The past few weeks have been busy ones for the fam.

That's why I'm just now getting around to getting Andrew's artwork up for all to see...all of my hobbies are taking a backseat these days. I have been working out religiously for the past 6 weeks, and now I find myself distracted by fun activities. I'm not complaining...but I need to get back with it b/c I'm seeing progress and I don't want to lose my momentum! I do consider Flickr to be a hobby of mine b/c it involves quite a bit of time...but I get to show everyone what we're up to on a more detailed level and I love it. As you all know I LOVE to take pictures so Flickr & photography provide me a way to capture the memories I want to hold onto forever and keep y'all in the know too! That being said I vow to get Flickr caught up soon! There's just so much to share b/c we've been such a busy family filled with lots of activities and even more pictures!

Anyways - I wanted to post some of my favorite pictures of our most recent activities. Here's just a taste of what we've been up to lately...

Family outing to play baseball and soccer
Art Classes
Rebecca's Birthday Party - they had it at a pool so Andrew was stoked!
Cory's softball game - it was the Championship game and we were denied *sigh*
Hosting Brian & Kalynn Over to Dinner
Going to the Garcia's for Dinner
Playdates

We've also been having fun around the house. It's been so dang hot down here that we can't play outside...so we come up with new things to do inside. That being said Andrew suffered his biggest bonk ever on Friday. It was a tough one for my Mommy heart to take, but he's fine. If you see a big ol' bruise on his forehead you now know why...

Well, I better run...Lots to do!
Alexis is coming to visit us tomorrow and we can't wait.

Andrew's Art Class - Week 4

Let's Get Started!

Having Fun with the Shaving Cream

Waiting For the Next Step...

Ta Da....

Marbleizing - Close-Up

This week's class was a super fun one for Andrew. It involved 2 things - shaving cream and paint...any boys messy dream! This week's topic was "Marbleizing" and boy was it an interesting class. Many steps were involved to get this week's masterpiece!

1. First the teacher gave us a small sheet of paper
2. Then she squirted shaving cream all over the paper
3. Andrew had to smear it all around until the paper was completely covered
4. The next step was to take pipettes and squirt paint all over the shaving cream one color at a time (Andrew really loved this part!)
5. Then we had to turn our frame/paper over and lightly press it into the shaving cream & paint
6. Finally, we had to scrape off the excess shaving cream off of the paper and voila!

I thought it was going to be so messy and shaving cream would be in our hair, ears, and all over our clothes...but Andrew did great. I guess I shouldn't care about that b/c everything washes anyway...as long as he had fun is what counts!

To top it all off - we got to go and have lunch with Ashley and Lindsay afterwards! It was a very fun Saturday!
