2010 Gymnastics Fun Meet

AJ doesn't seem to mind sitting at these events.... he sure is a good little brother!

AJ and I waiting for the girls class to perform. (I LOVE his face.)

The end of the group dance.... it was so cute!

AJ versus The Pop Bottle

AJ is obsessed with bottles, specifically Diet Pepsi bottles. Yeah, I have NO idea why... but he is. He also insists on holding them in one hand! He loves to hold it and then rotate his hand back and forth sort of waving it in front of his face - and he does this with not only bottles but pretty much everything! Just one little quirk I love....

End of Year: Pre-K

The girls had their end of year party at school on Wednesday, and below are some pictures from the festivities. They have grown up so much this year and have become such wonderful little ladies. I love them! I know the girls are going to miss quite a few of their friends - which just means lots of play dates are in our future!

Sippy Cup

This video was actually taken about 5-6 weeks ago - I haven't downloaded my camera in awhile, hence the delay in getting it up. (Gus was just over 6 months old.) He was fascinated with his sisters' sippy cups, and as you can tell he is rockin' one of their old cups! :) He kept taking drinks over and over and he would make that horrible face every time!

I also love the girls conversation in the background!

Just for Laughs!

I know on some level this is probably completely wrong but it made me laugh today – so I thought I would share! Hope it makes you giggle a bit too!
This is a picture, I snapped with my phone, of Gus this morning….

Happy Friday!

Beautiful Babies

Somehow I was blessed with some of the MOST BEAUTIFUL kids in the world! :)
These are some pictures from AJ's 6 month portraits taken at The Red Studio. They are just amazing!

7 Months!

My sweet little man is 7 months old! He is such a good baby... very laid back yet at the same time fiercely independent! He is just growing up so fast. I wish he would slow down a bit. He loves to stand holding your hands and is taking steps - although they aren't always in the forward moving direction! He is my joy.

7 months old!

You can see his bottom tooth in this picture if you look closely!

He seems to be saying "Seriously Mom, you want me to lay down?"

As you can probably tell this was him arching his back into his dog, because I made him sit down from standing!

My little man! (I LOVE how his little toes are curled up.)

Yea, he's pretty used to being kissed on!

Cincinnati Monster Jam Announcement

Today was the press announcement that coming this summer there will be a new rumble in 'The Jungle'! Monster Jam is invading Paul Brown Stadium on July 10! This will be the FIRST EVER stadium show in Cincinnati! These are some pictures from the event.

Adam Anderson, Anthony Munoz, and Dennis Anderson in front of Grave Digger!

AJ checking it all out.

Most of the crew it took to pull it all off!

Hip Hop Dance Recital

The girls Hip Hop Class dance recital was this past weekend. Since it was just the two of them in the class they were the only two on stage! I was so proud of them, neither of them had the least bit of stage fright and they were ADORABLE up there. In fact, Kathryn didn't want to get off the stage! It is amazing how comfortable she is up on stage in an auditorium full of people!

AJ waiting for the show to start!

My little dancing princesses

Flowers from Nana and Papa

The four of us! AJ didn't make it all the way through - he was out!

My "Main Man"

I just love this baby boy to pieces! These are some pictures of AJ actually "cuddling" a couple nights ago. As you can tell he is not a very cuddly baby so I take what I can get. Regardless, he is still so sweet! I call him my "main man" and he just cracks up. LOVE HIM!

Missing Another Tooth!

So we are missing yet another tooth in our house! Kathryn lost her first tooth on April 19. She looks so adorable with it missing! She also has two other loose ones.... my baby girls are growing up too fast.

Here are some pictures I snapped as she was heading to bed!
