Well...this pic pretty much sums up our weekend. It didn't seem to matter to Jace that it was 90+ degrees....we had to have our cowboy hat and boots and our four-wheeler. If you look real close you will notice some lovely camo shorts accessorized with white socks and well-loved cowboy boots. I tried to explain to Jace that cowboy boots and shorts don't go together, but you can see who won that argument. Jace and I survived the week as Mark was in Idaho Falls all week for training. ( I should say Jace survived as I soon realized how much I rely on Mark to be the reliable parent...picking up and dropping Jace off from daycare.) We were both very glad to have him back home! Jace had his two year checkup on Wednesday. He is a whopping 30 lbs and 35 inches, and in the 70th percentile on both weight and height. He passed all his 2 year old major milestones with flying colors!
The Dr. gave us the "all clear' for Peanut Butter...so we had our first PB&J sandwich. Luckily Jace seemed to like it, as with his Mommy's wonderful cooking, it will soon be a staple in the Bateman house. Hopefully Daddy will wait awhile on showing Jace how to build the "triple-decker"! I guess I forgot to mention that Jace has moved into his big boy chair, and is now sitting at the table in his booster seat. He really is getting to be a big boy, changing each and every day...and I try to remind myself each day to treasure this...as it soon will be gone. (Cue music - Kenny Chesney, "Don't Blink" ;) ).
So, I want to finish this off by sharing a few of my favorite pics from this weekend. Mark and Jace gave me the greatest SLR camera for Christmas and I am having a blast taking pictures. The only hard thing is, I take so many...it is impossible to want to delete any...not that I'm biased or anything! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do...
P.S. That is one TOUGH cowboy hat!
