It will grow back....

Is what Ryan kept saying to me as I cried like a baby yesterday.

So this is why...

I found out today why Ryan is the boys favorite.

I leave him alone with them for a few minutes and come out to find this.

They had turned the driveway into a slip and slide.

The lovely, covered in grease and dirt, driveway slip and slide extravaganza.

I think Dylan had more fun on this dirty slip and slide then he has had in his life thus far.
I think the secret is out....now Dylan knows that Daddy is the fun one.....Damn.

Summer time

Summer time means....

Watermelon

Mothers day do-over

Because I was sick all day on the real Mothers day we decided to have Mothers day today

We went to a hotel and had brunch.

There was a little bit of a wait and the boys LOVED the pager, they got really excited when it went off.

WE played at the pool and in the little fountains.

We had yummy icecream sandwiches.

and the best thing of all was that I got LOTS of kisses from Dallas. LOTS!

Have you ever....

shoved an entire banana in your mouth ?

fit it all in....

and managed to swallow it.

Mothers day weekend

Mothers day weekend went like this...

Friday we went to a ballgame with Ryan's boss.

Saturday, I woke up and could not get out of bed I figured that what I thought had just been the "cold from hell" had lasted a little to long and I went to the doc. They had me put this lovely mask on because I was coughing too much......dang swineflu!

Sunday(the real mothers day): I was in bed all day drugged up from all the meds for all the various sicknesses I had(bronchitus, flu(not of the swine variety) and an ear infection(who knew adults could even get those!)

So....here at the Thorne house we pretended that it wasn't Mothers day. So if you come over this weekend and wonder who the crazy people are who are celebrating Mothers day a week late.....just play along.

Dallas and Ryan's vacation

Here are some pictures from Dallas and Ryan's little vacation.

Dallas had SO MUCH FUN with Grandma and Grandpa. They looked for bugs, fed hummingbirds, went on walks, painted, played with Grandpa's trains.

All while Ryan was living it up on the Golf course:)

I had it all planned out. Dallas was going to come home and be so excited to see me.......pretty sure he got home, looked at me, threw himself on the ground and started crying, "I want Grandma and Grandpa's house!"

Im just glad the kid had a good time. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!!

Quality time: day 2

We stayed in our PJ's most of the day...

which was a good idea because we both took a lot of naps.

We did some cleaning.

we finally got out of our PJ's and went on a date:)

Quality time: Day 1

Here is a recap of Dylan's first day of "quality time"

At one point when I thought he was getting bored, I handed him the forbidden toys.....lightning McQueen and Chick!!! Believe me he has wanted to touch these two but has never gotten a chance....

Chillin with Dylan

Big D is going on a little vacation to Grandma and Grandpa's house.....

I think Dylan is thinking about all the attention he is going to get.....

and relishing the thought of playing with all D's toys......he he he ha ha haaaaaaaaa
