The Start of Summer Fun

This week has been busy, but very fun! Since it is thunderstorming right now, I am focusing on the happy sunny parts of the week :)Havin tons of fun at Pleasant Kingdom Playground

Thats all for now, have to go make dinner: GLUTEN FREE PIZZA! If it turns out well, I'll post about it. If not... I'll still post about it :)

Duggars, Playoffs, and Buddies

We're going to see the Duggars! Monday, June 1st Mum, Meghan, & I will be taking a small road trip out to Cranton, Ohio to see the Duggars talk/sing in a church. I am so stinking excited! We will be staying with one of Mum's old friends from grade school, who is graciously extending hospitality to us while we are there.

We watch the Duggars every time they have a new episode and love them! We are so like-minded with them and love seeing them and what they do... now we get to actually listen to them and possibly get them to sign our copy of their book, "20 and counting"

In other news, the Pittsburgh Penguins just sent the Carolina Hurricanes home for the season and are diving into the official Stanley Cup Playoffs. We will either play Detroit Red Wings (who won last year) or the Chicago Blackhawks... my dad is high fiving Ronnie, whose smile is bigger then the stanley cup itself. Yay! I really want them to win, however this means more 'hockey nights'... oh well, Meghan and I played cards so we had fun. I won by 20 points :)

Today, after reading the Duggar book while eating lunch (multi-tasking, gotta love it!), I was struck at how every older child has one, two or even three younger 'buddies'. Granted, we don't have nearly as many children as they do, but we sort of do the buddy thing already: brownies and the blueberries. Meghan, Ronnie, and his blue bear are on the Blueberry Team, and Anna and I are on the Brownies Team; We are thinking of having a Gorecki Olympics this summer against the two teams :) I'll letcha know how that goes :)

Well, it's off to bed cause Ty is coming tomorrow morning and we need to wake up bright and early. Goodnight readers!

Today was.....a "Ty" day!!!!

I promise, I won't post quite so many pictures every time I have Ty! But...today was a "typical Ty day" at our house. Whenever we watch him...we are all so enthralled with him, that we just make a huge fuss over him. We say that in our house, Ty is a celebrity! For those of you who might not know...Ty is my sweet little nephew...6 1/2 months old. I thought it would be fun to post about Ty's day today! (especially for my Mom who is away in Alabama (where it is WARM) helping my aunt recover from surgery...and is missing everyone!)Look at these eyes....he is a heartbreaker, isn't he?!
As we were sitting at the table eating our oatmeal...I was surrounded by everyone wanting to be close to me....or is it close to Ty?!

Ty is also a huge 'Star Wars' fan...he comes by it honestly...his cousins are into it, and he inherited it from his dad...who still has all of his origional Star Wars figures and sets from when he was little!

This little boy gets tons of "tummy time" here....look at this smile!

When he is having tummy time or just playing on the floor...there are at least 2 or more others with him, encouraging his crawling skills, and entertaining him!

This is Sara and Ty making a video on her laptop! Scroll down to the end if you would like to watch the video. I am on the other side of the door playing "peek-a-boo" and making him laugh!

I love this one! Anna has helped all day with Ty! She helped with changing his diapers and here she is snapping him back up! He loves watching her!

Ty discovered 'Lightening McQueen' today! He talks...

This is the smile I got when I sneaked up on him to get him up from his nap! How sweet is that?!

Oh, my....either I am terribly out of practice with this or he is a messy eater! Peas go in.....

And....peas come out! He actually DID eat the whole jar...I just kept scooping them back in again!

Here he is with his favorite Uncle Ron! Every time he hears Ron's voice, he doesn't take his eyes off of him...it is so funny! I told them to put their bald heads together for a picture!

Now, Daddy ( my brother-in-law Todd) came to take him home. It was funny...he was playing with Ron on the floor, but as soon as he saw Dad...he got a 'boo boo' lip and wanted his Daddy! It was so cute!

Here he is ready to go home in what we call his "escape pod"!

~And....we get to have him again tomorrow! ( I hope she sends bananas instead of peas!) What a joy it is for all of us to get to have him all to ourselves a couple times a week! We enjoy him so much! I realize that there are no pictures of Meghan with Ty...but she took a lot of them, and she hates to get her picture taken! I'll get some of her with him tomorrow! Scroll down a little bit for the video of Ty and Sara. Now it is time to light a fire and relax with my little ones while the girls get ready for a busy day tomorrow! ~Sue~

Here is the video: hope you all like it!
