M&M Cookie Dough

Typical Saturday

applesauce

J decided he wanted to eat his applesauce with the cookie scoop. Deciding it wasn't of any great importance, and being super sick and not able to really object, it happened.

At the library

They've stopped doing the morning story time for the time being. So we went this afternoon instead, since it was supposed to be rainy, and we've been getting tired of being cooped up in the house. J discovered he can open and close the sliding doors quite easily.

Memorial day adventures

 We went for a bike ride this morning to the nature park. We enjoyed wandering around and exploring the trails, and seeing the animals.

 

New game

We tried out a new game tonight, and were totally horrible at it... 

bag of bags

I really need to get better at Saturday pictures...

Fledging bird

We went on a walk this morning and found this baby bird. It apparently just fledged, because it couldn't/wouldn't fly away. The momma bird wasn't super happy about us being that close to it, but we decided to leave after getting a couple pictures of it. J was quite upset I wouldn't let him touch it, but I decided not to push our luck with the momma bird. 

Flowers

J and I went on an evening walk tonight, and of course he lead me up to campus. We wandered around the Snow building and found these pretty trees. 

Patches

I got to patch some J pants today. I decided I really like patching camo pants since the patch will blend in really well. 

at the park

It was actually a somewhat nice non-rainy afternoon today, so we went to the park to enjoy some outside time. It was really really nice to get out again. 

Bear

We found this in a box today. J has been really attached to it since finding it.

footwear

I wore both these shoes today. I started out with the boots, and ended the day with the sandals. It was a Rexburg kind of day. 

Pocoyo

We got invited to a birthday party for a one year old. I completely forgot to take my camera and get pictures of all the fun chaos that was to be had, so instead you get a picture of the invitation, which is the kid's favorite character, Pocoyo. 

J's favorite slide

J has finally decided he's brave enough to do slides without me going down with him. Which is good, because this is is favorite slide. 

Sick day

I was super sick and throwing up all day today, no pictures got taken.

It's been a rainy few days, so I've dragged out my raincoat as the temperatures keep dropping with the rain. I found this in my pocket. I had completely forgotten it was there :)

Sick day reading

J started throwing up just as I was headed to bed last night, and we were up most of the night with him. He was feeling better, but not great today, so we spent a lot of time cuddling and reading. This isn't all the books we read, and we re-read some of these quite a few times. 

Jam!

Much to J's dismay, we spent the morning making jam. We got 7 (almost 8) whole pints! I'm super excited to have some back in storage in our pantry :) 

cookie eating

We had some cookies tonight at game night, and J refused to hold his cookie while eating it... Erin had to hold it for him :) He was adorable and hilarious all game night long :) 

Dryer ball collection

Sorting

J took out all the granola bars today, looking for one very specific one. :) 

at the dentist

J's insurance happens to cover dentists visits (which is amazing), and today was time for the checkup. Beyond loving the dentist for his very gentle and understanding manner with kids (I love pediatric dentists for that reason...not that it really helped J not to scream during the whole time they were looking at his teeth, but at least they were very understanding about it), they have an amazing waiting room. 

Blurry boy.

J has been super busy today, and won't stop for any pictures... this was the best I got for today.

Dresser

MilkyWay

While I had an exciting day, with many events going on, I didn't remember to bring a camera or take a picture at a single one of them. This was a prize from a baby shower I went to today.... Yep, the only picture that got taken. 

While enjoying a tasty piece of bread

We went to great harvest for a snack and decided to eat it at their outside tables. This was my enjoyable view as we were munching.
