Much of my day is spent following Bubba around, picking up the toys, pots and pans, tupperware, shoes, re-rolling yarn balls, and digging through the trash to make sure he hasn't tossed any shoes, books or keys into it. By the end of the day, I am exhausted! And yet I never feel like I am teaching him enough.
Today I was surprised to find him in the kitchen. He had opened the cabinet under the sink, pulled out the dishwasher detergent, opened up the dishwasher, and started pouring the soap into the slot.
It was amazing to watch my 15 month old (baby) do something he had only ever watched me do! I was so proud, and thankful he didn't try to eat it!
When Allen and I were first married my parents instilled on me how important it was to teach and lead by example. It wasn't until now that I REALLY get the importance of it. Our kids pick up EVERYTHING we do. So when on a rare occasion I turn on the TV and grab a carton of ice-cream, and chips, oh and some cookies....... I'll make sure the little booger's already asleep!
Thanks Mom and Dad, I love you!
Every time Ari puts my old sunglasses on, he runs over to the mirror to check himself out.
He knows he's a total stud!
My favorite part of our day is catching one of these poses.

Allen, what is he wearing??

He surprised us with getting "dressed" in the morning with Allen.

Ari is always playing with the pots and spoons.

A natural artist.

Hi Patins!
The Woidas just came to check on little Ari and Sierra is now blowing kisses to that little football player stud! We miss you guys so much. Thank goodness for these great photos and wonderful updates.
P.S. Heather- your pics are truly amazing. What camera do you use to capture this little guy?
Ari is absolutely adorable. Thanks for sharing. What a little miracle heart baby.
Hey guys! We're just checking in wondering how you guys are doing.
Hope all is well. We'd love to hear an update. We had another baby, fyi. Her name is Natalee and she is three months old.
