Terrible pre-twos?

So I started to do another post with all of Wades cute little words and sayings, which I will probably post at some point. However, after Wade woke up from his nap and proceded to introduce us to the full (?) extent of his new-found tantrums, I thought that might be something a little more, shall we say fun, to blog about...

He now likes to sit on the floor, hit it and slide down to his belly (a much better position to kick your feet and pound your fists) . He then will scream and scream and scream and scream. Occasionally changing the pitch and looking around to see if anyone notices. Generally Mark and I position ourselves out of view of him, but so we can watch the show and laugh. At one point Mark said, "Is it terrible that we think this is so funny?" I doubt it. Better laugh than cry, right?

After talking with Mom, she gave me some good advice between chuckles and bursts of laughter, "Tantrums came on suddenly with you too. The next time he does it, can you get it on video for us, though?" Thanks, Mom. I'll try, but some how the video camera isn't on the top of my list during these "special" moments...

Mother's Day (a little out of order)

I had a WONDERFUL 2nd Mother's Day. Mark and Wade decided to get some beautiful lights to put in our little sitting area out back. I guess Wade even played a part in picking them out when he ooohed and aaahed over them at the store. They light up the yard just enough to be able to relax outside at night, but not feel like you are in a football arena.

We went to lunch at a nice golf course/restaurant with Maryanne, Dave, Tim, Shelly, Greg, Annabelle & Haley. The girls sat in high chairs for the first time and Wade sat still for the longest I've seem him sit at a restaurant. All in all, the kids were great! I have noticed that our trips out to eat have mysteriously gotten shorter and shorter though... :)We took pictures afterwards (which he was having no part of) in front of the beautiful scenery.

Hello out there...

It has been awhile since I've last posted anything. That's because I've had no time to breathe, let alone take pictures, let alone get on the computer... So if you've sent me an email recently (or not so recently), sorry! My inbox is now up to 1,308 new emails, not including 1240 in the SPAM folder (sigh)...

On the bright side, summer vacation is in 4.5 days (not that I'm counting)! The weather here is getting warmer and I love my beautiful sitting area in the backyard to enjoy the summer nights! Here are some things Wade's been up to so far...

Crusin' around in my hot ride

Playing in the water with Daddy.
Although I think he likes it just as much as me...

Wearing anyone's shoes but mine

Sometimes without pants :)
