I have the cutest nephew EVER! Tonight we all went out to dinner with some friends because I was going to take a few pics of our friend Katie who is expecting in January and I'm going to follow her pregnancy including the delivery (hopefully).
When we were waiting for our food to get there...we were teaching Edwin how to do peekaboo...I was sitting there thinking...oh how cute. Then I remembered...duh...I have my camera!! So here's a few cute pics.....I love this little boy so much!! :)
I saw this on another blog and thought I'd try it out. Go to wordle.net to make your own. Big surprise that my biggest word from my blog would be Anthony! :)
I figured my blog readers needed some entertainment today..... so here's a peak at Cowboy Anthony and Cowboy Daniel from this a.m.....
Well it's not quite a whole day, but just for fun I wanted to document (in pictures) a regular ole day around here. I hope you don't mind a little picture overload because I was having fun taking pictures just for me (and my family) instead of for other families. I definitely wan to do this again soon.
It was the first Saturday of the month, so that meant going to Home Depot for the Kids Workshop. This month was a bird house. We haven't been in almost 6 months and Anthony had definitely missed it. He insisted that he could do it all by himself, but Daddy ended up helping some.
Check out his tongue - when he concentrates real hard, that tongue hangs out....too funny.
All done!
After Home Depot, It was time to get something to eat. We went to Hibachi Express. It's Japanese food that is oh so yummy! (Look close and you can see me too!)
Here's my child showing you the food he's chewing..lol
Then he didn't want me to take his picture, so he thought if he laid down I wouldn't be able to see him....WRONG..
Next it was time to go to Lowes foods (I didn't tell you our day was super exciting..haha...but we enjoyed it). We had to get stuff for dinner. Grandma and Pappy were coming over for Ribs, Corn on the Cob and Stewed Apples that my wonderful hubby made - soooo good!
You should've seen all the people that were looking at me funny because I was taking so many pictures - but I didn't care...I enjoyed it!
Anthony insisted on weighing his bananas...they were 7 pounds! I guess it's cuz he was putting some of his weight on it, huh? 
The fun continues at the (Sams Club) gas station. Any time Brian gets out of the car (to run into the store or to pump gas etc) Anthony always climbs into Brian's seat and "hides." Then when Daddy gets in the car he pretends to scare him and Daddy pretends to sit on him - hey..it's their thing. So one of my favorite pictures of Anthony a year ago was one that I took when he was in the front seat hiding from Daddy so I took another one today. It'll do. haha
Yuck - $41.00 and that didn't even fill our Doge half way....
Next we had to go to Sams Club. When we looked at the Ribs at Lowes Foods they were kind of expensive and Brian insisted they would be cheaper at Sams (they weren't)....so we went over there. On the way, I told Brian it would be cool if we ran into somebody we knew so I could take their picture for my little project. We had only been in the store about 3 minutes when we ran into our good friends Betsy and her daughter Bonnie (her son Tommy was around there somewhere). So I told them what we were up to and said to say CHEESE!
Then Anthony needed to go to the restroom - big surprise (he always has to go..lol). So I went and browsed the book section and picked up a couple. I love reading for education and for fun and I don't do it nearly enough.
I met up with the boys and then we got the ribs (they weren't cheap - oh well - they were really really really good, so they were worth it!)
Last stop - our favorite smoothie place - Smoothie King. Like everything else, prices have gone up on smoothies too so it's a real treat to get one.
So when we got home we unpacked the stuff we had picked up...Anthony went to Papa and Grandma's house for a bit and Brian went in the garage....so I folded some laundry (booooring). Then my ankle starting hurting pretty bad (because I had been walking most of the day so far and then standing to fold laundry) so I decided to sit down and read my awesome new book. I ended up doing that most of the afternoon (I rarely take any "me" time these days because I'm always working) so I savored every moment of it. Mom and Dad came over for dinner and then I folded more laundry last night and started watching Weeds on DVD (I've never seen it). Next time I do this little project, I'll take pics at home during the rest of the day, but I got a little lazy. Besides...there's already over 25 here...lol. That's enough for now :)
I encourage any of you to do this sometime too - it was really fun (I think I mentioned that about 5,000 times already).
Time for bed and back to work tomorrow. It was a really nice/relaxing weekend. I hope everyone has a great week!!
Anthony is so lucky to have both sets of his grandparents in his life and close by... the last 3 nights, we have hung out with my parents. I blogged about Monday night already...last night we had dinner and then Grandma, Anthony and Brian went for a bike ride (I've got pics but hopefully those will go up tomorrow). Mom hasn't had a new bike in 50 years! So this was a big deal! Then tonight we had dinner together and Mom and Anthony came with me to the beach for a photo shoot. While we were waiting for the family to get there, I took a couple pics of Anthony and Grandma.
One of my favorite things to do in the summer is have the family over for dinner and/or go in the pool. So yesterday it had been in the 90s....and we invited Mom, Dad, Diana & Edwin to come over to go for a dip in the pool and then we grilled out some steaks. It was so much fun. The weather was so perfect...there was a breeze that kicked up and the humidity started dropping and it was just so awesome. We went in the pool first, then had dinner....then we played with Anthony and Edwin in the yard....then Ed got done with work so he came over for a steak and while he was eating and working on installing his new car stereo (not at the same time..haha)...Diana, Mom, Anthony, Edwin and I took a stroll down the road and ran into Grandma Judy. We stopped and looked at the pics from their week long cruise a couple of weeks ago and then we came home to shoot off a couple of fireworks (to see what Edwin thought of them in preparation for Friday) and then everyone headed home. I can't even explain what a great night it was even though it was so simple. I just feel so blessed to have such an awesome family and nights like these are just priceless. So I've been swamped with work but I took some time to take some pics for ME - which I miss....so here's a few....ok a bunch....trying to catch up from being a bad blogger..haah
Here's my son and his ho...seriously.
Eddie crusing the yard in his diaper..so cute.
Not sure what Eddie was doing here but it was funny...
Anthony & Edwin playing ball....
Edwin kept wanting to go up our front steps so Grandma sat there trying to block him...it didn't really work...lol
And then Edwin's Daddy got home and he was soo happy...
Grandma got a bike a couple of weeks ago and our street is just a little bit safer to ride it on so it stays here...last night Ed took Edwin for a mini cruise on it..
Then Ed decided to show us his tricks...
Finally...my handsome boy...outside playing in the yard..being a boy...
