Happy 4th of July!




4th of July was spent at the O'Donnell cabin. We kept Quinn up to see the fireworks. He made it through the first big boom and then quickly snuggled into my sweatshirt and fell into a deep slumber... even through the grand finale. He missed a great show, but made my 4th specatacular. So fun sharing these traditions with him.

Watermelon





Quinn loves watermelon.

Almost two...

Can you believe it?! Our baby is no longer a baby.

He loves his shake-n-go cars. "Ready, set, GO!" We hear those words a lot and have to watch our step as at any given time there are about 20 various cars lining the hallway, sofa, beds - you name it.

He's in the 'monkey see, monkey do' stage and copies everything we do.
"Go potty Mae." I caught him saying tonight when he helped me let the dogs out.

Quinn still loves Disney Cars. It's his favorite movie and anything depicting those characters are his favorite as well. On every trip in the car he points out Lightning, Sally and Mater as cars pass by on our route.

He loves helping me with the baking. He works the mixer and likes to put it on the high speed. He helped me tonight when I made Adam's birthday cake and I caught him double dipping the spoon in the batter time and time again and then giving it a healthy sized lick. I'm not sure what time he'll go down tonight, but counting on it being a little later than usual. ;)

Quinn visits SD






Thanks to all the family and friends who made our visit so very special. I'm happy that Quinn got the chance to meet you and spend time with you all. It really means a lot to me that he get to know the wonderful people that I was brought up among. Here are just some of the wonderful memories that we'll take from this trip.

Missed a holiday...






I was going through my files and realized I missed a holiday. Here are some pictures of Christmas 2009.
