Bike Races/ Starting our Bedroom Dresser

Well, we went to the Bike Races and ate some yummy food. I can't believe how fast they go, about 40mph! It was cool to see, Stevie enjoyed walking around and looking at everything. He ate a corndog and eventually fell asleep in the stroller.

 A new toy!

 Our starting point for the dresser, this wood needs everything done  to it, you can buy it already sanded, cut to thickness, and squared, but it will cost you 4 times as much!

 His amazing shop!!!

 Me, using the yellow machine below, this machine helps you work the wood down to the thickness that  you want and its very loud! We didn't get too far today, but we got a start. We mainly got the 4 end posts for the dresser ready, they need a few more things done and the face frames ready. When I came last year to do the night stands, I didn't realize what kind of work you had to do to the wood to make it look so good. It is a BIG process, but it makes you appreciate ALL the work you have done when its finished! More photos as we keep working this week.

Our Road Trip to Bettendorf, Iowa

Stevie and I drove to Bettendorf, Iowa today to visit Grandma Barb and Walt. We are going to stay a week and visit with them. I was a little nervous about the long drive with Stevie, but he did pretty good. I went during nap time and we had a few rough spots, but better than I thought. Can't wait for the fun this week. Here are some photos of him along the way.

 Stevie decided he was going to read a book at the beginning of the ride...

 Then he thought a nap was a better idea.

 We took a stop for a snack and Mom set up the DVD player. (He has some of his snack on his face, :)

 Finally we made it! Here he is all smiles with Grandma Barb

Splashing Around

Stevie in the bathtub splashing around and having fun. He certainly soaked me!

Friday Night at Applebee's

Friday night my mom came up to hang out and to take us out to dinner. I meant to post this sooner, but got busy and now I am sick with strep throat. I can't believe I am sick in May, it has been 20 years since I have had this. Anyways, Sydney came with us and we had a blast. After dinner we went home and watched a move, the 4th Shrek, which I recommend if you haven't seen it.

 Stevie eating a lemon that he isn't so sure about!

 Yeah, not really liking the lemon.

 My favorite dessert from Applebee's except they burned the sauce, big "no,no"

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day spent with the Hubby and Stevie. We went to church, Valentino's and hung out the rest of the day playing outside and inside. I am truly blessed with such an amazing family.

 Gotta love Vals!!

Reading to Myself

Stevie was flipping through one of his books and babbling a way as if he was reading to himself. It was super cute.
