Walker Texas Ranger!

We officially have a walker. Although he prefers to crawl since he does that so quickly, he officially has the ability to walk across the room! It is cute, in sort of a gorilla-like way!

This week has been crazy-busy, and cold, and wet, and dreary. Jeff has been gone all week from sun up to sun down leaving one little boy missing his daddy VERY MUCH. It also leaves one Mommy missing her hubby as well. I am exhausted! He is just a busy little boy. The school year right now is the busiest for the high school with graduation and all of the end of the year events, so Jeff is being pulled in a few directions. Allie had a softball game away on Monday and home tonight. Jeff went to the band concert at school last night. He will be happy once the school year is over, although he does work year round. It is just a lot this final month with all of the "senior" stuff. He loves his job, but we are all in desperate need of a break - we have tomorrow and Monday off - WOOO HOO! We are hoping to get a few things done like mulching... oh how exciting!

As I wrote before, Jeff's parents had been down some the past few weeks... specifically Monday and Tuesday of this week. Mario got a bit used to seeing them in the yard I guess, because when I took him outside this morning and stood on the porch, I swear he was looking for them. He is looking for all of the machines and things! If you are reading this at Jenny's - Mario misses is Grandma and Grandpa, so we will be calling you so he can chat!

Allie's softball team won again tonight, and Al has been doing very well. She loves it! We are happy she is down to ONE sport.

The pictures today are from me TRYING to get Mario walking... but as we all know, it is easier said than done. Kids sure have plans of their own... these are funny, though!

"I'm such a sexy Guat Tot... don't you agree?"
"Here , get my good side, mom. Tyra says to smile with my eyes."
"How is this Ms. Banks? Top Model material?"
"Do you like my teeth? I use them to chew window sills and cribs. I think I am a beaver!"
"Naaaaaa, I'm just Mo!"

"How about this pose? My mom says it reminds her of some movie where he jumps on the spinning bed...Austin something."Groovy, baby. Oh, behave.

This next picture was him walking, then falling. It is not cute. It is seriously frightening... but then again, I am strange... look at the picture....

Does anyone remember the Six Flags commercial with the old man in the tux dancing... he looked like THIS:

His name was "Mr. Six"... google it.. I swear the pic looked like him... does anyone agree... or it looks a little like:

UNCLE JUNIOR from the Sopranos... I know, I am sick, but that is what I thought of when I uploaded!

"What is THIS mom?"

so serious. playing.

"Yes, my mom still gives me a bottle at night... shut up, I am still a baby!"
"Milk, it does a body good!"
so silly.

so serious. a man of many moods....

Have a GREAT Memorial Day Weekend!!!!!!!!!!
