Weekly Events

So this little man ventured into our room the other day, found my new pillow with satin pillow case and immediately became attached to it. He pushed it off my bed and carried it around with him all day, stopping periodically to lay his head down on it; totally cracked me up!

Mike found this frog while knocking doors and brought him home as a pet for Becks. We kept him for a week; Beck's was so thrilled to play with him and feed him crickets. We asked him what he wanted to name him and he said "Froggie" (from his favorite books). Amari liked watching the frog jump around and got a kick out of him jumping on him but other than that he wasn't that interested. The most interesting and actually quite incredible thing was when Mike took the boys to let the frog go. A few days later Amari kept looking at the binding on his jungle book which showcased a frog, and then he started pointing out his window. He did this quite a few times—pointing at the frog then pointing at the window—before I caught on to what he was trying to relay: they had let the froggie go outside—SO SO SMART!!

Fun day at the zoo with friends!

Britton Mae LOVED manhandling Amari with this foam

Long day at the Zoo = snooze time on the car ride home

Grandma E sent this amazing package to the boys; Beckahm LOVED playing with these paints

Amari was in desperate need of a hair cut. But when Mike cut off all of his beautiful golden locks I freaked out. I have to say I DID end up LOVING the final look! (Mommy needs to chill out). He looks like such a big, handsome boy!
