The World's Best Athlete Today

Can I throw out a question. Who is CURRENTLY the world's best athlete? 5 or so years ago the answer for me would have been Lance Armstrong hands down, but I think there could be several contenders today. What's your opinion? I'll share mine later...I need a bit longer to decide.

The World's Best Article of Clothing

I'm the best article of clothing ever invented...
You see me everywhere in various colors, though there's one I prefer
I'm great with the right ensemble for accompanying you to a nice restaurant
Or mucking around in the yard or going camping
I seem to be comfortable whether it's hot or cold,
outside or inside just lounging around after a long day's work
I always look great whether freshly washed or two days old from the bottom of the suitcase
And I pride myself on lasting nearly forever if you buy me in my favorite brand.
What am I?

Happy Birthday to You!!!

We had a bug hunt for the kids. Luckily they didn't find any real ones : )
Grandpa helped Nicholas blow out the candles on his cupcake cake. He dug right in afterwards.
We got Nicholas a push car for his present. He and Mike zipped around the house chasing Cheerio. It was so funny to watch, and Nicholas laughed like crazy.
Even Cheerio got into the celebratory mood and allowed Nicholas to put a party hat on his head. These are those moments in life that just make you smile.

It's A Bug's Life

We celebrated Nicholas' 2nd birthday this weekend, and we had lots of "bugs" to eat. I made ants on a log, worms and dirt, and creepy crawly hot dogs.
Here's Nicholas' caterpillar cake. It took me forever to make it, but it was a hit. I'll never go into cake decorating as a profession : )
The birthday boy himself!

My mom hung butterflies up and got bug balloons for a festive look.

Chillin' in Seattle

I've really tried hard to teach my son the most important things in life. Him digging for the last remaining remnants of the milkshake after sucking down the easy stuff.
There's at least one person in the world who thinks Dadda's gear is cool! He stole my dork hat and sunglasses and did some of his characteristic thumb in mouth posing for us. Then he must not have gotten quite all the attention he had hoped for, so he took the sunglasses and poked a lady in the butt. A guy accompanying her says he wishes he could do that. She didn't seem to mind.
Which one makes the best fire fighter?
Lettin' loose on the play stage at the Children's museum!

Chillin' in Seattle part 2

Beautiful view of the sunset from the restaurant.

That's no 'coon!

That's no 'coon! What is that....hmmm...that's Cheerio - shame! He tried to steal the bait and got caught red-handed.
