There Goes My Baby

Yo Mom! Why are you crying?

Today is a glorious day!

It's my Half Birthday!

Oh brother!

All this sobbing stuff is so embarrassing.

Gaa Gaa Goo Goo (humoring the mom)

Oh, Jeez!  Don't get yourself all worked up about it,

just sit back and relax.

Because you see, Mom, I will always be your baby.

We have had the privilege of hosting visitors this past month. In the middle of March, my sister,Cat, came from the Chicago area to spend her Spring Break with us. I loved all the help she was able to gladly offer such as the ability to sleep in, shower, and do some home decorating in peace. (It's the little things that mean so much.)

 Last week, my two sisters, Pia and Laura, who reside in Vail had the chance to come and spend some time with us during Ava's Spring Break. The girls had so much fun. One of the things we got to do was to stay overnight at a hotel and play in their waterpark but I do believe this was a highlight as well :                        

With a move like that right above..I have a sneaky suspicion they have been doing this at home too...

Stand By Me

                          Uh huh, yep that's little o' me standing like a big boy.

                        I am still a little shakey so you better stay close by...

                                     as I'm liable to fall...ahem..right, Daddy?

Sweet Child o' Mine

                                                                An enigma, this one is.

                                             Just when you think you've got her all figured out,

                                                                    she does a 360.

                                  One thing for sure, she is the best little sister one could ever have.

                            The kind that volunteers to be the prince, just so you can be the princess.

                                                                   She's a sweetie

                                                                this child of mine.

                               Ava has got to be the best toy ever "made" for Gus, no doubt his favorite!

                                "You laugh and laughing, fall apart. Laugh and laughing, fall apart."

Now that Gus has lost his hair, he is looking more and more like his sister, Ava. Good thing Ava has her ears pierced because it could have been difficult to decipher who is who in past photos.

I can't believe that it's already been almost 3 years since this was blogged about:

This must be a 3.5 year stage because now Ruby has discovered her many hidden talents too.

Dude Looks Like A Lady

"Laugh it up, sisters. But don't you realize that in a short few years, I will be bigger and stronger than you.."

Heavy Things

    Why yes, that is Ava carrying Gus on her shoulders all by herself next to some dangerous steps....why do you ask?

Rumpshaker

This girl cracks me up! Lately she has been wanting to be the center of attention and always wants to put on some sort of show for me. Perhaps she is suffering a little bit from middle child syndrome? In any rate, I would love to keep her at this age forever, she is just so scrumptious!

Ill Communication

This little story first appeared on facebook on Valentine's Day and is what actually got me thinking about going back to blogging to spare my facebook friends of my silly shenanigans...

Psst...lean in a little closer, I have something to ask you.

Will you please, please be my Valentine?

No?? You just stomped my heart into two.

Then I shall kick you in the teeth. Did I ever tell you that your breath smells like cat food?

What? What's that you say? You WILL be my Valentine!

Oops, my bad. *insert foot into mouth*

You have made me one happy guy!!

Howz about we kiss and make up?
