Big Tank Box

Who needs fancy expesensive toys? My parents got a couple of new chairs that were delivered in huge boxes. We brought one home for Price to play in and it has been a big hit. He decorated the inside with buttons (garage sale stickers) so it could be a spaceship, army tank or a airplane. He has had fun playing with it in the garage. He is so cute!

Well....

My aunt Tammie organized a fundraiser for a little girl named Audri who is fighting cancer. The event was called "So You Wanna Look Like a Cheerleader?" It was a bootcamp of sorts for women of all ages. Anyway, I was getting ready to leave for that event one evening last week and this is the conversation that took place:

Me: "Hey bud, Mamma is going to leave for a little bit. Daddy is staying here you with you and Maggie Beth, okay?"

Price: "Where are you going?"

Me: "I am going to workout."

Price: "What are you going to be doing for your work?"

Me: "I am going to exercise!"

Price: "YOU EXERCISE???" (accompanied by the most confused look I have ever seen on my son's face.)

Me: "Well.....I do now!"

Needless to say Jon got a big laugh from this dialogue. And now that the soreness is finally gone (5 days later!), I have been doing some form of "exercise" everyday. So there.

Big Boy Bike Rider!

Price learned how to ride his bike about a month ago! A nearby vacant house offered a long driveway, off the steet, to practice. Between Jon, me, Yaya and Poppy and Maggie Beth: Price had a crowd to encourage him. On occasion a passerby or neighbor would share the moment with some cheers aswell! He took a few tumbles, but one big crash in particular sent us home to clean up the blood and fetch a few band-aids. Though he was a little nervous about getting back on the bike (new knee pads, elbow pads and helmet from Yaya and Poppy helped), he got back on and is now loving his newest mode of transportation yet again! What a fun and exciting milestone for a little guy!!!

Father's Day 2010

Happy Father's Day to a wonderful Daddy!
Breakfast in bed!
(Price 5 years, Maggie Beth 6 months)

2 lil fish!

Maggie had her first experience in the pool recently. She loved it! Now we have 2 little fish-children. Price took right to the water. He was cautious of the deep end (which is good), but now he is swimming and jumping in down there too. We enjoy such great family time in our backyard. I love summer!

TASTY TUESDAY

Super Salmon

Salmon Filets, thawed
butter
lemon
Cavender's all purpose Greek Seasoning (found in the spice aisle)
foil
cooking spray

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Lay out foil and spray with cooking spray. Place salmon on foil. Spread butter on filet like you would a piece of toast. Sprinkle with Cavender's Seasoning. Put 2-3 slices of lemon on filet. Fold foil so that the fish is completely enclosed. Bake in oven or on the grill for 15 minutes. Remove when done. (Fish should flake easily with a fork at the center when it is done). Serve with a flavored rice and some veggies. Our favorite "go to" veggie is broccoli! Enjoy!

Pre K Grad

Price, with his precious teacher, Mrs. Worden

Price "graduated" preschool! He had a super cute little program, complete with gown and tossing of the cap at the end of announcing the pre-k class of 2010. As each child crossed the stage, they said the child's name, their favorite thing about pre-k, what they wanted to be when they grow up, and what award the teacher gave that child.

They announced "Price Molder. Price's favorite thing about pre-k was working at centers. When Price grows up he wants to work with his Daddy. Price is being given the "Most friendly" award." Awwww. Jon and I were both a little misty eyed. So sweet.

I have a feeling the next 13 years are going to fly by! sigh.......
