spring fever + parker's got talent

it was a gorgeous day here in the pnw.  the kind where you look out the window & say "...ooooh, the sun is out & i'm gonna rock some flip flops."  and then you put them on, go outside, & your toes want to fall off.  because it's barely forty degrees out & you were totally deceived by that strange bright thing in the sky since it rarely comes out around here this time of year.

but when it does, you gotta take advantage... even if it means frozen toes.

i headed outside in search of something blooming & pretty to take pictures of.  the closest thing i found was some fake flowers inside my house.  but aren't they pretty?  i posted bigger, prettier shots of these happy flowers on my photo blog.  and yes, they are happy.  i know this because i can't look at them without feeling good about life.  it's true.

anywho, parker has been doing some pretty hilarious things lately.  he's totally discovered his tongue & some of its talents.  i mean, he's always blown raspberries but now he's taking it up a notch.  we're talking noises that would make a whoopee cushion blush. loud, juicy, wet ones.  oh yeah, you know the ones.

this kid cracks me up.  every day he is funnier than the last & i can't wait to see what he does tomorrow.  i am so lucky to get to be his mama.


also? i'm so lucky to get your votes. i really do love them.
