Clean House = Happy Mommy!

Sunday I was in a terrible mood all day. After I got groceries I finally decided enough was enough and this pigsty of a house needed to be picked up. When Kane finally went down for his nap, Matt got to help. Why is it that life is so much better with a clean house? We'll see how long it lasts. Probably not long though, with Kane playing his favorite game of throw everything on the floor.

Kane finally decided that he would rather walk than crawl. All weekend he has been walking around the house.

We also went to Farrah's birthday party over the weekend, but Mom was so out of it she didn't take any pictures. We had fun playing with Farrah and Grayson. Kane thought the cake was delicious, but I think Farrah enjoyed hers a lot more.

Messy baby

Kane decided to clean out the cupboard, which is something he usually does, but today I had the cupboard turned all the way around. There was an open bag of barely sitting there, which Kane found and then proceeded to spill all over the floor. When he did this, I was in the middle of making dinner and there wasn't any time to pick it up before he started running his hands over it and making an even bigger mess. The picture was taken after I picked up the cinnamon sticks and numerous spices. At least he's cute!

Bad Monkey

Kane got this crazy monkey from Great Grandma Jane. He used to be terrified of it, but now he brings it over to me to turn it on. You'll understand why we keep it off most of the time.


Who's pacy? On Mother's Day Ashlyn decided it was her turn to get in the jumperoo. While she was in there, Kane came up and they started playing with each others' pacifiers.

Yummy, yummy, in my tummy!

Kane got to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa Aupperle Saturday night. He also had a Popsicle while he was there.

Aren't you a little big?

Kane has had a fascination with his bouncy seat lately. It's really weird because he never really liked it that much when he was younger. The reason he is not wearing pants is because he just got back from the sitters and he had gotten into a water toy outside. His pants and shoes were a bit soggy.


This is how we get out of our seat.

One heck of a week. . .

Our week started out with Kane getting a cold. Our once sleeping very well at night son, turned into a not so good sleeper at night. He started out getting a cold last Sunday and over the course of the week, it got worse. By Wednesday, he had a fever. Matt took him to the doctor and he had the beginning of a double ear infection. We ended up staying home on Thursday: Me in the morning, Matt in the afternoon. Friday night Kane woke up 5 times. We were definitely ready for a break on Saturday.

Saturday Matt and I went up to Chicago for my friend Jamie and Chris's wedding. We had the pleasure of staying with Holly. The wedding was at the Metropolitan Club on the 67th floor of the Willis (A.K.A Sears) Tower. The only downside was that it was so foggy you could only get glimpses of the surrounding buildings. None the less it was still a wonderful event with great company.

Dad's New Toy

Matt got a new lawnmower and for some reason Kane seems to think it's his.












Don't I look cute in my polo and flip-flops. As always Kane's mouth is open catching flies! His favorite shape is the star.

Look, I got it in the right place.
