So this morning started out innocently enough. I got up at 6:00am and started cleaning house...made AJ some strawberry oatmeal...got him up and dressed. At 8:00, we lasso Kallie and kennel her up and load Latte in the car for his grooming appointment. AJ squeals with delight at the idea of a car ride...with the dog! We get to the groomer and Latte heads right in the door as he doesn't recognize the building yet. AJ tags along with his hot wheels. We get Latte all checked in and turn to leave. Then my momma world comes grinding to holt as AJ throws himself on the floor screaming, "MY DOGGIE! MINE! I LOVE THAT DOG!"...in protest. You see at the age of nearly two, he doesn't realize we are going to come back and get the dog...he just knows we got in the car with Latte and WE ARE LEAVING HIM SOMEWHERE!

The Milk Incident...
As AJ ever so gracefully climbed up on the couch this afternoon, his big boy cup of milk in hand...one of his feet caught an invisible pocket of gravity, sending the cup flipping into the air, and soaking both of us and the couch.

I signed up for a class today!
I am so excited! I have owned my Janome sewing machine for...five years now...and never really learned how to use it and take care of it. After fumbling with my own machine at my recent craft day I decided I needed to learn how to actually sew.

Father's Day Tradition
I love traditions! Each year for Father's Day AJ and I always get Andy a daddy book. I started this tradition three years ago when I was still pregnant with Addison. It is fun to see them read their daddy and son books together at night before bed time, and I never have to fuss with trying to figure out what to get for Father's Day. Here is our small collection of Father's Day books.

A Favorite Summer Dinner
By the time one season starts nearing the end, I start eagerly/impatiently/irritably anticipating the beginning of the next season. By the fall, I'm ready for Christmas and curling up by the fire on a snowy day...by the end of winter, I'm ready for spring colors, flowers, and being outside...by the end of spring, I'm ready for flip flops and the smell of sun tan lotion...by the end of summer, I'm ready for pumpkins, sweaters, and crisp cool air. BUT one of the things I most look forward to as the seasons change are my favorite seasonal foods! I get tired of the same old dinner menu rotations after awhile.
