He makes me a better person & I love him!

Last night Kaiden had me cracking up through dinner b/c we were practicing different facial expressions.

He's got happy and scary down. We are still working on sad face, but he had me in stitches trying!

Then we went outside and enjoyed the beautiful summer heat.

He got a lot of use out of his beloved swing set.

We also played catch, hide and seek and put on a dance show for Kevin with our newly learned animal dance moves.

Thank you, Yo Gabba Gabba.

During our show, we got caught doing the Bunny Rabbit by our neighbor. lol.

Speaking of our neighbor, lets just say...she's not my bff. ;-) However, Kaiden loves her. When he tries to convince me to go to the fence to talk to her, I try to convince him to play with me instead (I know, I know..I'm horrible). But last night, he was not having it!

"Mama, come on!!!!" he loudly screamed until she said "I think he wants you to come to the fence with him."

Uhhh, ya think?

So like a good mama, I obliged.

And we actually had a good conversation about flowers and ummm...cancer. But, ya know how neighbors go. lol.

We ended the conversation with her giving me a beautiful bouquet of flowers from her garden. Wow! I couldn't stop staring at them last night. I even told Kevin I'm officially lifting my flower ban and now want him to give me flowers on a regular basis. ha!

They have to be wild flowers, like these, of course! How beautiful are these??

And, speaking of flowers. When I was watering mine last night I noticed my first bud in the garden that my neighbor gave me seeds for in the Spring. This morning I went to check and my first flower bloomed. Delicious!!

The moral of this story....Love thy neighbor.

Even if it's your 2 year old that convinces you to! =)
