Living with danger!

I bet you are wondering why I keep the chairs down on their sides like this.....

Using a spoon...

Here Damon is, his first time using a spoon. The delicious meal being black beans and rice. I am sooo glad we have tile floors in our house! What a fun mess to watch being made. I know I need to treasure these moments, because the next time it will be my grand babies!

Afternoon at the Farm

It is Tristan's 5th birthday and we are at a little petting farm in Port Richey, Florida. We actually came here to let Tristan pick out a little baby rat for her birthday, but she does not know that part of the plan. The farm was pretty cool. It had bunny rabbits, goats, roosters, Hens and even some horses. The owners even saddled up a pony for Tristan and Damon to ride, but to my surprise they were not interested in a slow moving pony. The goats were the stars of the show. After about 2 hours of checking out the farm we finally let Tristan in on our little plan. We brought home Buttercup and Raddy, ( both boys, no little rat babies for us!) I think Tristan was not the only one to fall in love with those little guys! They are sooooooo cute! Tiny and lovable. They fall asleep together right on my shoulder. A great addition to our family. ( who said there would be no more babies in this house?)

So here we are, it is Damon's first birthday, cake time, you know the routine... This is pretty bitter sweet for me. I know that he is my last baby and yet he wants to grow so fast. I mean come on, enjoy the babyhood buddy, but no. He has got to be the one who crawls before his time, walking by 9 1/2 months. soon he will be talking. Don't get me wrong. I love the fact he is so idependant, but I love having a baby. It is going by soooo quick!~
I love watching him be amazed by the world he gets this look on his face that just melts my heart. And then there is the relationship he has with his sister. He adores her, as she does him.... She was the first to actually get him to laugh. I can't blame him she is pretty funny!
They chase eachother around the house, he usually ends up crying and I hear Tristan saying shhh shhh its o.k ( she knows she is in trouble!) but I have to walk out of the room and laugh... they are some crazy kids!

Like mother like daughter
