This might officially be cheating since these photos were taken last night but they were too precious to me not to count in my year so as far as I am concerned this is today's photo and that's that.

This is David and Daddy playing with stomp rockets in the backyard. David loves these so much that I think you can see the joy in his face. Last night, he decided to experiment with the different ways he could get the rocket to fly.



He tried using his elbow, jumping with both feet, sitting on it, jumping backwards and many other crazy styles.



And the whole time he laughed and laughed and just couldn't get enough.



Watching that kind of joy on a kid's face is electric and contagious. It's one of the joys of being a parent and getting to experience the world through your little one's eyes. He kept making his hands into little firstballs so he could get more strength.



And of course here's a tulip shot I took before I had to part with the beautiful, reddish orange ones we had this week.



My Big Picture Scrapbooking class started today and I couldn't be more excited. You can still register for a little while and if you're on the fence, go for it! I promise you won't regret it :)

Happy Thursday!
