Tigers in the Cage


Playing at the drugstore with Mommy and Grandma

Drinking milk and wearing all of our race medals

Oliver had a really fun day! We started it in the morning by going to a special Memorial Day YMCA thingy. We had fun playing, exercising and eating snacks. Afterwards we met Grandma and ate lunch at Souplantation with her. It was tons of fun! Oliver loves his Grandma and enjoyed seeing her today! After we came home and played a lot!
We worked in the kitchen making pumpkin puree from one of pumpkins in the garden. It was a lot of work but we got a lot of yummy healthy puree! We made yummy pumpkin bars and two loaves of pumpkin bread. Mommy tried to make it all as "healthy" as she could! (Flax, our own chicken eggs, wheat flour, apple sauce substituted for canola oil, and more.) Oliver and Daddy loved the bars! They ate them after working outside for a long time! Now they are resting in their tiger cage in Oliver's room. (They were playing vicious tigers earlier!)

Oliver had a great day. He played in the morning and then Daddy and Oliver went on a spur of the moment adventure! They took the sprinter to the beach in Oceanside! They had a great time on the train. They walked on the pier, talked to fishermen, played, ate hamburgers, and enjoyed each others company. They had an awesome day and Oliver loved the train ride! It was very easy to do from the station near our house! In the evening we all went to dinner and then drove around the city- Sunday drivers (just like old times!). Oliver fell asleep on the way home after a long adventurous day!

Busy Owl


Choosing his snack

Coming home from Chuck E. Cheeses

Going to help Daddy- Daddy is his hero!

Oliver had a very good day. In the morning he woke up slowly and cuddled with Mommy. Then we took off for the Y! Oliver had so much fun, he hasn't been in awhile! When we left he got a healthy snack and then went the special way through the gym hallway. He stopped at the door of a step class and he saw Donna exercising! He was pretty excited to see her- but we kept going so she could concentrate. He likes to see people exercising! After we visited with Grammie and Grandpa then came home to hang out. We had fun playing, resting, playing, and then eating dinner with Daddy. Daddy took Oliver to a special place tonite while Mommy went on an errand. When the got home- Oliver was very excited! He had been to Chuck E. Cheeses with Daddy. Fun- but it took awhile for the little Owl to calm down. He is resting now and soon will be asleep. It was a great Saturday.

Oliver and Daddy Resting in Bed

Oliver had a good day. We spent the day at home. In the morning we went on a nice 5 mile run to the Stone Brewery and back with Ranger. It was beautiful out! Oliver had a nice time. We came home to play more. Oliver was very creative today. He took his monster truck and raced it around in the potting soil of our little inside tree. It made a big mess- but was so fun for him and so creative that Mommy let him play like that. (He also painted the counter tops with cottage cheese at lunch- fun!) In the evening he took a nice bath, rested with Daddy, and is now sleeping with Daddy in his room. It was a really nice day.

Jeep Man


Going to Joan's House

Little Man in the Jeep

Oliver woke up in the morning and wanted his Mommy. Oliver and Daddy called Mommy and Oliver talked and cried to Mommy on the phone. It made Mommy miss Oliver a lot! He recovered though and had a lot of fun at Joan's house! Afterwards we came home and played, ate dinner, took a bike ride to the mailbox- Oliver is pedaling his bike now! We are now getting ready for bed and Oliver is taking care of his little baby boy that we got in the mail today. He likes to take care of babies.

my little man's mouth

Oliver had a really good day. He feels much better and his rash/blisters are starting to scab over. Grandma came over in the morning and played with Oliver all day until Daddy came home from work. Oliver is not contagious anymore so Grandma and Oliver went to the mall together. They rented the firetruck stroller and rode on the cars. They had fun. Mommy will add pictures that Grandma sent to her phone later. Oliver played with Daddy in the evening and then hung out with Mommy for a bit- its her late Tuesday. We are ready for ni-ni now.

Fussy Oliver

Bubble Beard is covering his sores and cleaning them

My poor little guy

Oliver had a fussy day today. He was happy to cuddle with Mommy most of the day- and play with his toys but he was a little uncomfortable. The sores around his mouth don't hurt much but they seem uncomfortable. They are beginning to scab over which is a good sign that they are healing. He ate well today and took a nice nap. He woke up very fussy, but that is how he usually is when he hasn't been feeling 100 percent. Grandma is coming in the morning to watch Oliver at our nest. Hopefully he will be feeling much much better.

Sick Little Oliver


Eating some lunch/snacks at his "inside" picnic table

Eating and playing on his table

Oliver is still sick today. His rash around his mouth happens to be Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. It spread to his hands and his bum. We called the doctor and she would like Oliver to stay home tomorrow. He rested all day today- played a bit- but mostly resting and will be resting with Mommy tomorrow. He is now going ni-ni with Daddy in his room on the sleeping bag. They are chit chatting about different things. Its cute when they go to bed together.

Oliver had a pretty good day. He is not 100% better so he had some ups and downs. We played around the house in the morning and then he helped Daddy with some mulch down below- then they met Mommy at Aunt Ali's and Uncle Kelly's baby shower BBQ. It was a lot of fun. Oliver cuddled with Mommy a lot because he wasn't feeling well and then he played a little with the older kiddos that were there. It was a fun night and we can't wait to meet baby Rachel!!!
