Just Relaxin'

Jack was relaxing one evening with his bottle and waving at the cars as they went by saying, "Bye, bye!"

Then I wanted to take more pictures of him without his bottle and he wasn't as happy go lucky!! And I think he knew what I was trying to do because as soon as I started taking pictures he wouldn't look at me and kept running away, which is a game that makes him laugh-it is pretty cute!!

Alice's New Glasses

The day has arrived, Alice got her first pair of Disney Princess Glasses last night. I think she looks absolutely adorable. She got a little pink case that looks like a purse and a cloth for her to clean them. So far she has done well with them (granted it's been less than 24 hours) but I'm sure it'll take a while for her to get used to them. They don't even look like prescription glasses, which might work to our advantage.

Strawberry Festival, Planting Flowers and a New Pet

We went to the Strawberry Festival during Memorial Day Weekend. We had a lot of fun especially Alice because she was able to ride some of the rides by herself (so happy!!). We also loaded up on some really good Strawberry shortcake as well-Jack really enjoyed that!
Alice and Mommy got to plant some flowers this weekend and Jack really wanted to join us. He was able to get outside the door but got stuck somehow (he wasn't hurt by the way).


We bought a couple fish for the kids so we can get them used to responsibility of raising a pet. We gave Alice the honors of naming them and we told her to not name them Alice or Kay so she chose the following (don't laugh :-) ) " Apple Juice" and "Floor". Ron and I had to keep a straight face but of course laughed about it after she was out of the room..

Glasses???

I thought this picture of Jack is hilarious. He is actually posing for Mommy!!

Well, I took Alice to the eye doctor for the first time on Saturday and she has the Conkle curse. Of all the things that I wanted her to inherit from Ron (good eyesite) and she doesn't. Oh well, it's not exactly poor eyesite that she has but a crossed eye. At first I was sad, because those of us who wear glasses know how much of a pain it is to wear glasses and/or contacts but this may be for the short term. I noticed about a month ago that her eye was going in when she was watching tv or reading a book or focusing on something. Well, the doctor said it was pretty common in kids her age and that since we've found it early it is very fixable!! She should be getting her specs by next week and of course, I will post her cutie patootie (sp?) face.



Also, Jack went in for his 1 year appt and he is doing very well. He is now a whopping 24 lbs and 30 1/2 inches (big boy) but the doctor did say he is starting to aline with other 1 year olds (he is not off the charts any longer-just in the 99.9 percentile!!

Hello all!! This is my first posting and really we don't have too much going on in the Ahue household. Ron and I just went and saw Brian Regan, he is a stand up comedian who is absolutely hilarious (and clean too!!). I suggest if you haven't heard of him before you should rent or buy one of his videos-or even look him up on YouTube-so very funny.

This Sunday is Mother's Day so I'm excited to see if the kids cooked anything up for Mommy this year-Ron??? Well, until next time, have a great weekend!
