I wish I understood how to blog- Part 2

Richard with his first ever Breakfast In Bed!
Crunchitize me Capt'n!

Richard & Michael having man time, trying out the super old BB gun.

I think you should refrain from calling something a gun if it can't even knock over a bottle at this close range, but a gentle breeze can!

GO KARTS (w/ Michael & Heidi... apparently pregos aren't allowed, how sad)

Us with our nursery class.
(I think we're getting too much practice before the 'real thing,' he thinks snack time is a Sabbath blessing! haha)

I wish I understood how to blog- Part 1

Baby Shower #1- Me with the 'Diaper Cake'. What a cool idea!

The finished product of our baby blanket efforts, how super cute! (now if only I could figure out how to put these blogging pictures in order!)

(Just when you think he can't get any better looking!)
It's too bad you can't read the quote above the mirror which says
"You're going to turn some heads!" Isn't that the truth!

He's like a... wait... he IS a kid in a candy store! Oh the joy!

Feeding the cannibalistic jellybean ducks jellybeans in Beantown.

Richard & I playing The Game of Life.
A little scary thinking about how accurate it was!

Richard at Boston's Museum of Science. What a Stud!
(Not quite sure if I should be concerned for his obsession with math?!?)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD!!!
The perfect Whipped Cream, Strawberry, & Creme Puff concoction
for the boy who didn't want a birthday cake.
Hope you had an amazing day babe!
