My Big Brother turns 16

We celebrated my brother's 16th birthday. (What's a birthday?) We had a big party. At first I was having fun watching all the people but then when the cake came out and all they offered me was a bottle, it was downhill from there. I threw a fit so hopefully mommy and daddy won't make that mistake again. My big brother seemed to have a good time and seemed really happy about receiving a lot of green paper. Mommy says some day I'll understand.

My BFF Sydney

My BFF Sydney, we go way back, we hang out all the time. I don't know why she thinks she can talk over me all the time who cares if she is 2 days older than I am. But I am bigger than her. She steals all my clothes but I suppose that means she has good fashion sense, and who can blame a girl for that? As my auntie Kelly always says, "fashion over function." If daddy only knew all the clothes I had....oh boy!! Mommy would be in BIG trouble.

MY Nana

MY nana is the best nana in the whole wide world. She plays with me all the time, she reads to me and we have very deep conversations. My nana says that it is all about me-that's what I am talking about! Sometimes I think my nana is the only one that understands me. She thinks she is lucky, but I am really the lucky one.

A Big Day

I got to attend My Uncle Ryan and Aunt Angela's wedding. I had such a good time, I promised my Uncle Ryan that I wouldn't cry anymore when he held me. (At least I wouldn't cry much!) Daddy was the best man (whatever that means, I just liked all the flowers). My mommy bought me a new dress, shoes, tights and a hair bow for this special occasion. Aunt Angela's dress was so pretty. My daddy keeps saying that I will never be able to wear one. I am not sure what he means by that. Mommy told him not to say things like that and to start saving now for my big day. Devin got to be the ring bearer, doesn't he look handsome?

It's Homecoming

My big brother Alex took his girlfriend Ashley to the Homecoming Dance a coupe weeks ago. Yes you read it correctly, a couple weeks ago. I am very behind on this whole blog thing so I will be going back and adding things. So bear with me until I can get caught up. Anyhow, back to the story. I tend to get distracted quite easily. They had a big group and my dad had to do a lot of the driving. He was very tired the next day. Alex didn't talk about it much but I think they had a really good time. That's the problem with boys, they don't talk much. You have to ask them specific questions. In fact, my dad had to talk to Ashley to find out what was really going on. She of coarse knew all the details. Look at the picture, doesn't my brother look handsome? His girlfriend Ashley is so pretty and nice.

Uncle Dave and Crazy Luna

Luna was even there to celebrate.

Sydney and Olivia's Baptism

What a busy day Sydney and I had. So many of our wonderful family and friends shared our special day with us. Our Uncle Sam even came in from California. It was a little cold for him. He's not used to this weather, in fact he walked me outside and it was quite cold. He forgot to put a blanket around me. Nana had to remind him that it was too cold for me. (Shhh..I think that's how I caught my cold) I can't take all the vitamins like he does. He is always popping vitamins and trying to look younger. Haha. Nana is always telling people what to do with me. I can tell she loves me soo much. Our great grandma even came in for our special day. My mom and dad are Sydney's Godparents. My godparents are my Uncle Sam and Auntie Angela. My other set of godparents are Auntie Mary and Uncle Ryan.

Tummy Time!!

I am 4 months old and I finally am starting to enjoy tummy time. I haven't spent as much time on my tummy as I should have but you have to understand that until a couple weeks ago I was not a happy baby. I was called many names; funja face, pouty pants, fussy-fussersons, crabby pants and many more. In fact, I heard my mom and dad say many times that they were going to sell me on craigs list. They also thought they could get a lot of money for me. I knew that if my parents got really sick of my crying Auntie Angela and/or my Nana would definitely take me. So, I had no worries.

Parents Just Wanna Have Fun !!!

My mom's friend Kelly (aka Auntie Kelly) turned 30 recently and it provided the perfect opportunity for the 3 of us, (yes you read correctly, Mom, dad and me,) to venture out!!! There was a band, drinks galore, food and Kelly's sister Kacey aka "baby holder" to add to the fun...I mean why wouldn't my mom drive all the way from Waukesha to Mequon in pouring rain only to venture back home at 2:30 am with baby in tow!?!? Your mom would do the same thing. TRUST ME! ( I cry A LOT!!)

Baby Holder

.

This was a part of the evening that really has no clear, concise explanation to it. Auntie Kelly's parents traveled through the Middle East this past summer (why wouldn't you want to travel through places like Turkey and Dubai during times like these?!?) and brought back all sorts of Middle Eastern garb....so why not bring them out for a 30th birthday party?!?! Really....that family is a little bit out there! None-the-less....a fun time was had by all...mostly by my mom....but she sure needed a good night out!!! (Remember, I cry a lot!)

Olivia's Baptism

Funny that this picture is so blurry....could the photographer have been chasing a psycho child in motion while trying to take the picture?!?!

The most beautiful little angel! 

Hmmm....why is mommy making that silly face?!?!

Uhm....who invited this kid?!?!

He is looking up at the heavens begging for forgiveness for his crazy behavior during a sacred ceremony!
