Ketchup

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. . .been too busy posting scrapbook pages on MY blog (how selfish of me!!!) I posted some new layouts of Bryce though, so if you aren't a regular attender of MY blog, go check it out to see pics of the big bad toddler B!
We are super SUPER excited because this morning I found a new place that just opened. . .an INDOOR play area for TODDLERS!!!!! HOOOOOOORAY! We are totally psyched to go check it out. It's called Toddler Time, and it was created by a mom in Jacksonville who felt like her little ones needed a safe indoor place to play, where they wouldn't get trampled by the big kids! MY FEELINGS EXACTLY!!! (plus the air conditioning is CERTAINLY a plus!) So as we await Tropical Storm Ernesto to arrive, after nap time I think we might go check it out! (And maybe we will take Daddy back tomorrow!)

new link! new baby!???

I added a new link today - my cousin Bill (although the poor guy will always still be "Billy" in this family) and his wife Elizabeth, who are having a BABY! Actually, they could be having a baby at this VERY MOMENT! She is late late late, but at his last post, this afternoon, they were heading to the hospital!!! HOORAY!!! I hope it's a BABY DAY!!!!!!!

i love those toes!!!!!! 

moooooore. (what he means is more PLEASE.) 

I LOVE CORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

YUM!!! 

a couple of corny boys! 

Yes, i DO know that my feet are in this picture. I think it sort of adds to the personality. I am sort of into taking pictures looking straight down right now. .. I don't know why! 

one of our favorite things. . .

we are OBSESSED with the children's book author, Todd Parr. if you have kiddos, (at home or in your classroom!!) from age 1 to . . .well, my age at LEAST, you should check out these terrific books, and a pretty fun website too! (The website has coloring pages you can print too!!! Tater, you definitely need these in your classroom!!!) :)

Right now we are reading (over and over and over) Otto Has a Birthday Party, The Mommy Book, and Otto Goes to School. These are some of the few books that I can read over and over and OVER again, and not be totally irritated and fed up with!!!

Check out Todd Parr's website here!

One can never have too many toys in the tub! 

Are you taking a picture of ME!???? 

one more pic from lizzie's party! love it!!!!!! 

Thank you Mimi and Poppy for my new magnets! Thanks for visiting me!!!!  

Birthday smooches! We went to Lizzie's big 16th birthday bash tonight. Bryce stayed up TWO hours past his bedtime, danced and ran around like a maniac, ate lots of food, and made friends with Lizzie's friends! He was especially excited about her balloons, and the DJ's bubble machine! 

Lizzie's lobster cake! Cute huh?!  

Lizzie's party spot was right off the beach. Here are Bryce and Daddy checking out the view, before the party started. 

Doobie and Bryce in their lobster shirts!

SPLASH!
