We love to swim!

I wish that I could post some pictures of the kids having fun at the pool, but that would entail TAKING pictures of the kids having fun a the pool, a virtually impossible task while supervising them having fun at the pool. SO! In leiu of said pictures, I have pictures of them AFTER having fun at the pool! Check out those hairdos! (I promise to make an effort to post about things other than hair soon, less this become a "hair blog.)

Alexander: Mommy, does Chuck E Cheese have Mickey Mouse ears because he is a mouse, too?

Justin (when leaving for work this morning): Bye, Alexander. Bye, Jack. Bye, Wifey.
Alexander: Mommy, Daddy thinks you are a Wifey, but you are a Mommy because I need a Mommy.

More Blondies

My dad said I should post a picture of myself when I was young, to show that I too was a blondie. So was Justin, so it's no surprise that our kids are/were. Here's me (little drummer girl) with my brother and Justin with his sister. Blondies! :)

Blondies

We've been getting a lot of comments lately about how blond Jack's hair is. It really is quite blond! Here's a picture of Alexander, 5 months old, with blond hair as well! My boys are like little chameleons, both born with blue eyes and black hair, and if Alexander is the example, then they will both end up brown hair and eyes, first progressing through blond hair and hazel eyes!


Below I've put Alexander and Jack next to each other, making similar facial expressions to see how much they look alike. Is there anyone that can't tell who is who? ;) They're pretty different!

"Not the Mama!"

"Not the Mama!"

"Not the Mama!"

"Better, but still not the Mama!"

"Ahhh... Now that's what I'm talkin' about."

Strawberry Picking

Last week we went strawberry picking with our friends Alex and Cory, who were escorted by their Mommy and grandma. Alexander was super excited to pick the strawberries, but not so quick on the draw. I felt like we had a mega ton of strawberries... until we ate half of them just on the ride home! YUM. Fresh picked is definately best!

I can't believe it's already time for this

It's already time for the "look how messy my kid can get eating spaghetti" picture (and by the way, although it looks like most of it is on his face, he ate rather a LOT of it!). Before I know it, I'll blink and it will be time for the "first day of school" photo, and then "kid in a silly school play" photo, and then the "first formal dance" photo, and then the "graduating from high school" photo and then the "moving into his own apartment" photo! Booo! But for now... isn't he cute?
