I'm Not The Only One...

That loves the new sofa...

The Cutest

One of my favorite parts of the day is when I get to Candace's to pick up Aidan. He's always so excited to see me and always has something new to show me from school.  He was so proud of this crown!!!

Scout's Life

Scout has settled in to a pretty nice life around here.  He's still not allowed on the furniture but I bought him a bed that we drag around the house for him to sleep on.  At least it started out as just a bed...

Polka Dot dog bed.  Apparently it's too big for him because he has grown and look how tiny he looks on it!

 Someone (I'm not naming names...COUGH Adam) gave him a pillow and a throw off the sofa.

 He loves it. I'm glad he's cozy. I'm not glad my husband gave him my favorite chenille throw and that now I freeze while watching TV.

We bought him two really nice plush, squeaky dog toys.  One is a chipmunk that we now call "Chippy". Scout lives and dies for Chippy.

 Last week Scout made the grave mistake of chewing up not one, but three of Aidan's toy horses (Aidan wasn't happy) and well let's just say R.I.P. Chippy.  Or one of his legs anyways.  This is Scout after Chippy was returned missing an extremity.  He's so upset. Aidan said "that will teach him!"

A quick pic of the boys around here.  Aidan insisted on having those Christmas tree boxers from JCrew kids. They are like 5 sizes to big but he sags wears them to bed. 

So anyways, I think Scout is mostly happy here. With the exception of "the Chippy incident".  Thankfully he has a squirrel all in one piece that he new tosses in the air and catches.  

Does everyone say "my dog is just so smart?" Because I don't want to be that Mom.

Shopping Buddy

Poor Aidan I drag him everywhere with me.  God knows I love to shop and that little man has done his fair share of it with me.  We were in Marshall's recently and I mentioned to him that I was looking for a tote bag to put in the car to carry the iPad in etc.  He was trying to move the process along by helping me find something. 

 

"Mommy. What about this one? It's our favorite color purple."

 "And look on the back it even has your name!" 

He is hilarious!

The Newest Love of My Life

My very best friend Candace,  her husband Clay and their son Cole, welcomed a new member to their family!  Meet Mason Luke!!!  I am so in love! I like to visit the hospital when everyone else has gone home so I can have them all to myself! Ha!

I took a few shots of Mason...

I mean isn't he the cutest EVER?

I loved every second I got to spend with him tonight.

I got to change his first dirty diaper and even that was exciting!

I just love him so much! He's perfect!

Welcome to the world Mason Luke! I love you!!!

Rainy Days

It's been raining a lot around here lately! I don't really mind because I get to spend my time cuddled up with Aidan on the sofa watching daytime TV movies.

One day last week he had a bad case of cabin fever so I dressed him in his rain gear and sent him out in the rain!  I think he thought I was loosing my mind letting him get wet AND dirty.  I of course stayed inside in took pictures through our glass door.  He had a great time!

Adam was thrilled when he got home that he had jumped in the puddle in our bark mulch until it was all over the side walk.  Ha!

 That tiki torch and I had a long talk about photo bombing later that afternoon.

Monster Truck Rally

Since Adam is working so much, Aidan and I are pretty much on our own these days.  I have been trying to fill our time together with fun stuff to do.  This weekend last minute I decided we would go to the Monster Truck Rally that was in town at the Arena.

I purchased some inexpensive seats in the upper level (that ended up being front row and PERFECT), a couple pairs of ear plugs upon recommendation of everyone I spoke to and we were set! We definitely stuck out like sore thumbs. Aidan in his button down and sweater and I with my trouser jeans and Louis Vuitton bag. Somewhere in the fine print we missed the "wear camo anything" bit. We tried to blend a little better by purchasing all the Grave Digger paraphernalia we could get our hands on during intermission.

It was definitely an experience. One that was on my list of things I never wanted to do should do once. Aidan and I were both a little out of our element at first but they started speaking our language via four wheel racing and there was no turning back. We may have even cheered Grave Digger on until our throats hurt.

 Ready for Date Night!

 

A little dark.

 This was the "Cool Bus".

 Ready to race!

 

I thought Aidan was going to witness his first death when this happened but apparently rolling over in your monster truck "ain't no thing". 

 Maybe I should have tucked his collar in??
