Oh Snap

I don't know what we did for entertainment before Baylor was born... he has me laughing ALL the time. Thank goodness for the little things in life.

Here are a few things that made me smile this week...

His tower at Red Lobster. He was SO proud of himself :)

He has a lobster and crab in one of his books. He loves to mimic their snaps with his fingers and say "snap, snap, snap." Since I ordered crab, we decided to let him try out the real thing. He thought is was pretty funny.

And then there's his slippers. He rocks these whenever his jammies aren't footies. They are almost as WiLd as he is.

And his latest...

He wants his animals in "seat belts"

YES, they have to be buckled up before he is ready to go. He definitely knows what he wants and he will tell you about it until it gets done.

"Seat belts, seat belts, watch the mouse, watch the mouse"

It progressively gets louder as he makes us aware of his desires :)

He is "watching the mouse" in this picture- hence the mesmerized, out in space look.

HE'S OBSESSED. A Mickey Mouse junkie. We're all about the mouse at the Olsen house.

These are the moments I live for.

Oh Christmas Tree...

We have had so much fun decorating for Christmas this year! Baylor is my official sidekick and we've had some good times already this holiday season. He was absolutely terrified of this Winnie the Pooh and Tigger sleigh last year. It sings Jingle Bells and they dance around which he was not a fan of last year. This year it plays quite continuously and he dances along... until he is distracted by something else :)

He is so intrigued by all of the ornaments. Of course, he loved the little red balls that go on his tree. It's a BALL, of course he's going to love it.

We have a Winnie the Pooh tree that I had growing up, our family tree which I have yet to take a picture of, and B's little tree. It already has too many ornaments so I couldn't put them all on. My Grandma spoils us with Hallmark ornaments. Next year, we need to get him a bigger tree!

He dug into this year's bag to find out what Great Grandma Zoma sent him :)

This is his little Jazz ornament from last year. He desperately wants to be able to put the ball through the basket... I'm surprised it's not broken yet.

But that must have inspired this because he took all the little red balls OFF his tree and they became basketballs :)

Luckily I snuck them back on his tree the next day and he has left them alone

And SANTA, we haven't made it to the mall yet, but if you are reading our blog you can see that Baylor has mastered the hoop he got last year. We're looking for more of a challenge. Slam dunking at waist high just isn't going to do it anymore. Sincerely, B and his mom

What a FUN time of year!!!

Another one bites the dust

... but in a good way of course :)

One of my besties got married!!! My good friend Shannon tied the knot a few weeks ago. Beforehand we had our traditional "roomy" sleepover up in Park City. We always go eat at Baja Cantina and then have a sleepover. We stay up ridiculously late and laugh till we cry. Sadly, Mekensy couldn't come because she was at home with her adorable little Stella but we plan to "reenact" it when she doesn't have a newborn at home :)

If you have never eaten here- you NEED to! It is De-LISH.

Soon after, the big day arrived and we all watched Shannon become Mrs. Ormond. Her hubby is Baylor's pediatrician and we think he's fabulous. I waited to switch over to him until they were engaged :) I wanted to make sure it was official before I started taking B to him.

I LOVE these girls!!!

And of course, I LOVE this guy.

YAY for Shanscape getting hitched!
