A Little Variety...

Playing hairdresser in the bathroom!

Getting big! He wants to be just like his big sisters... when they have a snack, so does he. If they sit on a chair - he can too!

and he still LOVES the bath. He goes in the big bathtub now but once in a while we do a quick dunk in the sink because it's easy and he loves to play with the running water!

Eating with a spoon!

BUBBLES!

Miss Brooke... aka "Mini Mommy" - she is always reminding me that Joey is HER baby! She was in heaven being allowed to walk him up the street!

and as long as he's outside - he's a happy camper!

A Fun Mother's Day!

This got out of order... but it's a perfect picture to put at the top. Love these guys SO much and they've already given me the best gift of all - to be their Mommy!!!

It started off a couple days before Mother's Day with Brynn's Mother's Day Tea Party at school. She told me they were supposed to dress old fashioned and she wanted to wear this dress. She's all about posing these days now that she's ice skating!

When we arrived the kids escorted their Mom's one by one to their tables and then they asked us what we would like to drink. She had warned me that my job was just to sit - and they would take care of the rest. It was a nice treat!

Love her SO much! Miss Linda had taken "old fashioned" pictures of them the week before and surprised us all with the most adorable pictures for us!

and then there were songs. So stinking cute!!! I do have videos but can't figure out how to post.

Brynn had her "boyfriend" Zavier

They made these flowers for us. They were to say 6 things about their Mom and then Miss Linda had us come in front of everyone while she presented them! We also had Mother/Daughter charades -so fun! Brynn and I had to act out a penguin going down a slide!

Brooky made me this adorable card at school - so proud!

Then on Sunday, our day started off with the famous cinnamon rolls - and licking the icing of course!

Picking out "the one"!

Then we went to Turf Paradise to have brunch and watch the horses race!

Such a fun day!

Go Bumblebees!

Brooky's last game of the season (#5) - go Bumblebees!

She's the smallest on the team but that doesn't stop her from going after the ball!

She does live for the high 5's and the snacks after the game though!

After someone would score, she was always the first one back to Coach Clint for a high 5!

Love it!

Go Brooky!!

This was their party to celebrate their season...

We were in charge of dessert so we made Bumblebee cookies!

The Bumblebees!

GOOFBALLS!

She was soooooooooooooo excited to get her trophy!!! Look at that smile.  When we got home, she said "Wow - I didn't know I was going to get a trophy, that's awesome!" Then she said "This is so special to me!"  (so sweet... she tries to act all tough, but deep down she is a little softy :) ) - When I went to check on them at bedtime, she was sleeping with her trophy!

Yay!

The 2 men!

My Little Pony Girls & a Cute Boy!

Daddy found these dresses and the girls were in heaven - also Brooky's "Toy Story" boots. I think she'll wear them all summer!

Handsome!

All it takes is a box for hours of entertainment...

18 months!!!

Our little Picasso did his first painting on his 18 month birthday!!! He really liked doing it as well! Anywhere I put a blob of paint, he was right there with his paintbrush! Too cute. We'll hang this on his wall and treasure it forever :)

At 18 months, the little stinker is still not walking! We know he can - he's taken many steps - but he's faster and more comfortable crawling so why not?! He "walks" a lot standing up on his knees and scooting. I guess everyone has there own style! His clothes are taking a beating... but that's all part of being a little boy! He's like a shark with 10 teeth including 4 molars and he got every single one of them after he turned one! He loves to eat, breakfast is his favorite and whatever the girls have, that's what he wants! Including cups that look exactly the same as theirs, bedtime snacks, etc... He loves them! He's not talking yet, but neither were the girls at this age so we'll probably be following in the same pattern as his big sisters. He doesn't sleep through the night yet either - I'm sure I have babied him just a little but I just can't help it! I got my 1st KISS on May 2nd!!!! My heart melted - I love this boy so much! We keep trying to get a picture of it but of course he knows this and won't pucker up in front of the camera! Lol

He LOVES being outside! In the sand, on the roller coaster, in the fountain and on the slide. He prefers to go head first - but I'm ok with that as well because the slide really freaks me out these days! Looking forward to getting him in the pool - he loves water. and he still loves cars - so much! We got him a boy truck to cruise around in so he didn't have to drive the pink cozy coupe anymore... he knew what it was as soon as he saw the box and climbed on in before Daddy could even get the wheels on!

He's wearing 18 month shirts and 12 month pants but he is getting taller... he's able to open doors on his tip toes and comes in the bathroom all the time. SURPRISE!

We love him SO much - he has the sweetest disposition and is so stinking cute. I can't get enough! Happy 18 months to the best boy in the world!
