father's day

Today we had so much fun celebrating the best dads ever. I am one lucky girl to have an amazing dad, husband and brother who are such great dads. Here's a few pics from our cookout today.

I'm BACK...

I wish I had some wild story to post about, like I've been busy traveling the world for the past 3 months ....Actually, come to find out, I suck at blogging. You live, you learn. That being said I am going to TRY my hardest to post more often. Life has been so busy lately and even when I have time to sit down and blog I end up just watching BRAVO instead. I'm also an Instagram junkie so no blog posts but tons of pics on IG. How did my mom ever survive without it?!? I track everything going on with Liam thru a snapshot and a quick post on there.

Liam just turned 21 months, why is time moving so fast?! He is hilarious. He is talking so much, so the fits are a little more entertaining :) The latest word he has said is cupcake, where he screamed it at a birthday party. I always said "I'll just wait until he asks for one instead of just giving it to him." The DAY HAS COME, he won and tore that cupcake up! We have started time out, he loves it. Go FIGURE. He sits there so quietly and waits for his minute to be up, when he sees us coming to get him his eyes light up like a kid on Christmas. He says "sowy" in the sweetest voice ever and opens his arms and gives the biggest bear hug. Now that I'm typing this, I kinda love time outs too :) He is still working on the teeth department, with only 5 on top and 4 on the bottom. We are getting there, maybe by his 5th birthday he will have a full set. We just finished swim lessons, more of a work out for me but I need it so it's all good. He loved it though, THANK GOD!

I have tried a few new recipes. Liam's favorite has been the Bubble Up Enchiladas. It is yummy but next time I'm going to add some veggies in there, maybe corn or black beans. Last week we also tried out Skinny Tex Mex Casserole. Josh and I loved it, it was a little spicy for Liam because of the Rotel tomatoes and green chilies, but he still ate some. I wanted to make Liam some cookies and found this recipe on Pinterest and Liam danced while he ate them, I take that as he liked them:) They are Healthy Banana Cookies. I had some Reese's chips (maybe that cancels out the healthy part of the recipe) leftover from some other tasty treat I made so instead of the walnuts I put the chips in there, SO GOOD!

On to the pictures, from Easter to Memorial Day Weekend :)
