Jump N Party

Jump N Party! We had a family fun day at the bounce house. Even J and I got to have some fun playing on the inflatable slides and toys.
J's making a face because his socks were sticking to the slide as he was coming down.I love this silly face! "Ah really mom... a naked bathtub picture.. really"How cute is this shorty robe! *whoot whoot*
Every morning he wraps himself in this blanket I made for him and wonders around the house waking up. Makes me happy his favorite blankie is one I made for him. =)
Our poor little Nala isn't doing very well. After several tests the vet thinks she has Intestinal Lymphangiectasia. Which is when protein is being lost from the body through the intestine and/or stomach. Small terrier breeds, particularly the Yorkshire terrier,
appear predisposed to the development of lymphangiectasia. Nala is an 11 year old Yorkshire Terrier. She's now on 2 medications and special food. Hopefully this will help her. We could use all the prayers we can get for our little princess though. We go back to the vet in a month for more tests to see if the medication is helping or not. Thankfully she's not in any pain right now.

Staci and Tony are getting married!

Congratulations! Uncle Tony asked Aunt Staci to marry him! (now he'll officially be Uncle Tony!) We are so excited for you guys! Welcome to the family Tony!!! =)

Our New Pet, Conrad!

Our new pet... Conrad the Betta Fish! I was going to leave it a surprise until J got home Sunday, but apparently he reads my blog. LOL He was pretty concerned that I bought a cat. J likes animals, but he's not fond of animals in the house. Especially cats! I've been trying to talk him into a kitty for a while now since our little man loves kitties. No such luck though. J wasn't going for the idea of a fish tank either... but he doesn't seem to mind a bowl and 1 betta fish. I had to finally break down and tell him what our pet was so he could sleep tonight. Poor guy is going to be nervous the next time he travels... who knows what he'll come home to! =)"What is this?"
"Hi little fishy"
"What are you doing in there? Hold still so I can see you."

A day in the life of my little man

A day in the life of my little man... we started the day with some breakfast. Which for my little guy that consists of him eating half his meal in his high chair and the other half while he's running around. "Got things to do mom! Have to start burning these calories!!" Then it's time to do dishes. "Yep, this one's squeaky clean"
My little helper
Brush our hair and teeth
Then we're off to run some errands. Post Office to mail Grandma and Grandpa Charette a package, the store for groceries, a surprise stop, pick up some lunch and then it's home again.
So, what was the "surprise stop" I mentioned in our errands?
Well, we have a new member in our family!!!
I can't say what, since this is a surprise for daddy too! He gets home on Sunday night and I'll post what our surprise pet is after he gets to meet it.
*any guesses on what our new pet is?*

Fun with Grandma and Grandpa

We had a tough week! J was in Mississippi all week, came home for the weekend and now he's in Missouri until Tuesday. Lil' C caught a cold, ear infection and he's cutting 2 teeth AND a molar. Poor little guy wasn't feeling good. But Grandma and Grandpa spent the night Monday and helped cheer him up! Plus it gave me some time to study. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!!!
Lil' C had so much fun playing with Grandma! Piggy back rides, story time, playing with his little people barn, patty cake... checking out what Grandpa's doing on the laptop. Lets put together more puzzles Grandpa!
What a nice way to end a rough week! Thanks for putting smiles on our faces Grandma and Grandpa! =)

Dinner at Staci and Tony's

My sleepy guy waking up. He's like his daddy... it takes him a few minutes to fully wake up in the mornings.
Babysitting Ryan againOur 'almost' date night out. It was for J's annual formal work party, but it ended up not working out and we had to stay home. Bummer! Is it just me or does my little guy look MORE and MORE like daddy every day? I swear he's J's carbon copy!
Dinner and games at Staci and Tony's house! Tony made some delicious homemade chili, Staci made some yummy corn bread, I made some tasty stuffed mushrooms and we played the game Catch Phrase. The boys won 3 out of the 4 games. Good job guys! Below Tony was reading Lil' C the kitty cat book they bought for him. He loves animals!
Oh what fun it is to clomp around in daddies big shoes. LOL
Playing Catch Phrase, while Lil' C is playing his barnyard game on dad's phone and Rocco is pouting in the chair. What a sad little face on such a cute little puppy. He's not used to being left out.
Little buddies =)

Mexican with Kevin

We went out for Mexican with J's good friend Kevin. After dinner we stopped by the mall so Jasper could play in the fun center again. I ran around with Jasper so J and Kevin could visit a little longer.
He loves the slide. I think he must have gone down it about a million times. Wore me out! I kept my hand behind him when he was climbing up the stairs... just in case he slipped since they were pretty slick and then when he got to the top I had to sprint around to the front of the slide, dodging all the little kids on my way, and then he would grab my hands and slide down.
There was a little girl there with a purple balloon and every time he saw her he would point to her balloon and get all excited. When it was time for them to leave her mom and her gave the balloon to Jasper, since they could tell he really wanted a balloon. This was wonderful since J and I were trying to think of somewhere in the mall that we could buy him a balloon. He was pretty happy about his balloon.
