my Reading Conference in Anchorage (otherwise known as "Mommy Vacation!") WOWZA - I should go out of town more often. :) Loved it all - the flowers, the wine and especially that sweet face in the background so excited to see his Mommy.


This adorable face greeted me at about 2 am and I happily sprinted into his room to love on my sweet Jaeger Ray.

I had a wonderful trip to Anchorage, but I was more than ready to come back to be home with my boys. Just a few days away really can recharge your batteries and I am thankful for a few days of me time (even if it was work! Which, by the way, was a pretty awesome conference!)

Well, the sun has definitely disappeared and the rain & wind have arrived! It's been downright nasty out the last few days. We still managed to get out yesterday despite the sideways rain coming down. Juneau had a Play For Free Day hosted by the Parks and Rec Department where they had all their facilities open for free to the public. We decided to head to Mt. Jumbo for their toddler open gym time. The boys had a blast even though we had to elbow our way in. We even left with a giraffe balloon animal which was a highlight for Dane. We then decided to stop by Project Playground on the way home to see what they had and we certainly didn't have to elbow our way in there! I think the above picture shows why. We managed to stay long enough for a bowl of chili (which Jaeger Ray LOVED!) and a cup of hot chocolate. But after about 5 minutes, Dane was ready to go home. And quite frankly, so was I!

This is now Dane's preferred spot to go potty! That's what camping will do for you. (Thankfully, I caught him before he wanted to go poopie!)

Best part about Sundays

......chocolate donuts after church! :)

Jaeger got to try a donut for the first time today and if you look carefully, you can see the remnants on his tongue. I'd say he liked it! ;)

Like father, like son!
And for those of you that haven't seen Dane's "weed wacker" it's actually a giant upside down yellow flower.
Isn't a two year old's imagination fantastic?

Kissing the Forget Me Nots.

It's almost done!

Dane is 75% closer to the perfect backyard.
Stay tuned for all the details. :)

Isn't that the sweetest face?
Besides being sick, we had a fantastic weekend!
(Thankfully, it's just me that's sick.)
Kids Workshop at Home Deep, visited a petting zoo, yummy samples at Costco, a trip to the park, sunny afternoons in the sandbox and riding around the front yard in our wagon.
Oh, and I got to take an awesome nap today - thanks Daddy!
Life couldn't get much better than this.
