Cole's birthday

My dear husband had himself a birthday last week. Milo got him a subscription to Urban Climber and a very cute card, and I got him a pair of nice Merril shoes. There was a wreck on the freeway, so he stayed home in the morning. I made a nice breakfast of coffee, eggs, and pancakes. Then he left on his merry way.

Milo and I had a play date with Denise and Jaxon. We had already planned on The Cracker Barrel for brunch. I wasn't sure if Milo would eat, but he proved me wrong. For breakfast, he had 4 Eggo mini waffles, two pancakes, a fried egg, 6oz of milk, and some toast. He proceeded to eat some ham, hashbrown casserole, a buiscuit, part of a banana, and more eggs. I thought kids were supposed to eat you out of house and home when they got older! Here are J and M at the CB...lol

Then, we went to our house to play. Milo was showing Jaxon how to ride the zebra, showed him his book, and tried to get him to help him escape. haha! Besides one head slap, and some pushing, the boys did very well together. It will be fun to get together again!

When he got home, it was a tossup between going to good ol' MacCools or to Ruby River Steakhouse. The lure of a ribeye won, so off we went. We had a great time. The waitress was so fun, and of course, Milo turned on the charm and got some crackers out of it. We got Milo a jacketed sweet potato, which he loved. And, then for the birthday boy, this HUGE slice of cake...the three of us managed to eat most of it though!

The last nice day of the year

A Saturday in November that's in the 60's. Why not go and have some fun? And as always, never forget your camera!

Wordless Wednesday

The walls in the mall are totally tall

Milo and I had an excursion today. We went to the mall to meet up with Denise and Jaxon. We haven't seen them since Milo's party a month ago! We got there a little early, so we cruised on over to Mervyns...and low and behold...a SALE! On cute boy clothes...$30 later, Denise called. We walked over to meet them. Jaxon was smiling sooo big! He was sporting his new stroller!

We decided on Chick-Fil-A for lunch. Milo, the usual piggy, was too busy watching Jaxon to really eat very well...though he did manage 4 nuggets and a few fries. The mall has a play area for lil' kiddos. So we went there (after a stop at the shoe store and Gymboree). The kids had a blast! Crawling, walking, tunneling. It was a grand time.

We've had a busy week so far this week. Monday, Milo started being watched my my mom and other miscellaneous people at her work as my BIL has started a new job and is unable to watch Milo. Luckily, this is a temporary situation until the end of the school semester. I'm not sure what we'll do next semester though. I had a test in my physiology class, which I feel pretty good about...but her tests are hard to guess at how you did. So far, every one of her tests, I've scored an 83...I'm hoping for yet another repeat. :)

Last night, we went to dinner with Poopader to our favorite, MacCools. Of course, Milo is so well known there. We did the half-price appetizers again and ordered Milo a children's grilled cheese. The pig ate most of the sandwich, the applesauce, and had quite a few bites of the potatoes. He also snaked on cheerios and dried fruit before dinner came out. Milo and I went to the shuffle board after dinner to play for a bit. He wasn't as into it as he was the first time.

He has also started to give kisses! Well..he licks you...but it's all in fun! I love it.

On Saturday, we went to the park. Oh what fun! We had a bit of excitement when we sent Milo down a big slide by himself. He hit a hump on the slide and almost flew off! It was kinda scary! But, he had a great time playing, and loved the slides even after that incident.

Milo the Monkey!
