Happy Fathers Day

I believe that my son was blessed to have the best father in the whole world. And I also believe that he will grow up to be a good man who will in turn become the second best father in the whole world. What a lucky little guy to know such a good fatherly influence.

Florida Trip

We are currently in Ft. Myers, FL visiting my mom. We have had a lot of fun so far, the first day we went kayaking down the Estero river. That was really neat, but we used a non-waterproof sunscreen, so... we are all fried. Nick's chest is so splotchy that he looks like he picked up some flesh-eating disease. Yesterday, we went down to Ft. Myers beach to take some pictures and have dinner. We got some pretty cute ones of Aidan although he is really becoming a beast to photograph. He won't sit still or smile for anything. I miss those big toothless grins he used to have.

But, this picture makes up for it. His personality really comes through in this picture. I love my kiddo.

Is This MY Kid?

I walked out of the room for two minutes and came back to this! What is it they say about kids imitating adults. Should I laugh or be disturbed. LOL. What a crazy kid. You would never know that he has two incredibly nerdy parents.

Sips N Strokes

I went to Sips N Strokes tonight, and it is seriously one of the most fun things I have ever done in my life. It is a class, everyone painting the same painting, and you come home with a masterpiece. I am so in love!

Here is my angel that I painted, she is going to watch over my guest bathroom downstairs. :) I actually plan to go back next week, and then again next month probably. This is by far my new favorite hobby.

Happy Mothers Day


100_3061, originally uploaded by zarkfamily.

We had a nice day today. Woke up early and went to church and Aidan got to sit in big church with us because we had his baby dedication. It was really beautiful and a pleasant family moment. Nick's dad took pictures of that, so I will post them when I get them. But, then afterward we had lunch with Nick's family and went home for a nice long nap.

I woke up to a sweet homemade card made by Nick and Aidan and a nice clean kitchen. Then Nick made me cupcakes which Aidan promptly devoured.

We also called Grammy (left a message) and Nanny to tell them Happy Mothers Day, and we got to skype with Nanny and show her how well Aidan is walking now. He also showed them his precious teeth with his funny smile and he said "car" for the a few times as well.

Hope everyone had a nice day, back to the grind tomorrow!

Aidan's First Haircut


100_3034, originally uploaded by zarkfamily.

My sweet boy got his first haircut today. And he looks so handsome now. He was okay with the whole process except whenever she got near his ears. And, I actually didn't cry. I didn't even feel like I wanted to cry, I was just excited and took lots of pictures.

Aidan Needs A Haircut


100_3009, originally uploaded by zarkfamily.

I was hoping that maybe my little boy would have cute blond curls that wouldn't require a haircut until he was like two or so, but alas... it has turned into a messy little mullet. So, our little boy will be getting his first hair cut this week, just in time for him to be introduced to our church. Look at that crazy mop of hair... awww, I am not sure I am ready for this.

Birthday Party


100_2968, originally uploaded by zarkfamily.

We went to All Fired Up and painted for my birthday tonight. Then after we went to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. It was lots of fun, I painted a utensil holder to go with my teal/brown serving set that I am working on. And Nick painted the cutest little turtle to give to Aidan. That little boy will have so many painted ceramics by the time he grows up.

Nick made me some OMG yummy strawberry cupcakes for my birthday and they are already gone. People loved them. He has been such a wonderful husband today, he has taken care of everything and in such good spirits. He and Aidan are the best birthday presents I can get, for sure!
