NOTE on #24 When I was blogging about Lane and his raspberries, I didn't know there was a 'p' in the word, and I just found several misspellings that I had to fix. I think I'm and idiot.

What's going on

This is what is going on at my house right now.
Lane is loving
'airplane' I couldn't capture a smile but he gets so happy and smiley.



Zackary is wearing Diego underwear. I'm not sure if it is potty training time, but he sure shows all the signs. So today, since it is warm out, he is playing in underwear only. Cold turkey works best right? He is sure excited to wear the underwear. Gotta love the boots with them. We will see how it goes today.

Our Home Garden

We, I mean Aaron has started a home garden on our wasted side yard. Here is some pictures of the start We have tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, cilantro, bell peppers, and more. We will be planting more in the next couple of months. Zackary has finally learned to pick only the red 'namatoes', we occasionally find green ones chewed and spit out by the plant.

Additional Brilliant 2 yr old Ideas

I come outside to find Zackary with the dish soap and the scrubby that we use for dishes cleaning the back patio. He says, "cleaning mommy." I just had to laugh, what are you going to do.
Next we have Zackary's new favorite thing, dragging his chairs every where to get into something. He has go go gadget arms and can reach anything regardless of where we put it. Now he is taking his chair every where to get into more things we thought were safe, I have learned there are no safe areas with a climbing 2 yr old. He had taken his chair outside to the fence and was trying to scale it, NICE! Check out the grin, he was so proud.

Thai Food Night

This is Aaron's beautiful Thai food dinner night presentation. He is all about the presentation, whereas I'm about the good ol cookin I grew up with. He made an awesome dinner for Mary, Steven, and I. We were all quite impressed, especially after we knew he wasn't using a recipe. I will admit, I get a little scared every time he makes something, no recipe, random ingredients, and lots of dishes, but the outcome is always amazing. Who knew?

Raspberries

Baby Lane is beginning to blow raspberries for us. This is one of my favorite milestones. I just love the fact that they have to wear a bib for all the drool that comes with the continuous raspberries. Oh so sweet!
