Our day of shopping

I'm sure you're all expecting an awesome post because I've been absent for a few days! Truth is...I've got nothing! Sorry!

Today I went shopping with my mother-in-law. Kalvin now has some summer essentials! Bring on the warm weather!! I noticed that it's very hard to spend any money on myself lately but I have no problems buying other people things. I think this is the exact reason many moms get in a plain-Jane rut! It's so much easier to put everyone else first...especially your kids!!

Here's Kalvin's new clothes. A few of those things were 80% off at Macy's! (That's why there's such a random mix of things!!!)

Why yes...these are pink shorts for Kalvin!! Aren't they awesome? I'm super excited for them!

I also have no problem buying our dog things! She actually really needed this jewelry though, I swear! She didn't have any tags on her collar! The back side has our phone number!

It seems like Kalvin spends most of the day napping so I haven't gotten any pictures of him lately! That will change tomorrow..I promise!!

A girl can dream...

The last few weeks I've been looking at more house plans. Dan and I REALLY want to build a new house. Dan is seriously hoping to break ground this fall. I came across this picture today and fell in love! Not that we'd ever be able to afford a room like this but isn't it awesome?!?!?! I imagine this room to be an upstairs bonus room where we'd keep craft supplies as well as our kid toys. I also love the cork flooring! The whole room just makes me smile!!

A room like this is definitely not in our budget and I'm a much more practical person than this. I can still dream, right? Ohhh my goodness would I love to get my hands on those shelves!! I would be in organizing heaven!!!!!

OK...I've come down from my cloud and I'm back to reality. RATS! :)

One more quick update... Kalvin has been a sleeping champ! He's been sleeping a solid 11 hours at night PLUS two 2hour naps in the day. I've been so bored lately! I need a hobby!

Kalvin LOVES Vera!

Vera is so gentle with Kalvin... and Kalvin is not very gentle with her! She will sit through any and all of Kalvin's rough pets. I seriously can't keep these two apart! They are like magnets!

Here's my photo-shoot from this morning:

And a very Happy 33rd Birthday to my oldest sister, Shawn!!! Love you!!

A normal Tuesday morning...

Happy Tuesday everyone! Here's what's happening here right now:

Kalvin is still pointing at everything!

Poor Vera is getting her lips pinched by Kalvin. She's so sweet that she doesn't seem to mind.

Kalvin is being silly and doing mouth toots/blowing bubbles.

YAY, Vera calmed down and is finally laying and not trying to lick Kalvin!

My Busy Baby Boy!

Kalvin loves his room with his music playing and all his fun toys! He's gotten so busy lately that it's getting harder to take a smiling picture of him!! He's always on the move! Here are some pictures of Kalvin playing! I had to unattach this toy from his crib because he was waking up early from naps and night-time just to play with it! Silly boy!

He has now started pointing at things! The things he loves pointing at include: his toys, his food, and our puppy!!

Oh, you know I can't resist these chubby fingers! (and this awesome vintage toy!!)

Where is spring???

The sun is shining!! However,it would be more beautiful if THESE--------> weren't in the way of my view!

Aren't they creepy??

I think I need spring...NOW!!

Roller Derby!

This weekend Dan and I decided we needed out of our house!! We thought it was the perfect weekend to visit out friends in South Dakota. We invited ourselves over and tagged along with them :) I didn't take too many pictures but I did get a few from the Roller Derby game we went to! Kalvin was a little unsure of the noise and all the people at first but I think he really enjoyed it too! Then we went back to their house and played a competitive game of SpongeBob Monopoly.

We had a great time and can't wait to see our friends again! They were such gracious hosts!! Our visits seem to be getting fewer and further between...I hope we can change that!

Here are the roller derby pics:

Theresa and Kalvin enjoying the action!

Don't they look so thrilled?? I swear...we really did have fun!!!! hehe!

See! There's a smile! We were having fun!

One more quick note: Kalvin slept through the night for the first time Friday night!!! He is loving his crib! He slept from 9:00pm-7:15am!!! Our little baby is growing up!
