Tummy Time

Amulek's tummy time usually goes a little like this:

(please forgive my annoying voice. I try...)

Start 'em young...

...ok, just kidding (mom!). Our child is not going to be a boxer. However, it is no secret that his dad loves boxing. So it was only a matter of time before these pictures were taken. Enjoy!

(story commentary by Lamoni)

You want me to fight?

Ack! Don't hit me!

Alright, you wanna piece of me?

(one KO later) I'm the winner! I knew I could do it!

*No baby (or daddy) was harmed in the process of this post*

Denim on Denim

I know this is a fashion DON'T but I still think he looks pretty cute. What do you think?

P.S. You'll have to excuse the hair. We hadn't brushed it yet.

A Rainy Day

Sometimes, we just need to sit on the porch and watch the sunset through a drizzle of rain. And take pictures of cute boys.

Mr. Darcy and Korean Restaurants

Yesterday, some friends from work came over and we watched the A&E Pride & Prejudice. That's right - the whole thing! All 5 hours. Lamoni thought we were nuts. But we had fun and laughed and sighed and drooled over Mr. Yummy, I mean Mr. Darcy.

After the movie we went to Sam Hawk, a Korean restaurant in town. It is one of Lamoni's favorite places and we've eaten there several times. But the occasion this time was that Julie, one of my former coworkers, is obsessed with Korean culture and had never tried Sam Hawk (easily the best Korean food in town). It was doubly fun because she was so excited to eat there. We had a good time there, then went out for ice cream.

The Weekly List

I am a list-maker. Countless times I have found sticky notes around the house with lists for groceries, things to look up on the internet, recipes, projects to work on, chores, etc. That's why when I saw this post at Feathers Flights, I just had to steal the idea (sorry Heather, but I couldn't pass up your inspired idea!) I love using my weekly list so far.

That being said, does it ever feel like you are working all day and then when the evening comes around it seems as if you have nothing to show for the work you've done? Just saying...

The Petting Zoo

My husband has a nose for finding interesting events (and free food!). We attended an event for families put on by BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse) where we enjoyed hamburgers, talking with the volunteers (all bikers of course), and watching a tug-o-war between the big scary bikers and a bunch of little kids. There was also a small petting zoo which Amulek enjoyed...sort of.

Zentangle - Diva Challenge #37

A few months before Amulek was born, I got into a fun art form called Zentangles. It's kind of like a glorified doodling mixed with relaxation. I love the different patterns and the complexity of the designs and yet they are surprisingly easy to do. Let's face it - there's something just so enjoyable about abstract MC Escher-esque art:P Anyway, you can learn about about Zentangle here.

One blog that I read has a Zentangle challenge every week. I've been doing them for a while but never actually got to post my results. Here is this week's challenge, "Kiss my Grids." Enjoy:)
