Canada Trip

We had a great time in Canada (Blue Mountain).  It was a bit chilly, but sunny.   At the resort, was a pool and a sandbox for the kids.  Waylen loves trucks and things that "go" so I thought he would have a blast in the sandbox (and what kid doesnt like sandboxes?).  Well, Waylen didn't like the feeling on his feet, he would cry when we set him down to play, but he really enjoyed putting the sand in the tractor and flinging it on his mommy!!  

I Scream for Ice Cream

Mmmmm.....ice cream!!  

Here's Waylen taking after his Daddy's sweet tooth :)  

Actually I must admit, now that I have entered my 3rd trimester I have been craving sweets....mostly ice cream, but almost anything chocolate sounds good.  Seems rational since I am having a girl, right?!?!

Anyway, these photos were taken at an ice cream shop near our home.  In front of the shop is this cow sculpture we find amusing.  There's Waylen below riding on the cow (dont worry we are not worshipping graven images)  as we wait for them to finish making our wonderful treat - Reeces peanut butter cup flurry!!!  What a delightful taste on the buds (do I sound like Carl or what?????)

Every ice cream shop we go to, which luckily hasn't been too many so far (although ask me at the end of the summer and you may get a different answer) gives you WAY to much ice cream for one person to finish.  We split a small between the three of us and there is still plenty to go around.  If you can see in the photo to the left, the ice cream is overflowing.  Now I'm not complaining, the more the merry, and if I only need to order one small cup to feed three mouths, then every bite is worth the couple dollars lost :)

mmmm, garlic

so waylen has a double ear infection.

and the doctor gave us GARLIC drops to put in his ears, three times a day.

the only problem with this is that it makes waylen smell like crazy bread. i told colleen today that i really want to sprinkle some parmesan cheese on him and eat him like a breadstick. the garlic drops are semi-intoxicating. and another benefit to them is that they keep the all the vampires away from his crib at night when he sleeps. so thats good.

We're having a...

And they thought it couldn't be done.
(Happy Mothers Day to both our moms.)

I Made This.

(WARNING: the following entry is for pizza lovers only)

i'm really getting into chicago style deep dish pizza. what am i saying, i've always been into it. but lately, i've entered into an extreme season of love. borderline obsession. we took a weekend trip to chicago a few weeks ago to get some. being from detroit, you gotta love and represent the pizza papalis!!! (what i consider the PERFECTION of pizza) then i had an insane idea. i'm gonna make this kind of pizza. i admit it's an intimidating thought to most ordinary men. so i studied and RESEARCHED for two weeks on how to make this pie. i even had to buy the special pan (to create the deepness.) i bought only the freshest of ingredients. i even split it half and half (my side & colleen's side) so she could have her evil mushrooms. this was an investment. what up now 'papa john?' i learned from the masters. giordano. gino. mr. malnati. mr. papalis. davis.

colleen was so impressed by my creation. i was most proud of the crust, as you can clearly see. freaking love the deep dish! 

Best Mom Award goes to....

carl here. i just wanted to take some time out to say what a good mom colleen is.

its so neat to see her interacting and taking care of waylen. he sure loves his mommy! its obvious whenever she walks in the door and he just lights up! colleen instantly became a great mom, from the very first day waylen arrived. she makes sure he is always eating healthy foods. she reads him tons of books (i think we have the record for most baby books checked out at the library. and late fines too.) she dresses him in cool and stylish clothes (he looks like a miniature version of me.) i could go on. she just plain rocks as a mom, and i am so proud of her!!!!!
