Here kitty kitty

John's uncle Nick's cat had some kitties about 3 weeks ago. I will be the first to tell you, I HATE CATS! But, they are so stinkin cute :) If only they stayed that little and cute.......John was not sure what to think of them. Dad helped him looked them over. Also, uncle Nick had a derby on Saturday so John is wearing another good luck derby shirt!

Happy Labor Day!

Mom and John sitting by the park enjoying the fresh air, parade and eachother!!

I covered John's ears for the last 3 entries which were firetrucks...we must have tired him out! He feel asleep right in my hands! My cousin quick snapped a picture of this for me.

Happy Labor Day! John and I were BUSY over the weekend...WOW. After we got home from camping we went to see Dad at the shop. He thought we needed to eat with him and see Grandma :) We did not get home till 10 Sunday night. Then Monday was Sheldon's annual celebration days. We went to the park around 1030 to meet my mom, aunt and cousin. We snooped at all the crafts and then went for pizza to celebrate my aunt's b-day. We returned to the park for the parade and had a great time! John was awake for the whole thing other then the last couple entries (see above!!) he sat up the whole time and was a good boy. After that, John had a sitter while I went to the derby. All the guys did GREAT, it was fun to watch once again. I got home around 1030--whew what a busy, busy weekend!!

A camping we will go

John thought he was big stuff sitting in his own camping chair around the fire.

John and I headed out to see my sister and her family for a camping weekend over Labor Day. He was in is element! Loves to be outdoors!! He had so much fun with Cody and Abby you would not believe it :) He was a good boy all weekend long, we had a GREAT time! We left Dad behind to work on his derby car for Monday's big event.

Oh what a Sunday!

On Sunday, my friend Melissa called to see if we wanted to walk to the park...what a BEAUTIFUL DAY! We said YES...and off we went. John and Emma LOVE hanging out...and so do Melissa and I :) We had a BLAST. John loves the swings....he napped the whole walk home plus an hour when we got home! I think we need to build a park in our backyard. HAAA!!!!

NEW SHOES FOR JOHNNY BOY!

My friend Amanda (as seen down below in the "twin photo") and I went shopping Friday in Sioux Falls. We REALLY NEEDED to get out if you know what I mean! I had seen these shoes for John before and I passed on them...not a necessity one would say, as he has shoes....well this mama is always looking for a bargain and here they were on sale! Need I say more...here they are! He likes 'em!!!! On another note, he is 8 months old now :)

John is 7 months old today!

Today marks 7 months for John Nickolas (aka Johnny Boy) being in our lives. I cannot believe the joy, love and excitement he brings to me everday! The last 7 months have just FLOWN by! I was always told that time flies when you have children, boy is that the truth!! John rolls over like crazy now, eats beans, sleeps through the night (most of the time...YEAH!!!!!), and plays with his toys now. It just amazes me all the new things they learn in such a short amount of time. What a GOOD 7 months. :)

9 years of wedded BLISS

Sean sent me these flowers for our 9 year anniversary. Where does time go, I ask? 9 years...WOW. I got them in the morning so it was nice to enjoy them for the day. We went out for Mexican food and topped the night off with some ice cream from the local Dairy Dandy :) What else could a gal ask for?
