Van: Hey mama...when can we go bungee jumping?
Me: Well...you have to be 18 to go...
Van: 8!!! Awesome...we get to go when I'm 8!?!?!?!

(Someone, somewhere has a picture of me bungee jumping in Las Vegas...but I couldn't find it to show him...I'm usually not really the risk taker of the family ;) )

Happy Saint Paddy's Day!

Van's been really enjoying this show...and I think it lead to this conversation...

 

Van: This kitty, it got bit by a rattlesnake. The neurotoxins are getting to it's brain so we gotta give it a shot.

Me: That's so sad...poor kitty. Good thing he has a knowledgeable vet like you!
Van: It's dead...

Skateboarding...watching...sliding on tummy...

Me: I guess you finally wore him out buddy!
B: Thank gawd! He didn't let me sleep for five days!!!

Van: Mama! I picked some flowers for you!!!
Mama: Aw buddy they are beautiful! Thank you! Let me take them inside to put them in some water.
Van: No, I think I better keep them so just in case you get mad at me later.

County Fair

I can't wait until Van is 5 and he can be in 4-H! We might not be able to raise animals right now but I think his bug collections would impress ;)  They had great photographs and leather-work by the kids...so impressive.  I love goats-cute and silly. This cow was just so gentle looking with her long eyelashes.

Dang!

Would sure love to see this (Friday @ Red Rocks) but will dream about it in the meantime :)
