Lily girl

Gillian Elise, the second baby who keeps us all on our toes with her hammy sense of humor, her stubborn streak, her love and sweetness, her dancing and her somewhat difficult relationship with gravity. A girl is a very nice treat to have indeed...

A girl and her purple horse, a happy combination

she is a huge fan of matching dresses and hats..and climbing all the same places as brother

a fashion plate

a ham for the camera

is perpetually in piggy paints now. She'd be in distress if she knew I posted a picture with it all "chippy" its on the schedule to repaint them today (as it is every week now ;) )

she adores baby doll, and having her to carry around in the sling (so named Noah after a new baby friend...cute if not extra funny since  Noah is a boy ;) )

always with the dancing, she loves to dance

a free spirit, to dress nice but still get dirty...very lovable

This is Ollie, soon to be replaced as the youngest. He is very passionate about everything, from attack hugs to screaming fits to happy dances and tantrums.He makes sure we are entertained and well cuddled, not to mention very amused...

His current favorite cuddle place, mama's very large belly.

determination...he has lots of it, he really went to town on this apple. He's not much of a sharer yet

he loves popsicles ALMOST as much as he loves hamming it up with sister

cuddling next to his brother while he plays games on the phone is a new favored pastime, Bruce doesn't seem to mind

he loves his mama, and is amazed with giraffes and zebras too. The zoo is one big amazing awesome place to him

he almost always has his shoes off, he just chucks em off asap, in the car, outside, at the grocery store...on this day, shoeless, shirtless and playing in water, he was incredibly happy

Ollie loves watermelon, he could eat half of one in one sitting, truly

Dog days of summer and belly pictures abound

Zoo time

finally got to take daddy to the zoo last weekend. fun times were had by all!

he thinks its awesome to ride the giraffe. worth the $2 just for that grin

the carousel ride was a big hit, no really this is just a bad shot of ollie, he loved it

Piggy paints

Gillian so enjoys having her nails painted. She keeps on me if it gets too chippy. Thank goodness for Piggy Paints which are non-toxic and non smelly.


a princess needs her beautifying after all!

Batman, the bee and a giraffe

One never knows who will show up after breakfast around here....
