Mother's Day

This is my attempt at getting a cute picture of Roman and I for Mother's Day.
You can imagine his mood at 4:00 in the afternoon on a Sunday after church with no nap. . . .
And this is as good as it was going to get.:)
He did get me a very cute card and gift though.

Thank you Roman!
(And my mom for helping:)

I thank my Father in Heaven every day for the privilege of being Roman's mom.
What a wonderful blessing it is!

THE SANDBOX

I introduced the "sanbox" in a previous post but I didn't realize at the time how much Roman was going to love this thing. It's a daily ritual of his to go out to the sandbox after breakfast and do some serious "sanbox" playing. 
He loves the water, the mud, the shovels, the trains. . . . and sometimes he even uses the trains to drink the water.:/ 
Yuck!
Boys will be boys. 
I mean, look how serious this kid is!
He LOVES it! And whatever makes Roman happy, makes me happy!
Thank you "sanbox"!

A Day of Fun with the Cousins :)

Quite often I start feeling bad for Roman that he doesn't have any siblings. . . .and probably won't for a long time. . . . . so I steal my brother's kids for the day.:) Roman absolutely LOVES his cousins and always has a fun time with them. 
This particular Saturday in May we wanted to get out of the house and enjoy the nice weather.
* * * 
We first stopped off at the Dinosaur Museum, then had lunch at Subway (which the kids choose), then went to the park for an hour of play and to finish up, we filled up the little swimming pool in the back yard and splashed around. I think the kids had a fun day. . . .I know Roman did because he took a 4 hour nap that day.:)

The only pictures I got were at the Dinosaur Museum. . . .  and that's probably because I actually had some small amount of energy at the beginning of the day.:)


It was nearly impossible to keep Roman out of & off of the displays. Thank heavens for Jett & Tenli who helped me wrangle him.:)

"Sit a chair."

Jett & Tenli are such great cousins!! We love them SO much and I'm so thankful to live near them so Roman has some play buddies. Can't wait for little Locklyn to get a little bigger so she can play with the cousins too.:)
