Ready for the French beaches. Oui Oui!

Doesn't everyone bathe their child in a Speedo?

Morning walk to Altera

I'm a big boy now!

Oliver finally has his own room and a new crib to go with it! I'm sure he is as excited as I am. Grandma Tina's quilt matches it perfectly!

Oliver's chores around the house

Helping daddy do research...

Making sure I eat my dinner...

Eating my fingers. Need to get every drop!

And helping Mommy play the piano.
Gosh, they expect a lot out of me!

Guess who got carpet... Me!!!

My boys breaking it in for me.

At least Oliver decided to help out for a change!

Girls night out

Hooray for progress!

(This will soon be a built in bookshelf)

Our house is finally coming together. I'm excited that we almost have Oliver's room completly done! It will be so nice for him to have his own space to keep all of his toys and books.

Happy baby

Oliver and I had a great time today. We had a mini photo shoot and took lots of cute pictures. He was in a really playful mood so it was easy to capture his little personality on film. He is so much fun!

Tosa Parade

Happy Fourth of July! Oliver and I had a great time at the Tosa parade with our friends Amanda and Don. It might rival Preston for best parade ever... I'll have to let you know when the verdict comes in. And yes, I just stumbled out of bed like five minuets before this picture was taken. Parades start early around here!

Our house in the middle of the street

Our little house.
I'm like a professional shrub trimmer nowadays...

My beautimus peonies!

Lovin' the big boy seat!

Oliver's new favorite thing is to be upright at all times. Which is a good thing considering he was getting a bit of a flat spot on the back of his head. He also has developed a hole in his lip, the poor kid drools constantly!

Idaho

Me, Oliver, Sienna and Kristine

The Wheatley cousins

Matt and I had a great time in Idaho earlier this month. It was Oliver's first airplane ride and he did very well (no surprise there). He got to meet his cousins for the first time. Reagan was particularly fond of Oliver, being that he is a baby and all. Everywhere I went I heard "I hold baby Auber... I hold baby Auber". It was adorable. Oliver also got to meet all five of his great grand parents and get photos with them. I'm already looking forward to my next trip home.

MCW Graduation

The Wheatley family

Olie and daddy are so cute together. Some day it will be Oliver dangling his tassel over Matt.

Matt shaking hands with other members of the "Christopher Columbus Enthusiasts Club".

Happy Mother's Day!

For Mother's Day/Thanks for putting me through school/Anniversary present, Matt gave me a very beautiful necklace. I love it! The best part is that it is substantial enough to withstand Oliver's vice grip. I have the best husband in the whole world.

Getting so big!

I can't believe how big Oliver is getting! Just about every day I put another outfit in storage never to be worn again. This last week he has started laughing and giggling when you make a funny face at him. Oliver also loves it when Matt rubs his scruff against his hands and feet or nibbles at his neck. They are so cute together.
If you are wondering where all my hair went, I decided to follow Billie's lead and donate it to locks of love. At least I got a free hair cut out of the deal. Thank you Vici Capilli at Brookfield Square!

Alpha Omega Alpha

I know you would rather see a picture of Oliver but I thought I would throw this one in anyway. Matt and I had a great time at the AOA dinner and we are looking forward to graduation and all the festivities that go along with it. It will be nice to see Matt recognized for all his hard work. I got him a super awesome graduation present that I can't wait to give him (Matt and I are the worst at keeping presents from each other but this one is too good to spoil). Plus... shopping with Tina, Amy, and Billie! Weeee!
