Happy to be home with my boys!

UGH, that's all I have to say. I'm exhausted but super happy to be home with my family. After being around 100 plus sales reps and hearing them complain about their family; specifically their spouses I feel so lucky with my spouse and family.

My friend Sandi came over to help Tony with J.R. all weekend while I was at headquarters. It sounds like they were on the go all day! They went to a movie, out to eat and played hockey. Tony told me that J.R. found some older boys on the ice that took the time to play and teach J.R. things. Once J.R. was with his "friends" he told his dad, "go away"!

This morning J.R. was telling me about his friend Gavril at school. I think that's his new best friend.. he replaced LoLo from Karens. This morning J.R. introduced me to Gavril and they went right to playing having dinosaur fights. His teacher said they spend the entire day together and play really well together.

Here's a picture of J.R. Monday morning with his new glasses I got him while I was in the airport in Boston. Blue Sponge Bob Square Pants glasses... last night he sang the entire Sponge Bob song before going to bed!

Here are some pictures Sandi sent me while I was away at Headquarters.

J.R. enjoying Sandi's birthday cake!



Pray for my boys!

I'm leaving for Boston tomorrow for training at headquarters and will not be back until 10pm Sunday night.... so pray for my boys!

This last week we were busy doing lots of fun things with J.R. Here's a few pictures.. enjoy!

Watching Sponge Bob before a nap.

Driving for the first time by himself... well kind of...

Getting a little help...

Don't get too excited.... still not potty trained... still not interested!

Auntie Ju Ju

This 4th of July weekend J.R.'s Auntie Ju Ju came to visit. J.R. was happy to have "new blood" in the house. He followed her everywhere. They enjoyed the swimming pool and going out to eat together. Here's a picture of them at Yard House, one of J.R.'s favorite spots. He kept hiding under the table from the BEAR! He was really sad when she went home. He keeps asking for her and saying he wants to go to Iowa to stay with his Auntie Ju Ju!

Last night J.R. did NOT like the fireworks. All our neighbors were outside setting off their own fireworks. Earlier in the day J.R. played with snaps, those things you throw to the ground and they make a popping sound. He really liked those but once the bigger fireworks went off he was not too happy. He ran to me, said he was scared and tried to claw his way into my chest. Then he asked for his daddy. He kept yelling he wanted to go home and he wanted to get out of there! He wanted to go inside. J.R. was fine once he went inside. He didn't even want to go out on our master balcony to watch the "far away" fire works.

This morning I asked J.R. if he liked the fireworks. He said, "no, maybe next year when I'm a big boy. I'll be a big boy and go to work like you mommy."
