Grandma Visit #2

This was a very special couple of weeks for Oliver! Last weekend my mom came and this weekend Mike's family came. They rented a house right on the ocean a few blocks away. It was great, except there were A LOT of things for Oliver to get into and get into he did! He did enjoy all the time at the beach though, as you can see from the photos. Mike's aunt Mary and Laura and Andrew came too. Oliver had a lot of fun with his family.

Grandma Visit #1

Oliver hadn't seen his grandma susan for a couple months - probably the longest he had ever gone without seeing her, so he was very happy to have her here for the weekend.  We went to ride on a little train, to the park and to Ikea to get Oliver a stepstool for the sink.  He had a great time helping grandma put it together.

Mother's Day

My boys have started a new Mother's day tradition that I love - they both wear Hawaiian (preferably matching) shirts! So sweet. This Mother's day, Mike (and Oliver) really did a great job. It started out with sleeping in, then a wonderful and tasty breakfast. Oliver made me a great big card at school and Mike got me a membership to the zoo! I LOVE the zoo and now I can go for free whenever I want. So we all got ready and headed out to see the animals. Oliver had been once before when he was only a few months old, but he really enjoyed the animals this time (and the exhibits). He was really into birds at the time so he loved the exhibit where you walk through the jungle bird house - he kept saying "bird" "bird" and pointing at them. We took him to the petting zoo area and he was a little reluctant to get to close to the goats. For good reason, because the goat lurched up and startled him. He tried to run to Mike but the goat went in between them, so he actually ran into the goat and freaked out even more! Poor little guy. It was a lot of fun overall though. After the zoo, we went to the park and had a picnic lunch. Then Mike made me an awesome dinner outside. Such a perfect day with my two wonderful men. I am a very lucky mother!
