Naughty, Naughty!

May 4, 2009

Liam loves to sneak off to the powder room to get into as much trouble as possible before I realize that he is missing.  Usually he heads right for the toilet to splash around a bit but today he made due with the toilet paper...the WHOLE role!

There is a funny quote I found when I was working on the grandma's mother's day project..."My name is NO,NO but Grandma calls me precious!"  How true it is!

A Random Day

May 5, 2009

These pics were just some from a random day.  As the weather warms we spend more and more time out in the yard.  Liam is discovering a lot more now that he is so mobile.  You can't trust him even for a second, he finds lots of trouble very quickly.

Today the object of interest was a tasty rock.  It is so hard to discipline a child when you think he is just so darned cute even if he is eating a rock.  Don't get me wrong, we do discipline Liam when needed I just smile when my back is turned.  Ha, ha!

Tulip Fest 2009

May 2, 2009

Today we decided to go to the Tulip Fest in Holland Michigan.  We didn't know quite what to expect, it was a fair like atmosphere with not quite as many tulips as I thought.  We enjoyed the weather and saw some tulips...

had some cotton candy and lemon shake ups...mmmm, and went on the Fun Slide!  Yes, Liam and I went on the fun slide!  It was such a great time.  I think all the other parents thought that I was nuts to take such a little guy on such a big slide but he did well.  I would definitely do it again.

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

It has been a rainy week here in Michigan, although it has not slowed down the dogs.  They went out today and had race day in our yard...as you can see from Fletcher it was a mess!

Trouble Maker

Liam has been getting into a lot more trouble the more mobile he gets.  As you can see from this pic he is playing IN the refrigerator!  He is lucky I love him so much.

We Have a Speedy Crawler!

April 29, 2009

So after the evaluation from Early On I was determined to help Liam in any way possible to increase his upper body strength.  We worked on the exercises that they suggested and gave him endless encouragement.  Guess what?  It worked! 

Liam crawls everywhere now.  He has stopped spending his day problem solving how to get from point A to point B by cruising and instead just gets down and crawls.  It is amazing how far he has come in a short amount of time.

 

These last pics were just too cute not to put in...doesn't he look just like Mike in this little shirt?

Another One Bites the Dust!

April 25, 2009

Bad news at the Boyle house today, Sassy killed a squirrel!  We were sitting down for a nice breakfast when I made the mistake of telling Mike that there was another squirrel on our bird feeder.  He thought we should send out the hounds, I discouraged him but with no success.

The dogs went flying out the back door and the squirrel made a run for it right into Sassy!  That was a big mistake, Sassy had the thing dead in a matter of moments.  Mike felt horrible and I had a case of I told you so's!  

Mike had clean up duty since it was his fault but I had a little fun with him before that.  He was making waffles and I said oh look there is another squirrel out there...oh he is going over to the dead one....ahh he is stroking it's cheek!  Mike got all freaky and then I burst out laughing.  How the Boyles' have a sick sense of humor.
