Cleaning House

He really liked cleaning the floors using his feet!


Here are a few shots I've taken in the past few days as we're getting ready for our vacation. I've been trying to clean the house before we leave so when we return from the beach, we'll return to a really clean house...and I must say I have the best little helper in the world. He knows just what to do and how to get my floors spotless. I did add a few cutie pie shots of my little ham playing and doing puzzles.

Science Experiment!

Playing at MawMaw and PawPaw's house and blowing one of PawPaw's duck calls.

Baby turtle eggs

Andy telling Daddy all about the turtle!

This past weekend, we headed to Eunice for a fun filled visit. Saturday morning Uncle Moon spotted a momma turtle in MawMaw and PawPaw's yard. We all went to take a peak at the turtle and much to our surprise, she was in the process of laying her eggs...5 we think. It was really cool to see the whole process! Sadly, Momma turtle didn't cover her eggs before she crawled back to the pond, and before we knew it some animal had taken the eggs.

Stickers

He had the best time with these stickers!

I just had to share this picture. Andy figured out how to move the gate on the stairs. So on this picture he is sitting on the stairs "explaining" himself as to why he's on the stairs...a place he knows he's not suppose to be! I should have videoed it...it was cute, but of course now we have to figured out a new game plan for the gate and stairs.

Saturday afternoon Andy and I were coloring and Andy found some animal stickers in his color bucket. The stickers have always been there, but he just found them interesting that day. He wanted every sticker off the paper and on him. It was really funny! Here are a few pictures of Andy covered with stickers.

Air Show

Checking out the cool helicopters and planes...and the grass!

Here he is...checking them out!

Having fun!

Aww! Love this sweet pic!

This past weekend, we went to the Air Show at the Air Force Base here in Columbus. We had a great time and Andy had a blast!!! It was a big production and lots of room for Andy to RUN around. He loved every minute of it! We did check out some cool planes and helicopters, but of course our child was much more interested in the grass, the painted pavement, and the port-a-potties...yes those stinky things. He was fascinated with them! Andy loved his first Air Show.

Happy Mother's Day

Riding the train at the Market Street Festival.

Andy enjoying the petting zoo!

My little one playing on the computer. He figured out how to turn on and off the monitor.

Ok, so Andy got tired of sitting on the couch the "normal" way and decided to flip up one of the cushions and play with his cars a different way.


Playing in the sand in the lot across the street from us.

Mother's Day...before church (I'm looking like I need a nap already! HA!)

This weekend Columbus had its annual Market Street Festival. They blocked off all of downtown and had booths set of with local businesses and there were games and rides for the children. It was a really neat experience. Andy loved all the music that was played...he danced and danced! He also enjoyed the petting zoo-our first experience in one. Let's just saw Andy did a LOT better then Mommy! He loved chasing and poking the chickens. He was fascinated with the chicken's red gobbler thing. He was a little to creepy for me! Andy also enjoyed the train ride. He made a friend and hated to get off once the ride was over. Saturday was fun filled! Today was another wonderful day...Mother's Day. It was a special day. I was so thrilled when we dropped Andy off in the nursery at church. He first pointed to his classroom and then pointed to the trucks he wanted to play with. He was pumped about playing with the cars and trucks at church. Oh, I teared up...Andy didn't cry this morning, buy Momma sure did! I was so proud of our little man. The ladies in the nursery are wonderful and such an answered prayer! Each Sunday is getting better and better for Andy...and us. Yay! Then this afternoon we enjoyed being outside with one another. Finally to end a wonderful day, Billy cooked us a "breakfast" dinner. Ooh I love me a good omelet. He did a fantastic job.

All Boy!

Pushing his cars over the bucket!

Andy building a bridge to help his cars go over!

Andy building a tower with pillows in the living room!

Andy is definitely all boy! No, I'm not complaining AT ALL...I just think it's so cute and oh so different from the little girls we've recently been around. I think it's incredible to see how the Lord, at such an early age, gives little boys the desire to like cars, airplanes, trucks, etc and how they like to be rough and oh so loud (well at least my little boy)! And then to watch little girls...they only like to stay outside just a few minutes or would rather play dolls or house then with blocks or cars...amazing and just so precious to watch! Thank you Lord for the children you've blessed us with and how they are precious in Your sight!

Andy Reading

Here's a short video of Andy reading his book to Billy and me. He has all of a sudden started talking to us...well anyone like he's having an actual conversation with us. He seems to really know what he's saying, but of course it's in his own language. It's the cutest thing.
