My baby had to have 5 (yes FIVE) shots on Monday.  One on each arm, one on her left leg, and two on her right.

Yet, she seems unfazed, doesn’t she?

Summertime is finally here!  I’m so excited! 

Here is a pic of the first bout of warm weather we had (couple weeks ago).

So………… (this isn’t going to be so wordless)

Summer decided to show up for a whole day and a half over the weekend (yay) before turning back to overcast on Monday and then rain on Tuesday (boo).  However, since the weekend was so nice, we decided to head over to a new-found park about 5 minutes from my house.  Said park has this water “pad” which consists of a bunch of water spouts shooting up for kids to play in.

My adorable child, Konnor, is terrified of the water.  He will NOT go in a pool that is more than a foot deep, and sometimes even a bath petrifies him.  We haven’t gone swimming the last two summers, so finding this park with the “water pad” was really a nice find.  Konnor will be able to enjoy the water when it’s hot without too much anxiety over a pool.

Anyways.  Lol.  Rambling much?  Gah!  So the following pic is Konnor over the weekend smacking the water around.  Hehe!

Here is my handsome little man playing in the water during one of the two days of summer we have had this year.  Seriously, since September, the first day to reach 80 degrees here in Oregon was on Saturday…… What… The…. Funky chickens?!?!!?

Happy Birthday to my sweet sweet baby, Ariana!

She turned one last Friday, and so we had her birthday party over the weekend.  The following picture will give you an idea of how all THAT went down…………….

She didn’t touch her cake.
She didn’t care about her presents.
She did eat some pizza.
Didn’t care about who was there.
And who had the bright idea of singing?!

Ariana’s top right tooth is coming in and, apparently, having a birthday party during that phase of teething was a really bad idea.

I remember growing up, these were always my favorites.

If you could blow all the little petals off the flower in one giant breath, the wish you made prior to blowing would come true.

I learned two neat-0 tricks on Photoshop today.  One, you see above you.  The other, you see below you. 

Yes, I learned to put a picture inside of a shape.  Probably not the coolest thing you can do in Photoshop, but hey.. I thought it was neat!  So get over it! :P

Happy Wednesday!!!

This has two different meanings.

One, laundry day.  Notice how the cutie patutie doesn’t match – LOL.

Two, her new trick.  Ariana, in an attempt to possibly stand, does this tee-pee thing.  Booty in the air. HAHA!

So I understand this is suppose to be Wordless Wednesday, but for the love, I can’t help myself.
You see, I had this amazingly adorable picture of my kiddos passed out on the couch.  It was adorable, and I knew that it was my WW picture.  No doubt in my mind.
Until I was uploading pictures onto Shutterfly and Ariana was getting really pissed on the floor.  Picking her up, she sat contently on my lap at the computer.  For a moment.  Then, she decided she wanted to Tweet too.  And Tweet she did, that little bugger. :)
After her keyboard bashing, we may or may not have had to restart the computer to get the monitor to work correctly.  And I may or may not have to figure out how to fix the internet screen size.  Still wondering why I don’t get a taskbar for my different windows at the bottom of the screen.
Whoops!  Bright side?  Daddy can’t get mad at his little angel!!
