Arboretum pictures

Here are some of the pictures mom and I took at the Arboretum. Levi was a trooper. It was pretty hot out and he wasn't the happiest. The second picture was taken when I had Anthony on the cell phone. Daddy can always get Levi to smile :)

We had a good time looking at all of the pretty flowers!

Wagon

Levi is enjoying his new wagon!

New PJ's

Grandma bought Levi some much needed new bigger PJ's!! They were so cute that we decided to go a little picture crazy!

the past few days....

It's Friday already, the week is flying by! Anthony left yesterday with his buddy Scott for their 10 hr trip to Pennsylvania for our freind's wedding. Levi misses his daddy already! Mom, me and Levi have been having a good time though. On Wed. we did some early morning shopping and then hung out at the house the rest of the day. Mom continues to work her butt off getting my house cleaned for me! Yesterday we walked downtown Midway around the shops and Levi made a new freind at the Amish store! We also walked around the campus of Midway's college. We found a creek and let Levi stick his toes in it!

Then last night we went to Lexington and we took Mom to the Arboretum. The flowers were more beautiful than the last time I was there. Levi had his own little picnic under the shade trees because he couldnt last until we got home to eat! I'll post pictures of this later on....

This morning we got out Levi's pool and let him get in for a little while. I think he liked it, although one time he reached out for his toys and he toppled over which scared him! Pictures coming soon....

Levi laughing

This video is from a few weeks ago. It's a little windy, but you can hear Levi laughing at Alex. Alex is just one of the boys that comes over to play with Levi...he loves them all!

Grandma Gheen is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, my mom has been here a little over a day now and she has already taken tylenol for her sore back caused by Levi's hugeness!! It's so wonderful having her here and Levi is loving the attention!
On Sunday night, mom watched Levi so Anthony and I could go out!! We had a blast! We saw Anthony's best freind Jeff while he was driving his cruiser at work (we drove Anthony's cruiser as well) and talked with him for a while. We also passed the Woods family, our freinds from church while driving in Anthony's cruiser. That was funny....we passed them and I saw it was them and waved and they were probably like.....why is a passenger in a cop car waving at us?! Then they realized it was just us...it was funny...guess you had to be there!
Then we ate at the Outback and MAN was is GOOD! Then we ran some errands at WalMart and acted like two little kids running around the store! It was wierd not having Levi with us....we felt like we were in college again. But it was so great to come home to our little boy and see him smile at us and get real excited when we walked in! Thanks mom for our free night out!
Then yesterday we cleaned some of the house and then did some shopping! We agreed that it's more fun to shop for Christmas in the summer time. The clothes are cuter and unlike at Christmas time when we are fatter and paler, new summer clothes are just a nice thing to get. So I picked out a dress for me and we got Anthony some khacki shorts. At first I said to wait till Christmas till we got them, but that's dumb to wait while we could wear them now. So thanks mom for part of our Christmas already! We also agreed that it stinks that Levi's birthday is in the winter close to Christmas. When will the boy ever get any fun summer stuff?! So mom brought Levi his first birthday present to him when she got here on Sunday!! A new red wagon!! It's SO COOL! We've already been taking him around the neighborhood in it and we will defintily be using it a lot!! It just makes sense to have it now and to be able to use it instead of waiting till his birthday and then not being able to until spring!
It's now Tuesday and we are making plans already for today! As you can see Levi discovered he has a freind in the mirror:)

Fun Weekend!

We had a great weekend! All 3 of us went out to Bob Evans on Saturday and it was great! Thanks Dad Delimpo for the treat:) Levi did really well as long as I had snacks and his juice in front of him! Then on Sunday our freinds, Kenny and Paula, from church invited us over to their house for dinner! They are pregnant and are having a baby at the end of November so their baby and Levi will be just about 1 yr. exactly apart. What a treat for me not to cook dinner 2 nights in a row!!!

Kenny and Paula with Levi

Now its back to Anthony's work week. We're excited that he has the 4th off this year...the first time he hasn't had to work since we've been married. Hopefully the weather will be nice so we can possibly go to one of the nearby towns celebrations. Levi and I are counting the days till my mom comes down. She's coming on Sunday and staying a week with us! I say Levi and I because Anthony will be gone for half of the time. He is a groomsmen in one of his best buddies from college's wedding. The wedding is in Pennsylvania, so he's got some traveling to do! It'll be the longest he's been away from Levi ever, so I'm sure he's gonna miss his buddy!!

Our cat, Joey bit Levi on the arm! Dumb Cat!

Time is flying by for us. I can't believe it is July! Levi will be 7 months old on the 4th. He's almost crawling now and he is much more interactive with people. The neighbor boys come over and play with him and he laughs his head off at them. I'll try and put up a video of them playing together here in the next few days or so. Levi loves animals too....he especially loved Kenny and Paula's dogs! They make him laugh and when Levi laughs, my heart smiles.

Anthony has been doing lots of yard work outside and our flowers are looking really pretty. Recently our front yard has been overtaken with moles. So we bought the mole killer pellets and put those in there, only to read after the fact that they can be deadly harmful to other animals. So we haven't seen our cat for a day now so I'm starting to wonder....did we kill out cat?!?!?!

I will try and do a better job with updating my blog in the month of July. I emphasize the word TRY!
