Sure to Make You Smile . . .

 

She loves dancing. . . only her daddy's voice can trump music.

Sweet Moments

 Starting with the MOST present- I just took this picture.  I guess it was such an sweet moment for me I had to grab the camera and post it.  Annamarie thinking she's a big girl playing trains with her brothers. We think she is growing up so fast  and that she is huge but then this picture just makes me laugh and realize how SMALL she actually is.   so small.

Such a happy girl

One morning I was getting the boys dressed and the moment I took off their shirts they paused, looked at each other and for a brief moment life stood still and I thought "uh oh" cause I knew something was going to happen . . . but I never imagined this!  They started saying to one another "CHEST BUMP" and laughing hysterically while bumping chests.  Not kidding, for about 10 minutes.  They were giggling uncontrollably.  Was one of the funniest sights!  Two shirtless boys having an absolute ball- but who taught them chest bumps?  My mom tried to blame "The Irish" but when I asked them, they immediately responded "Popi!" . . . classic.

 

Annamarie was amazed by the snow

She is standing and just a little mover and shaker (literally- she LOVES dancing).  But here is where I found her a few days ago:

 

Obviously we feel the same about it.

But here is my proud moment of the last couple weeks. . . not just now able to wear a bow but feeding herself.  It's the simple things . . .

Aunt Rhonda and Uncle Ben came to visit.  The kids were DELIGHTED to say the least.  From the Zoo to Big Al's and Bowling- we had a BLAST.

 

Big Al's wore out both Ben and Anna.

She could very well have my eyes but I think Anna resembles Travis quite a bit- and even more so when I see her with Aunt Rhonda!

Our sweet cousin Holden turned 4 and what a bash!  Pinata, Penguins, Dogs and more.  Very fun.  

We love you Holden!!!

ADORABLE cupcakes by Gigi.  We drove her and my dad up there.  Weeks later the boys were still saying "Mama bumps!  Slow!  Penguins fall over!"

First time Anna is held by a cousin.  Nice work Camden!

Tyler SO BADLY wanted a peice of it.  It was a T-Rex after all.  such a hit!

Quote of the Day

Tyler:  "Mama, mama!!" (from the backseat of the car)
Me: "Yes Tyler"
Tyler:  "Mama is very very pretty"  (they always say TWO "verys" about everything)
Me:  "Thank you so much.  That is so sweet!"  

a couple minutes later we are talking about seeing Gigi . . .

Me:  "Is Gigi very very pretty too?"
Tyler:  "No. . . Gigi is . . . beautiful."
