Staley's first haircut at a salon

The Before Pictures

Jimmy's Birthday

We kept things a little more simple this year for Jimmy's birthday. No surprise party like last year. We did the traditional Porter's Place, which Staley loved because he thought it was "Woody's Restaurant" He loves Toy Story. So, I'm afraid that we will be going twice a year now for Staley:) I made Jimmy his favorite pistacio cake that his mom always made him and Staley wanted to put Woody and the shark on the cake.

Jimmy's new toy. He decided to blast the weeds in the back yard with a torch. It was hilarious. The neighbors probably think we are white trash! The neighbor kids were all out chanting, "Burn those weeds!" I've never seen anything like it

Summer Fun!

Noahs Party at Pirate Island

Noah had his birthday party at Pirate Island. It was a blast!

Staleys New Bed!!!

Staley was very excited for his new bed, which was really Jimmy's bed when he was a little boy. It is a Disneyland bed, which made me and Staley happy. Staley thinks it's his Toy Story, Woody bed. So we put Toy Story sheets on it. He loves sleeping on the top bunk and going up and down the ladder over and over.

Cousins

We had the cousins over one night while Brody and Rachel went to stay with Grandma Ruby. We all had a blast!

Staley Quote of the Day

We were visiting Jimmy's Grandma Wilson at her retirement home, which is difficult for a little boy after so long. So I would take him on little walks around the building, but he would just keep running up ahead of me. I called out to him, "Staley don't run!" and his response was, "Mom, I have to!" I think that little statement pretty much sums up his character. He is very enregetic and excited anywhere we go to the point where we have to remind him to slow down, but he still has a hard time with it. I don't think I would change a thing. I like that he loves to laugh and be a part of things. He's a hoot!
