Vegetables!

Green Beans!!!! They are baked with sea salt, and he still didn't like them. He is so anti-veggies that it makes me crazy!

The joys of parenthood!

Cyrus cracks me up, all the time. But, this weekend he was particularly funny. First, I understand that if you are not a parent you may not find the humor in this post so I apologize for that but I have to share.
Cy was hanging out in his room on Saturday morning quietly (which is never really a good sign), he then shuffles to his doorway and began to cry. I could tell by the way he was standing that he probably had a pee accident in his PJs so I went over to him and told him not too worry and that it happens. But, I could defintely smell that it might be something other than pee.  So, I patted his bottom to see if there was anything else in there and I couldn't feel anything. So, then I noticed that it had ROLLED out of his pants down by his ankle! Oh my God. Brad was gagging and I was cracking up hysterically!!

Secondly, Cy was running around his playroom grabbing his butt saying "ow ow ow". He got his very first wedgie! I had to explain that he needed to untuck his underwear from his heiny. What a crack up.

Pizza & Ice Cream Social

Cy and I went to the Pizza & Ice Cream social at Steward tonight. It was so much fun! We had some cheese pizza and shared a scoop of Oreo ice cream:) We played frisbee and ran around the lacrosse field for about an hour before heading home. There were a number of puddles on the sidewalk on the way to the car and Cy had to splash through each one of them:) I figured, what the heck, there will come a time in too few years that he won't want to do that anymore:(

We had a great time, I just love hanging out with my little man!!

Children's Museum

Cy and I had a date night at the Children's Museum on Friday night. That place is SO fun and so science oriented, I love it:) Cy always has a great time, and so do I:) He rode the Carousel for the first time on this trip, he thought that was great!!

The New "Do"!

Skylar and Henry got their summertime haircuts:) They are looking good and feeling good!! I am feeling good b/c this is going to drastically cut down on the hair in our house, therefore my sweeping time! Yay. I am going to have to get them groomed every 3 - 4 months I think, now that there is no real winter to contend with.

Little Fishy

We took Cy to the pool at the JFF on Sunday because it was raining and we wanted to get out of the house. This was the first time that I actually didn't get in the pool, I had been wet and cold all day to that point from the Muddy Buddy and I wasn't in the mood to get wet one more time. So, I sat on the side and read my book while the boys swam. And, Cyrus picked his head UP out of the water all by himself and took a breath. His very first solo swimming breath at 2 and 1/2 years old. He is awesome! I am so happy, yes, he's a good swimmer but I am happy because we're getting to the point where I have to worry less and less about him in the pool as he is learning to self arrest which is HUGE! I am so proud of my boy:)

Village Green Fair

VGF is an annual event at Collegiate and it is awesome! There were bouncy houses, games, rides, face painting, yummy food, and independent retailers gathered for the weekend at Collegiate for a rockin' time. Cyrus had a BLAST! We had to drag him away kicking and screaming at around 12:00 for his nap. I am certain he would have stayed all day!!

Happy Day!!!

Cy was very excited about all the different bouncy houses to play on!

 The Cake Walk!!

 Cy won us a beautiful and delicious cake ;)

 There was also an ice cream truck...what a great day:)

 Sprinkles!! Yum:)

The airplane ride, Cy nearly fell asleep while it swung him around.

We had a wonderful day here today:)

Richmond Muddy Buddy

Creighton Anders and I participated in the Richmond Columbia Muddy Buddy Bike & Run race on Sunday. It is a 7 mile adventure race with alternating biking and running between 5 different obstacles. Creighton and I were a good pair and had an awesome time. The weather was perfect, if by perfect I mean cold and rainy. It was MUDDY, just like I like it! Creighton and I were team "Crushin' It" and we totally did crush it. We finished in 5th place and got a cool trophy:)

Richmond Squirrels!!

Our first Richmond Squirrels Baseball game!! We had a blast:) I see many more games in our future.

EmmaGeorge Birthday Party!

We went to Mary Mumford Playground to celebrate Emma and George Anders 4th and 2nd birthdays. What a great place to have a party:) It was so fun and laid back, the kids had a great time:) We will have to remember this for Cy's 3rd birthday in October;)
