Michigan

Granted the reason we were in Michigan in the first place was a rather unpleasant one Grandma Garner gave us poor snow deprived southeners just that. Lots of snow. And I mean lots. I'm roughly 5ft tall and the snow came up to my knees.

It was beautiful. It sparkled like diamonds when the sun hit it. There was this sense of serenity all around Caro just because of the snow.

I love this picture

This picture just makes me smile. I wish I had one of Brayden like this when he was that little.

Ta Da!

Brayden got a haircut, hence the ode to his beautiful curls!

A boy and his puddle

We had a nice little rain today that allowed puddles to form in our parking lot and Grandma thought that it was a perfect time to let Tater play in the puddles.


There was one puddle that we now will call "Lake Tater" simply because it was huge. Oh he loved that puddle the best!
On a completely different note I FINALLY figured out my manual settings on my camera. We are still playing around but I found the setting that best works with me and everything.

I still cant get over it

 

I still can't believe that Tater is walking. It is so cute and he'll just come running to you. Ugh it makes my heart melt. And what is even cuter is when he has on his sandles. It makes him look so grown.

Completely random post I know :)

My new toy :)

Brad bought me a new vacuum yesterday. Mine bit the dust literally and well wouldn't suck up crap. So we had some errands to run in town any ways so we added a stop to Wal Mart. My only demand was a pet hair remover vacuum because Sophie sheds, BAD, and my beige carpet was kinda black from her.


Isn't it pretty? So light weight compared to the 8 year old brick I was pushing and actually it somewhat moves forward on its own.
So after Brad put it all together he told me to give it a whirl. I vacuumed that area right behind the vacuum in the above picture. Its not even 10ftx3ft and I sucked up the below picture. EWWWWWW.

I had even vacuumed the day before and I knew then that my old one still worked. I guess just not that well.

Needless to say the carpet in there looks FABULOUS!

Rub a dub dub Aslynn is in the tub

Aslynn got her first "big girl" bath on the 5th. Her umbilical cord fell off on the 3rd but with the festivities of the 4th it didn't happen then. Hers took about a week. Brayden's took two weeks so I was a little surprised when hers just fell right on off.

Bathing her was so different. Right now I am used to the massive Tater who doesn't much like to sit still so I end up wrestling a 21lb chunk for a bath myself. But bathing Aslynn was like holding air. I had to be so gentle and that required some serious focus lol.

4th of July fun

Brayden wanted to scope out what Hannah was eating. By the time the night was over he had had two baths. He managed to dump a bowl of ice cream all over him and Toni as well as dump her Mt Dew all over him later that night.

This is how Little Miss spent her first holiday. She was quite content just sleeping away in Amy's arms. Here is when she ventured outside while everyone else was in the pool.

Brad's cousin Zach just absolutely adores Brayden and he had the best time just playing with him in the pool.

spaghetti

I thought that Aunt NiNi would appreciate this post :) She was lovely enough to bring us stuff to make spaghetti for dinner last night.

Now anyone who really knows me when it comes to Brayden eating, I am anti mess. If it is ooey and gooey I will feed it to him. Well, this time I decided to let Brayden do the feeding. I cringed through every part of it and he quickly got a bath right after.

But this did allow me to get some pictures of my messy tater.
