Ode to my...

ketchup loving... (on nearly everything! But score one for the mommies... I found an organic-no high fructose corn syrup alternative! Which thankfully has relieved some of my guilt from having to make my own, not as easy as it sounds :) Props to the crazy granola health-food-crazed lobbyists!)
safety patrol superstar... (He has inherited my slight worrisome nature that I prefer to chalk up to common sense and a healthy knowledge of safe practices - however, this helmet has been a mainstay in his wardrobe lately after a light conversation as to why mommy thinks it's crazy that so many motorcyclists in Oklahoma don't wear helmets. He keeps telling me that he's protecting his head. Super! Now I just need all my future mother-son talks to be so convincing... starting with watch out for the little vixens who want to hold hands on the playground! )

budding outdoors man... (we just had to "go fishing" in preparation for Grandpa's ensuing visit after Ben spoke with him on the phone. So take that - crazy Oklahoma 85 degrees one day and 55 degrees the next weather! We can find more then one use for our pool!)
who's so good at convincing me to join in on his fun...
and... daddy's BIG helper! (No dogs were harmed, at least not physically, in the making of this blog entry :))
love,

What did I ever do before you came along, and how did I think THAT was really living!?!
