Favre... go back to Louisiana, get on your tractor and mow your yard! Again!

SO... I'm pretty sick and tired of Favre and this whole "as far as now is concerned, I'm retired" BS he keeps spitting. This has gotten beyond OLD!

Part of me thinks ESPN and it's 24/7, 12 months a year coverage of the NFL needs to drum up some good stories, so ol' Brett is just a pawn in their game. Then reality strikes and I realize this guy loves the spot light and attention as much, if not more than, the likes of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, OJ Simpson and the like.

MJ decided he had to keep coming back, despite it tarnishing his legacy (luckily he had 6 titles to fall back on).

But then I Brett's 'ah shucks, I'm just a country boy' bit is part smoke and mirrors. Yes, he is a small-town guy, but after all those years with the Packers and all those post-seasons of "will he or won't" retire I am just plain sick of the story.

Brad Childress says Brett Favre "was worth a conversation," but the Minnesota Vikings coach insists the veteran quarterback remains retired -- as far as he knows.

Now the news this week is Minnesota gave Favre "a week" to decide if his surgically repaired shoulder is good enough to play another year. And news this morning that Favre's family has booked a block of rooms in Green Bay the weekend the Vikings visit the Pack on November 1. Can we say DRAMA!!?!!

Now, let's talk about Cutler and what a immature baby he is and how Bus Cook represents both Favre and Cutler... now there is a story I can get excited about!

Favre, go back to Louisiana, get on your tractor and mow your yard so I can wear my Favre jersey in public before my son is big enough to wear it. That's all I'm asking for!

Faces

I feel like the month of May just flew right along and it seemed like we photographed some great facial expressions in accident along the way. So here is a gallery of those photos, starting on May 1 and going through the end of the month, in chronological order.

Happy, tired, smiling, shocked and sleepy all are words I'd use to describe these photos... I'll let you choose your own!

One of the first smiles we caught on camera

Update from the past week

First, a blatant advertisement of Dylan's "one of a kind" Casper's Truck Equipment bib. This picture is for Grandma and Grandpa Lee

Since the 8-week doctor appointment and weigh-in last Wednesday, life continues to pick up speed around our house. Here's a quick sampling of events:

- We watched the Nuggets lose a disappointing Game 6 on Friday. Dylan slept like a champ as his parents yelled at the TV!

- Dylan made his first Boulder Farmers Market appearance with Melissa, his 1-year old buddy Miles and his mom Emily.

- Dylan also had his first official "babysitter" on Saturday night, featuring a quartet of watchers: Annie, Jack, Mary and John. Mom and Dad attended a nice fundraiser for Boulder Valley School District.

- Dylan and Melissa have done yoga and a mommy group in just the past two days!

- We worked around the house on our yard and Melissa's blooming garden.

- Dylan started doing some tummy time and really enjoys it!

- And Ryan somehow had a mid-term and finished some deals at work....

Again, probably missing some details or events here but just thinking of this list exhausted me. More pictures from the past four or five days!

Mom and Dylan on May 29th. Quite a little "chunker" this day

Look who found their thumb! (same day)

Arms up! (A couple of days later and someone is less of a chunker and has grown all over to thin out those chubby cheeks)

Based on his positioning and onesie, this may be his airplaine sleeping position

Ready for nap time with Ranger

Enjoying tummy time!

Tummy time with Ranger in sight!
