A fun weekend and a tribute to Hannah

Our weekend started off great. Jordan came over and watched Donovan on Friday night so Bradley and I could go out. We went to dinner at Quaker Steak (haha, I bet you are jealous Hannah!) and went to look for slip covers for our couch. If you haven't seen or noticed our couch in any of our pictures, this is what Donovan has done to it. He likes to bite and tear it. Such a destructive child! So if anyone knows where we can get inexpensive slip covers that he can't bite into, we would love to know (we only spent $200 on our couch, love seat, and chair combined so we don't want to spend more than that on slip covers).I finally got him to do some sign language on video. He loves to say "ball" and knows where every ball in the house is! He also knows where to find the balls on the sport mural out in the common area in our building.


Brad had a practice on Saturday morning so Donovan and I just played while we waited for him to get back.
I think he looks more like a little boy than a little baby in these pictures. He is so handsome.
When his daddy got home, they watched Playhouse Disney and snuggled.
Iowa Western had games this weekend, so we got to enjoy some soccer action. The women played on Saturday and the men played on Sunday. We sat by David and Joyce on Saturday and Michael Lively played with Donovan.

Joyce was tickling Donovan with the bug spray bottle and he seemed to enjoy it.

What is this face?
Michael Lively showed up on Sunday's game too and gave me a nice little break. I walked around with Donovan for what seemed like the entire first half and needed a break. Michael was very patient and followed Donovan wherever he led him while keeping him out of danger...and mud.


Here you go Hannah, Lenna and I still need to get a picture with both boys in their awesome UTEP t-shirts. We miss you, but we are glad you are having fun in Texas!!

What a cute, handsome little Miner! He is beginning to loose the baby look especially since he is walking and standing more often. It was good to see a picture of my friend Joyce, they still support the Reivers too! He is good with the signing and kicking of the ball! Cute boy!

There comes a time when every young boy can no longer where one-piecer outfits and I think Donovan has reached that time! He looks like a big boy in baby clothes. I'm not saying that to be rude, I'm just saying that he isn't a baby any more. I still can't believe how grown up he is and I get to see him every week! And yes, we still need to get the boys together in their Miner outfits. Maybe this week...

That face is determination! Yes, your little baby is a little boy now. So cute!

He really is starting to look like a little boy and not a baby so much any more. So about the slip covers I don't think anywhere makes them really cheap. But you can find them at Walmart and Target and I think they are cheaper there then they are at like bed bath and beyond.

I agreee he is very handsome! check overstock.com for slipcovers. They're pretty expensive anywhere, I some kind of fit awkward. Oh I also remember seeing some at family dollar, so if you have any sort of a dollar store check it out. (Not like a 1.00 store, but the one step up dollar store!!)

I envy your trip to Quaker Steaks. Did you enjoy the wings? Their BBQ chicken queso is way good too. I love the picture of Donovan! His face looks so chubby in the picture haha. He's growing up way too fast boo.
