that orange UVA hat...:D

It's Bug's favorite thing to wear. And so, it only seemed right that, for his birthday this past Sunday, we make him a baseball cake.
Yes, our little baby bug had his 3rd birthday. Here are some great pictures to sum him and his special day up. :)

aren't his eyes *lovely*?

sorry, had to 'erase' his name that we put on the rim. that's why it looks foggy in all the hat pictures. :D

notice Gab and mom's scared looks when i hit the pinata. :D

The little blonde girl is 'A' from Pure Joy. We had their family over for his 'party'. :)

please excuse how weird i look in all of them.
And Gab and I were all fancied up because we went to the swim team banquet before. :)

I think he had a wonderful birthday. :) Happy late birthday again, Bug!! I can't believe you're 3. 

come on, guys...

...really?!?

What am I supposed to do now? :P

so i've changed his name a couple times...

But I can't completely decide one which one.

What do ya think?

Does he look like a Danny (his middle name's Daniel), a "DJ" (for Davy Jones), or just plain Davy.

I don't know why I got stuck on D's...:D

(these were taken while we were watching the world's largest snowflake Google doodle video. everytime the cow mooed he's throw back his head and laugh. :P)

I know. I'll let y'all vote...:) There's a poll under his picture. Tell me which one you like the best.

(as for the pictures, there's never enough joy in the world, right? it's the little things...;)

those pictures i never posted...

We got some snow last week, and I went out in my sweatshirt and got some great pictures. It was really less of a real "snow" and more of an ice storm with some flurries sprinkled in, but...

Just hadn't put them up yet, so...

...see the grass was green, but everything was frozen...

...and i got the most awesome model ever...

...(our charlie brown tree)...

<3

one of those things you just have to post...

(P. S. It's Jo's birthday today! Go wish her a happy birthday)

Do you agree?

"Little Boys"

by Unknown

Little boys come in all shapes and sizes,

Shy and adventurous, full of surprises,

With misshapen halos and mischievous grins,

Small dirty faces, and sweet, sticky chins.

They'll keep you so busy, and yet all the while

Nothing can brighten the world like their smile.

And no greater treasure has brought homes more joy

Than a curious, active, and lovable boy!

So true...:)

Brothers...

...*sigh*...:P

A bit of my life and all the cuteness surrounding me...

:)

What happens in Old Navy...

...when there's a doggy just sitting there, waiting to be ridden...

(yes, kind of bad pictures...but cute still. And again, DC pictures coming up...)

Happy Birthday, Bug!!

It's Bug's birthday!!! And...it's Good Friday. Wonderful, right?

Anyway...poor little Bug is going to have a lot of his birthday postponed to Easter Sunday. He'll get his gifts today, but a cake and party (if he has one) will have to be saved since it's Good Friday.

But...this is for you, my little Bug-bug:

I love you! You're the cutest person I've ever seen...and I can say that honestly. I love getting to know you, learning your language, and watching you grow up (

which you're doing SO fast). It's hard to beli

eve you're turning 2...

Always remember that your big sis "Bee-bee" loves you...that's something that will never change.

AMAZING--You went from this...

...to this. ;)

You're my favorite brother--LOVE YOU!

(P. S. We're thinking maybe, now that he's 2, he deserves a real name...so watch out. One day one'll probably show up. Oh...and sorry if the pictures are way messed up. I schedule-posted this (we're doing a internet fast today), so I can't check them and fix them...)

And for Good Friday:

Have a blessed rest of your Holy Week!
