Pics for Memorial Day Post!!

I rode in the very back and read Anton the same story over and over and over... I think I read it at least 20 times, I have it memorized now :) But that was the only thing that would keep him from screaming the entire car ride so Janja kept handing me the book every time he started crying it was pretty cute :)
This Door with Anton's name on it is a Bathroom :) How cute!!


Part of Pero's routine to get people to come watch the show is to ride his indian bike and a little tiny motorcycle on these roller balls, he swerves, puts on a blind fold and does this thing with no hands or feet!! It was pretty amazing to watch!!

Memorial Day Weekend!

For Memorial Day weekend we went to Ivan's Aunt's house up near Hanover, Germany. We had lots of fun and Anton did pretty well! We went and watched Ivan's uncle perform at the fair in East Germany. It was waaayy scary but he did it with his eyes closed LITERALLY!!! here are a few pics! We of course ate Great food since his aunt did all the cooking, and had a great time with his cousins watching Germany win the euro vision... we couldn't get Lena's song out of our heads for the whole weekend :( All in all it was a great trip... needless to say Jajna loves, adores, and spoils Anton she call him her sunshine... we love visisting them and can't wait until we get to go back and actually see the town they live in!!!

Happy First Fathers Day!!

In honor of my Father and Anton's Daddy, I just wanted to say Happy Fathers Day!! Ivan is such a wonderful and loving father. Showering Anton with kisses, attention, praise and teaching him how to pet the cats nicely, how to yell during a soccer game, and mostly how to be a good person! I feel so lucky that my partner is willing to help with Anton any time of day no matter how his day was!! Thanks Babe, I love you and want you to know that you are truly a great dad!! Here are some pics of him and Anton that I love!! They show you just how much Anton admires his daddy and how they are truly are two peas in a pod :)

Fun Pics!

So my sister's friend totally gave me the greatest idea to make some of our pics B&W and antique them!! So here are a few that I've edited and tweaked!! I love this... oh no... poor Ivan I've been doing this for waaayyy over an hour now :)

Hanging around Town

I have found out that the more I get the baby out of the house the happier he seems... that is as long as getting him out means going to the park and not in the car! So we have a park within walking distance and we hit it up about three times a week that is when it's not RAINING! Anton loves it!! He loves to swing, and slide and just move around in general! I catch him staring at the trees and leaves, trying to eat flowers and just enjoying the sun (with proper sun block of course) and world around him!! I think the only thing he loves more is going to the park with his DADDY! Maybe because mom is not such a daredevil like dad is or maybe because they are two peas in a pod? I didn't want to go back to the house one evening so I made Anton and Ivan walk around town so I could take pictures of them in front of Orsfeld things!! We all had a good time ( you wouldn't have thought that from Anton's face) and it was nice to spend some time together as a family!!

More Utah Pics!!

UTAH!

After Spokane we went and stayed with Bridge for two weeks and had a BLAST!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my little Gretal. It was so great to see those two interact, and by interact I mean to see Anton beat on poor Gretal. She is such a good little girl who can sit and play for hours! We did and saw a lot while we were there I don't think we ever had time to even miss Ivan the Harris' kept us busy! We went to the bean museum where they have all sorts of taxidermy animals from the zoo and forest... it was a don't touch museum but Gretal and Anton couldn't help themselves!! We ate at A LOT of good and yummy places! We went to the Zoo the Aquarium it was soo much fun! I see why people like to live in big cities you have everything at your fingertips!! I did A LOT of shopping and I think spent waaayyyy more than I should have but what are you going to do?!? I really enjoyed getting to see my sister in her element of being a mom and a wife she makes it look easy, she's a great cook and baker... she made us some strawberry rhubarb pie that was DELICIOUS Anton had a first here too... he went swimming for the very first time and LOVED it! We almost died when I took him down the slide and couldn't get my footing but we made it... he went under the water and came back up we looked at him thinking he was going to cry... but nothing just looked at us like what it was like going home for me!! Unfortunately Anton didn't realize that going to visit The Harris' would mean having to dress up like a girl sometimes but that's what happens when your mom doesn't bring enough jammies and you pee through all of yours... he ended up wearing Gretal's pink jammies to bed one night and we all thought he looked too stinking cute in PINK!!! I can't wait to go back, hopefully with Ivan next time!
