Spring has Sprung (a while a go)

So I just got around to pulling some of the pics off one of our cameras (still need to pull the other camera's pictures). I'm going to try and get all caught up here in the next week or so (only to fall behind again I'm sure once Riley gets here). Anyway, we're inside of 3 weeks from the arrival of Riley. But we did manage to finally move!!! I don't have any pics of the new house yet, doesn't seem like it'd be that tough does it, its been in the same spot since 1920, but I guess you can say the same thing about hitting a golf ball, its not moving, its just tough. Anyway, once we can do "something" with the other house, we'll be all set.

But here are some pics from a day off I had with B a while back...



I thought it'd be pretty nice to get B in front of a cherry blossom. Sounds easy enough right? wrong. If i can't get a picture of a house that's been sitting there for 90 years, imagine my luck trying to get B to sit still. Here are my pictures, in the order that I took them, we'll start out going left...



And then right...



On second thought, lets go left again...



No, i changed my mind, lets go right...



After all the running around, we went to the playground and got to watch the park transplant trees, I mean BIG TREES...



And finally took some time to play on the playground...




Stephanie is always asking me to take close ups, here you go...

View from the top...



Taking my time, no need to rush into the slide...



Epic...



Nothing like a cold one after a long day...



Ahhhh.....

Picture This

So I know its a pretty bad version of these pics, but here are a picture of the class pictures for brayden. I'll try to get a better copy up at some point, but in the mean time, this should be good enough. You know how a copy of a copy doesn't always turn out so great, well apparently neither does a picture of a picture taken from a blackberry. Oh well. Oh, also i've included a bonus pic of my latest pride and joy, the great wall of adair, crafted with mine very own hands. Not only is it absolutely beautiful, but saved us close to $500 (and my immense sense of pride, thanks for the assist piet)...

Days with Nana

I don't have any new pics of B loaded onto my computer, and I don't really feel like leaving squeezable bacon up as the centerpiece for jumping for the weekend, so I'm going to borrow some pics that nana took of B. Nana has been gracious enough to watch B a couple of times over the last few weeks and has been keeping us up to date on their daily activities by sending us pics during the day. I wish they'd put webcams up at his school, of course, then we'd NEVER get anything done. Anyway, here are some pics courtesy of nana...



hasn't really figured out the bike thing yet...



Closer, but not quite...



Keep trying bud, you'll get it...




There we go...



And B's new favorite activity, checking out trucks on the internet. idea of the year award winner....Greg...



Playing fetch with Niko...



And, apparently jabbing niko with a stick?...

I wonder if you have to shake it like Ketchup, or else it'll come out all watery...

Stuff People Buy...

My friend had an idea for a new website, that was later stolen on a segment of the Colbert Report, called "Stuff People Buy". Besides the snuggie, I found 3 new additions that would surely make the cut on the SPB website.

the Touch a Brush

the Walk of Shame

and this one is just amazing... The Peekaru



Thanks to SI.com's HotClicks for the links to all three of these amazing products. Just goes to show you the ingenuity that made this country great.

Love those Naps

Its so funny, its so hard to get B to take a nap(and go to sleep for that matter). Every once in a while you can really wear him out and he'll go down pretty quickly, or if he's in the car around 1-3pm its automatic. But one thing B really loves is waking up from a nap. He ALWAYS has the biggest smile on his face.

Here is a camera pic from last Friday's nap (should probably just keep an actual camera around)...

Piano with Oma

Here are some recent pics of B, playing the piano with Oma...
