So tonight after I got done watching my DVR'd shows I needed to go upstairs and finish some work. It was just daylight enough that I could still see GM clearly in his crib. The sight was so funny I had to run and get the camera. After installing new batteries I took these:

Well I haven't posted or taken any pictures in a couple months so I thought I'd snap a couple of my little 2'4 1/4" Monkey for you viewing pleasure. Taken July 15th, 2008.

Water Adventure

Yesterday (May 27th) Casey and I were out back helping the neighbor with a water issue. The irrigation water kept flooding the alley. I was letting George walk around and one minute he was sitting on the ground playing with some rocks and the next minute he was splashing in the water. This kid can move! and he's not even running yet. Oh boy mama is scared. It was a nice day so I let boys be boys and ran to get my camera while he played and daddy dug. He had a blast and naturally got in the way. These are a few of my favorite pictures ( I took 26) and a short video, it's not really good quality, but hey it was taken with my camera.

Birthday Fun For a Boy Turning One!

Well littleman turned one on May 20th and we celebrated with a BBQ on May 24th. The day turned out beautifully. All week the weather had been cold and rainy. Early in the day on Saturday Casey and I got up early to clear out the carport and assemble our new BBQ. We knew if the weather stayed bad, that is where the party would be held...or at least the cooking part. Around 11am the sky cleared and it began to warm up. By time people started showing up, it was a beautiful Spring day.

Here's Casey with his step-dad Roy

This is my MIL Margie with George. That's another one of her son's, Robert in the background

George getting his first taste of orange soda...yum!

Present time, amazingly he wasn't very interested in the whole ordeal.

He got some neat things....check the couch and legos. He also got tons of clothes, some of which will fit him next summer!

CAKE TIME!!!

I made 2 cakes and some cupcakes, all lemon with buttercream frosting. My decorating skills are minimal, but it was fun. My niece Lexie was excited because she got to put the candy pieces on the big cake and the spinkles on the cupcakes. I wanted to do a grasshopper head for the "smash" cake, but decided a silly face was easier and just as cute and edible.

Singing happy birthday

He just loved it!

Licking his hand

He got it all over the place, and actually managed to eat a little cake with his frosting
