Weekend in Review

This weekend was packed with a lot of indoor and some outdoor activities. Little Man had his last day of Sports Class with one of his buddies. He loved the class, but apparently really loved hugging the one girl that was in the class nicknamed Mater. Maybe it's because he thought of her as Tow Mater? Here's the full scene for you...


He had one of his best friends with him to share in the fun of having the coach put the stamp ANYWHERE the kids wanted. Can you tell what body part Miles chose?

I must admit, I took this picture earlier in the session, but I couldn't resist posting it.


And the class picture (Mater is not too happy because her father had just told her to pay attention to the game and not the boys... I would be upset too)

My dad came down to spend a few days with the us and we decided to chance it on Sunday and go fishing between rain storms. Ax was more interested in the fish food (WonderBread) than fishing, but I can't really blame him.
Little Man has started to enjoy getting his picture taken....
Now if this trend would rub off on his brother we may be ready for a family picture.

And since I was not interested in fishing, I decided to take lots of pictures, my models were very well behaved :) I thought this one needed a little artsy angle...
This one is my favorite.
Notice the rain clouds are a bit darker....And who needs an ocean when you have beachfront property in Gilbert?

Chicago Snow

Little Man and I went to Chicago for a fun action-packed weekend to visit our friends. We saw the city and visited some really cool museums. The first day we started at 7:50am at the train station and ventured downtown to the "Bean" at Millenium Park. One thing you can't see in the picture is my backpack that I forgot under the Bean WIDE OPEN with my wallet on top! Good thing everyone in the City was honest that day and Katie sprinted to find it... Thanks Friend! Here's a picture of the cute kids by the Bean.

Little Man was a little unsure of the large stuffed animals at the Field Museum, but felt better when he saw this little crab.
Here's Sissy and Little Man in the bubble by the water fall at the Children's Museum.

Little Man could not get enough of the snow and couldn't wait to get back and bundle up and play in the snow. Macker was trying to sneak out and play in the snow too....
Little Man could not be happier in the snow :)
Thanks friends for a fun weekend - complete with lots of laughter, fun, coughing, runny noses, and occasional vomit!
