Mind Your Manners, Mum.

I learned my lesson. You know that quote, "While we try to teach our children about life, our children teach us what life is all about"? Turner pretty much does both of these in our household.

Running 10 minutes late already. I'm trying to pack snacks and get Turner ready to go to a dinner. Addison is down at the shop helping Uncle Caul with a trailer..I went outside to get something from the fridge to go back inside to finish so we could leave... Turner did not want to come back inside.

"Turner, get inside. We are late."
The stare
"Turner (With my strong mother eye) do not just stand there. Get inside"
The stare
"Get inside. I should not have to tell you this many times."
The stare
"We are very late. Daddy will be up in a second. We need to leave."
The stare
"Turner please come inside."
..shrug of shoulders. Smile.
He enters
.
Mother here never said please. Why should he come inside??...learned my lesson! :) I.love.this.kid.

Spring Break 2012!! Woo hoo!

 Our Spring Break officially started today, so we got rid of the paci! I told him it's time to say our goodbyes. He waved..smiled..and was saying bye.I teared up...he came walking to give a hug (slow background music..)..he then saw a bug, so he started running after it. He really didn't get it..and he REALLY didn't get it at nap. No nap today..but he's asleep now..we shall see. I had Addison pick up the 'Turtle Star Light' thinking that could be the next step/distraction. Again...we shall see.

We have had some fun days.
Loving his independence lately (& I really mean that) I also love the big hugs he gives me. He's talking a lot and has the funniest expressions on his face. His big big expression where he shakes his whole body is priceless!

Just makes you smile


This tree was beautiful this year! Loved driving up to it daily

His big boy look

Enjoying outside play

Broke my heart...Addison was out of town and Turner wanted to hang out with the boys. We went on a hike..and when we got to the shop he just knew Daddy was in there. He didn't understand why he wasn't letting him in. So sad. Needless to say, I had to carry my crying child to the 'next fun thing' I could find.




Marcy invited Turner and my mom to make a pizza! He loved it. He put sausage and pickles on his pizza. They went to the park afterwards and he ate the entire thing!




Sooner or later...he was trying to chase after kitty-kitty. :)
 He didn't get too far.

Contemplating.

Goofing off for Daddy! When Daddy travels I take lots of pictures to send him...I know if I was gone as much as he is, I would want many!

Luck of the Irish! Wishing his good friend, Jevin, a happy 2nd birthday!!

Picking out his birthday present..I know Addison will pull this picture out a few years from now when Turner is whining from mowing the yard for his allowance. :)

We were at Barnes and Noble JUST in time to see Cat in the Hat!!



Razorback Baseball Game! We had a blast!



Cuddling with Aunt Lydia

Taking some 'me' time after a long day...

Heading off to church! I was so happy he actually wore the tie. Such a big boy!

Love this picture


Got a haicut! He actually sat in the airplane.


Saying bye-bye to his paci...like I said...he didn't get it :)

Fun times outside with Grandmama! A picture she took that I loved!

"I got my haircut today." (

He heard it was raining, so he needed some rainboots.
 I was surprised that he actually wanted them!


It's what's for dinner!
Sliders, carrot chips and sweet potato fries! He ate the fries and slider. I am bound and determined to get him to eat veggies. He threw a HUGE fit because he wanted a rice krispie treat for dessert, but I didn't give him one because he didn't eat his carrots. I love cooking! I will keep trying to be creative with the veggies...any tricks up your sleeve, please share!
