New Kid on the Block

Gambit got to be a visiting student at Mammie's preschool and he had so much fun. This kid loves to make new friends and socializing. He also loves music. Adele and Daughtry are his current faves. Ah...a man of my own heart!

Bed Head, Nah Nu, and Monet

Rocket is 22 months old and growing up fast. I'm amazed at how much he's talking and trying so hard to keep up with his big brothers. His hair is getting a bit long, so sometimes we wake up to some interesting bedhead.

Rocket calls popcorn "Nah Nu" and asks for it all the time. Antonio got me an air popper for christmas a few years ago and we are finally putting it to good (and frequent) use. Rocket's diet staples are yogurt (which he says by clicking his tongue, so funny) and Nah Nu. See how excited he gets with the bowl in his lap?

He's also discovered the joy of coloring. I think he's got a great eye for color. He thinks the white trim in the house could use some color and has added his own artistic touch to it in several places. Magic erasers are wonderful things.

Five and a Half and on a Roll!

He's full of spice, spunk, and all things cute. My Gambit.

Three safely restrained boys on our road trip to Spokane. And one happy momma who enjoyed the drive in silence.

This was an awkward angle to get a picture, but Rocket is rear facing in his carseat.

Ninja's Achievement - May 2011

I forgot to post this last year. For Arbor Day, all the elementary schools in the area had a drawing contest. Each child was to draw a picture of what trees do for us and one child was selected as a "winner" from each grade. Ninja won for his grade (kindergarten) at his school. He was given a medal from the town mayor and school superintendent, and his picture (along with the other winners) was displayed in our town's downtown courtyard.

His picture says "Trees give terrific gifts".

Receiving his medal.
