Sweet!!!!

We are all very excited that the Ranger that we have been waiting for has finally arrived! In the picture it isn't fully assembled yet. It will be a fun family thing that we can all do (well Rose E when she gets a little older). They plan to get a back seat, windshield, and a roll cage too. Walter has been pumped, every time we would go to the Polaris shop he would say, I don't want to wait lets just take this one home (the ones at the shop). He is looking forward to seeing where the old railroad tracks where, train bridges, mining buildings, etc. Plus we have such beautiful territory to explore around here!

This other picture is of some train cookies that Walter and I made the other day (it was a late night snack so he is wearing his p.j's). It was funny because for his Birthday 5 months ago Jeff's mom made train cookies and just out of the blue he said "mama I want those train cookies again." He was thrilled to discover that I also had train cookie cutters and a railroad crossing one too. Speaking of food, yesterday he made me laugh, he was sitting in his booster chair banging his knee on the tray and I said "Walter what are you doing? He said making the sky move" I said what sky? He said the milk in my cup is the sky. Imagination plus this boy has! He has been configuring his food in different ways and saying "Mama what letter is this?" Also, as long as we are on the topic of food we had some very exciting news from the doctor! Rose E is allergy free from wheat and milk! Yahoo, that sure does open a lot of doors (which reminds me she has started to sign open for doors and her shades) to what she can eat(: I am positive that she was allergic to milk and has overcome it. How I know is that wherever the product with milk in it would just even hit her face she would break-out in welts. As for the other things it seemed as though her skin would be clear and then she would eat something and break-out with eczema (Walter had eczema too as a baby but not nearly as much). She hadn't broken out in a few months so I thought it was related to her diet, but who knows. Anyway, she is loving being able to eat a greater variety and it is much easier on me too. She is now drinking whole milk out of a cup (I can't believe my baby is no longer a baby). She is growing-up way too fast! Today I was astonished as we read a book and I would say where is something and she knew where everything was! She has been keeping herself busy the past couple of days with stacking cups, she loves them and a shape sorter ball (she can now push the shapes through). Oh and she has been digging the "oopsie" game (I only had to say it once when she dropped a toy). All the way through the grocery store today she would turn around, dig through the cart, find some food and send it sailing to the ground laughing and saying "oopsie." Mama wasn't as amuzed!
Last but not least. I added some pictures of our lunch today at the Loading Zone restaraunt. Sarah came into town with her daughter and Annie's (Sarah and Annie are Jeff's Grandpa's brother's daughters) little boy was there too. The little girl, Koral, is only three and a half weeks younger than Rose E and the little boy, Trey is almost 20 months. It was a fun lunch.
