Cash Makes Friends

Like most Wednesdays, I got together with my mommies group again today.

When we started this group Cash and two of the other boys were only about six weeks old and it has been so much fun to watch them grow together. Now they're starting to notice and interact with each other (although sometimes Cash still enjoys just looking at the fan).

Today, Cash was very interested in making friends with Henry. Henry is an adorable little boy who is a couple weeks older than Cash.

Here are a couple pictures of Cash & Henry. Cash is certainly more interested in Henry than Henry is in Cash - but I imagine that's because Cash looks up to Henry because he's older.

Here is a cute little picture of our group (although I kind of cut Bethany and Archer out) - what a shocker, Cash is looking at the fan.


And here's a picture of Cash just looking silly.

Thirty Second Movie Review - Knight & Day

Knight and Day

I usually enjoy Tom Cruise action movies - but this one was a pretty big failure (CGI was awful and Cruise and Diaz have zero chemistry). I have no idea why it was even called Knight and Day and I detest cutesy movie titles. Graby and Buttin were both well behaved, but neither one of them seemed to like it much either.

Here's a picture of the Graby - he was mesmerized by the computer this afternoon and really liked looking at his own pictures. Here he is looking at a picture of himself, looking at the computer.

No Looking Back

Even though the Austin Half is not until February - I registered for it today (it's $15 cheaper if you register by June 30th). It's the first race that I've registered for post-pregnancy and I'm excited but a little apprehensive. I've essentially started completely over with running and it's a little frustrating to be exhausted after 3 miles. I know I'll get there, it'll just take time - lots and lots of sweaty time.

Here's a cute little picture of the Graby. He's just so sweet and mellow.

Swimming - Day 2

OK, so this isn't quite the pool we had yesterday, but I still had fun.

This morning I woke up thinking that we should really have one of those very classy plastic pools for our backyard. I sent Buttin off to Wallyworld - and $10 later - Cash looks just about as excited as he did during our trip to Target.


I really just like this picture of me giving him kisses.


And here's just another one of him looking thrilled.

Swimming With Friends!

This afternoon we took Cash for a little swim with Mark, Jen and their children JT and Stefan and Ann, Ben and their son Connor.

I was a little nervous about the sun - so I think I was a little crazy with the sunscreen, but Cash man got a good 30 minute swim done before it was time to go home and eat.

This picture cracks me up - I didn't realize his little hat made him look like a bee keeper.

Here are Cash and Buttin swimming around - Graby seemed to prefer moving around, which is not surprising.
Here are Buttin, Cash, Ben and Connor. Connor wasn't really having too much fun in the water.

Here's Cash taking his turn not having fun. That's cute little JT in the background, she swims with flippers so she can stand on the bottom of the pool and move quickly when she does decide to swim.

Some of my favorite pictures of the afternoon (yes, there were a ton - Jen asked me if I EVER put the camera down and no, I really don't) were of Buttin drying Cash off and getting him ready to go back home. I just love this one.

When it was time to go, Cash was getting hungry but he still managed to give me this cute face.

I can't wait to go swimming again and I think Cash feels the same.

My First Trip To Target

Gigi - this one is for you!

Today my mom (in all her wisdom) decided to take me on my first shopping trip (remember - she did want a girl, but she now tells me she wouldn't trade me for 100 of them) to Target.

As you can see, I'm super excited:

Our main objective was to buy stuff for my swim this afternoon. I loved the movie Toy Story 3, so here I am approving of my new towel.

Next, a swimsuit. Surprisingly there's not a BIG selection of little swimsuits for boys, but man - you could open a whole other store with the swimsuit choices for little girls. I really wanted a Speedo, but I guess this surf board thingy will have to do.



After all MY shopping, I was exhausted and decided to take a nap.

While I was sleeping, my mom decided to be a dork.

Then, because my mom is a good person, she decided to pay for our goodies.



This girl thought my mom was a dork too.

Then we packed up the car and went home.

THE END

It's A Small World

I learned Wednesday, while meeting with my moms group, that Candy's (one of the other moms) doctor was - wait for it - DOCTOR BITCH!

As it turns out, Doctor Bitch didn't actually deliver Henry (her son) - it would be REALLY good story if it was Dr. Elephant, but it was another doctor in the practice. According to Candy, Dr. Bitch is all business - which for me, is great when you're looking for an accountant, but not so great when you're going through something like childbirth.

Here is little Cash man in a (yet another) new outfit. This one was purchased by Buttin - he just couldn't resist when he went to Babies R Us yesterday to pick up another car seat base.
