"I'm 6!"

Actually...Bridger just turned 3 but deep down in his heart he thinks he's 6, so that's what he tells people.  He's a couple years off, but who's counting? :)

Last year when I bought his birthday presents, I took him with me and he was oblivious to the whole thing.  I tried to do it again this year, but wasn't successful.  It's hard to go into the toy department at Walmart and nonchalantly hide a Hot Wheels semi under the lettuce.  He's just too savvy now.  I told him I was getting toys for his cousin, but he didn't buy it and kept asking when he could have his semi.  The little stinker.

Bridger has an obsession with tractors and construction vehicles, usually putting me in my place when I call something a "big truck".  "No, Mom", he says in exasperation, "THAT is a skid steer loader". I'm sure he's thinking to himself, "Is she for REAL?"  However, it is true enlightenment on my part. And I sure do appreciate his patience with an imbecile like me.

He has now expanded his deep love for motor vehicles to include Hot Wheels, so we had a construction vehicle/Hot Wheels party and it seemed to make all his dreams come true.  Happy Birthday to my Bridgy Boo!

Spring Break

This past spring break I was lucky enough to go home to Ontario and visit with my family for a few days.  Here are a few photos with 2 of my favorite people (my mom and sister, Kaisa).  Looks like I didn't get the "wear purple" memo.  I feel so left out. :)

And finally, our supermodel pose...watch out Tyra Banks!  That's right, we're sexy and we know it. :)

All Aboard

This has to be one of my boys favorite past times - making a train out of the dining room chairs.  Whenever I mop, this is inevitably what I find in the living room.  This time, however, they got creative and wanted to put a "roof" on the train with the blankets. I remember my sister, Kaisa, and I doing the same thing when Mom would mop.  Guess it's in our genes. :)
