Wow, I am soooo glad it’s May. May to me is PRE-summer. This week has been going pretty well. Xavier’s birthday went well. He did a terrific job at Sears getting his 3 year old portraits done. The only thing I didn’t like about the girl taking the pictures was all she wanted him to do is smile.  Don’t get me wrong I LOVE his smile but he has some of the BEST expressions and I was hoping to capture a few of them.  She was able to get a couple “in the moment” shots and those are my favorite poses. We ended up not getting back from Sears until close to 8pm so we held off on giving him his birthday cupcakes until the next day.

So yesterday after daycare we cooked out on the grill. Needless to say Geno probably won’t let me grill hotdogs for a looooooong time. Seems I forgot to turn down the grill and they were REALLY done!  I guess my plan worked…burn hotdogs, get banned from using the grill. Afterwards we gave Xavier his cupcake and let him try to blow out the trick candles. 


Before going inside we let Xavier play with the waterhose.  I, of course, was able to gain control of it and sprayed Geno a few times…

Yeah, he got soaked!

This weekend we are planning on trying the potty training again. The daycare suggested that every couple weeks we take a weekend aside and try. So this is the weekend. We have a soccer game early Saturday morning and we are planning to go to go to Gross Farms and pick some strawberries.

Well there you have it… another update on the Lolli’s from the south…and boy is it getting hot here!!!
