I'm in love with you

This morning I dropped the kids off at Layla's and since I work from home on Friday's, I decided to hang out for a while... I like chatting with Layla and seeing the kids play.

Oliver grabbed a few books and I started reading to Miles, Oliver, Sarah, and Peyton. One of the books was an animal nursery rhyme singing book.

As we were all singing and having fun Miles looked over at me and said "I'm in love with you mommy" without missing a beat and kept on singing.

It was very sweet and it warmed my heart all day long. Such a sweet boy and he LOVES his mommy!

I love cake

Mmmmmmm....




I just have to say that he sure takes after his mommy in these pictures. LOL

Fall = new background

In honor of my FAVORITE season - I decided it was time to change my blog background.
I simply love fall.
I've always loved fall.
As a child - I loved going back to school, new beginnings, seeing old friends.
I love the crisp smell in the air.
I love the cooler evenings.
I love the colors of fall.
I love October... my birthday and Halloween.
And then I love the holidays that follow... Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Mileszah

Oliver has started saying Miles... but he says "Miles-zah" I love it and can't get enough of him saying it.

Too bad he has a mouth full of cheese in this video, but you get the idea...

The things you will do...

We had our good friends Monica, Mallar, and Morgan over for dinner last night. Miles, Morgan and Oliver were happily eating dinner in front of the TV (you gotta do what you gotta do on a Friday night to get some adult time).

Of course Oliver ate his dinner quickly and he doesn't get very into watching TV, so we needed something to keep him busy. In an effort to buy ourselves a bit more time at the dinner table, we told him to get the Dirt Devil (hand vacuum) and clean up the rice on the floor. Well, he was more than happy to do so... and we just kept throwing more and more rice on the floor and he kept busy vacuuming for at least 20 minutes or so. LOL!

Gosh, the things you will do to get a few more minutes of time to eat your dinner!

Yesth

One of my favorite words that Oliver started saying recently is "yesth" (yes). I want to eat him up when he says it.

Lil Bruiser

While I was away this past weekend, enjoying a wonderful Girls Weekend in Seattle with my mom and sister (and of course my dad)... Derek was at home with the boys. He invited some of his guy friends and their kids over on Saturday to hang out.

Derek took this video of the kids dancing in our bedroom (please don't ask me why they ended up dancing in our bedroom?!) and lil Oliver is a little bruiser/troublemaker!!! What is his deal??? First hit takes a few sucker punches at sweet Morgan (clearly he needs to learn that you do NOT hit a girl!) and then he tries to ride Will like a horse! Derek said that he had to stop recording the video so he could get Oliver off of Will. LOL! He seems to be a true (John) Ramstetter! This guy could be trouble!!!
