He can always brighten my day.........

Life tends to hand out lemons more times than not, but thankfully this sweet face can always brighten my day. He is my constant reminder than every once in awhile, we can hit the jackpot.

Welcome to Weebelot....

Welcome to Weebelot..........................

In a far away land (also known as the living room) stands a "tastle" or castle for those that don't speak Chad.... In this castle lives, well, everyone. From baby rubber ducks, to Mickey and the gang, to the Weebles who founded this land. Don't forget a few hotwheels for transportation, and of course every castle needs a hockey goalie....

It is a land of fun, and endless imagination. Hours are spent each evening exploring this castle and the "agater" that lives in the moat.... to you, it may be a plastic castle, to my little guy, it is Weebelot!

Shutterfly Has Made my Holidays a Little Happier.

As most proud mama's love to do, I love to show off my kid! Who wouldn't want to share his adorable face? With a little help from Shutterfly this holdiay season, many of our friends and family will be able to open an envelope to my smiling boy's face. It is sure to put a smile on their face!
There were so many options to choose from. Family photo? Just our boy???? How do I choose? http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/holiday-cards I have never used Shutterfly before, but I found it to be quite simple and painless. Folded? Flat? One picture? Two pictures? The options seemed endless! I really probably shouldn't have clicked past page one, being as indecisive as I am made it hard to pick just one! http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery
With a few simple clicks, and endless debating on which great card to choose, I finally had my card! You should check out all the great items you can create! http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-gifts/photo-mugs , maybe, just maybe, there might be a lucky family member to have a keepsake with Chad's grin........
Now, I have one less thing to worry about for the upcoming holidays. And a great way to share my precious boy with the ones we love.
You to can share the joy that is your family this holiday with everyone you LoVe!

Pure entertainment from a two year old.....

sunglasses, lollipop and a book about trucks, what more could a boy need?
so focused

he insisted on being "in" his mat

"Helping" mommy make dinner.... we think he might be slightly OCD......

Chad has personality coming out his ears, and not a day goes by that he doesn't do or say something to surprise us. He is one very silly boy....

pumpkin painting!

I realize these pictures are a little behind, but better late than never! Chad loves his pumpkins and insisted we not carve them, so we set the little guy to work! In Chad's words they are "bootiful!"

FREE CANDY!!!

Chad had a blast running from house to house...."look guys, i got more candy!"

Ready for Halloween! Only one more week!

He is so proud of his pumpkin, and is a very "scary lion!" his giggly roar is music to my ears!

The Pumpkin Patch

As we all know, October means time for PUMPKINS! We braved the drizzly day a couple of weeks ago, and set out to find the perfect pumpkin. Chad was on a mission, while many were "to dirty" he finally found one that met his expectations, and I must say, is in fact the perfect pumpkin. After lugging it home, and placing it on the front porch, he loves it more everyday! He often feels the need to sit with it for a moment, or give it a hug.... not sure how he will feel about the whole carving of the precious pumpkin! He is all set with his pumpkin and "scary lion" costume, and is patiently waiting to go Trick or Treating!

A Boy and His Ducks.....

A boy and his ducks.... Chad is in love with the ducks at the Lake dock about 1 mile from our house. He would go everyday to feed his friends if he could. Every duck is "Mr. Duck, and he loves them all egually! The smartest ducks know that Chad's little arm can only throw a piece of bread so far and will get right next to him to gobble up all the pieces! After a long feeding, (usually an entire loaf of bread!)Chad must coral his ducks back into the water to see them all swim around. Despite the occasional seagull, or crow coming to pester the ducks and sending them into a frenzied flight around us, it is usually a very peaceful afternoon. You would think being surrounded by ducks would scare most two year olds, but not our little duck boy, he is in his element when amongst his friends.... his Aunt Danielle says he even runs like a duck... I am sure Chad thinks that is a compliment.
A boy and his ducks, simple love.

Seahawks!

We took Chad to his second ever Seahawks game on Saturday. The only other Hawks game he has been to, he was about 6 weeks old. He loved it! He kept yelling "go seahawks!" even after we were home and he was in bed, it was 10:45 and he was in bed yelling "go seahawks". He was really well behaved as usual at the game and had a blast!
