This post is just to show off Lucy’s new hat. My Aunt Sunni gave Lucy this new hat a couple of weeks ago. Lucy likes wearing it, she even brings it to me to put it on her head. These two pictures were taken on our recent trip to the park.

Day at the Park

On Sunday, we took a family trip to the park. Lulu took her first ride on the teeter-totter and learned how to climb UP the slide, which is apparently more fun than going DOWN it. Here are a few pictures from our park fun.

She’s so ornery!

Lucy was in a very mischievious mood this morning. First, she decorated her face and the bathroom with my pink glittery lipstick and then she kept climbing up in the dining room chairs and making funny faces. Here are a couple of pictures of our morning!

Look what I found!

Last week, Lucy made a very important discovery. Her belly button. She can’t help but pull up her shirt and poke it to make sure that it’s still there. My favorite is when she’s walking around half bent over, trying to look at it. We can even ask her where her belly button is and she’ll gladly show it. Of course, she also has to pull up mommy’s and daddy’s shirts to make sure that we have one, too!

Fun with cousins.

Last week, we were able to spend some quality time with Wes, Kerry and Patrick. We had a great time letting the kiddos play and catching up on the goings-on of our lives. Here are a few pictures of Lucy and Patrick “sharing” lunch at a local BBQ joint.

I will be taking the week off from blogging. Just thought I would let you all know not to expect any updates this week.

I’m sure I’ll have more stories and pictures to share next week!

My husband, the romantic.

For those of you who don’t know, Tony can be quite the poet. While we were dating, he wrote several poems, most of which were featured in our wedding. However, since we’ve been married, I’ve only received one or two poems. That is, until yesterday.

Yesterday, on our fourth anniversary, Tony was so moved by love and romantical feelings that he broke into spontaneous poetry. I couldn’t help but share it with all of you.

me: “I love you more today than I did the day we were married.”

him: “My love for you is as deep as the ocean…and as wide as your ass.”

Happy Anniversary, Babycakes!

Last night at dinner, I overheard a conversation that I never thought I’d hear between an adult and a toddler.

dad: “Why are you moving your food from the plate to the cup holder?”

baby: “da da da da da da”

dad: “You’re not a transporter, you’re a consumer! Put the food in your mouth!”
