Ahhhhhh

Sometimes, I think I am a little nuts with all of the pictures I take and the scrapbooking that I love. Then I run across pictures that capture the essence of the day so perfectly like these and my passion is reaffirmed. We took a boat ride to Nest Key when Aunt Sue and Aunt Lynda were here - we were so lucky with the weather. We all had a wonderful time. Ruston really liked eating the sand! He is quick, REALLY quick! (these are a little out of sequence, forgive me. I had a few technical difficulties!)

Look who is standing in their crib!

March 3rd, Ruston stood up in his crib. What a cute toothy grin! He has his top two front teeth and will have the next two front teeth in a matter of days. It is a good thing, all he wants to do is eat. I can't wait until he is a teenage boy with a teenage boy appetite. Maybe with all of those teeth he will really be able to eat those nuggets soon! Who needs baby food when there is chicken nuggets.

She is almost 4!

At what moment was it when my baby turned into this beautiful little girl? I am not sure, but I know I am so proud of every moment that I have with her. I love these photos of her because they are truely my Ani. Ani is growing into a very sweet, passionate (that is a good word for it) person. She can melt the hearts of everyone in a room with that smile. Virgel said tonight, that when she is older she could go 130 mph in a 15 mph school zone and never get a ticket with that smile! I wish I could capture her little devilish giggle in a jar and open it whenever the world doesn't seem quite right, because all you need is a little of that giggle to know that with patience and time, nothing is really that bad and somehow it is all part of God's plan. Just giggle and let the innocence of childhood fill your heart! I love you Anibear, mom

What?

You mean you didn't buy these chicken nuggets for me? He would NOT let go of these nuggets for over an hour! He just kept rolling around in the floor chewing on them!

Food? Yeah, I like food!

This started out as a bowl of refried beans! It ended up as an even coating of refried beans! YUM!

How many things can you find wrong?

So, it looks like my little girl fell asleep playing? Nope. She actually went to sleep with Minnie Mouse, from Disney; her white tiger from Aunt Lynda and Aunt Sue; her all time favorite baby since she was a year old, a barrett, a pony tail, a book (just under the cover) and most importantly with her princess 'slippers' on. I took the shoes off and the next morning found that she got in her drawer, got out socks and put them back on. She has now worn these shoes, I mean slippers, to bed for at least a month straight. Silly, sweet, precious girl!

The Painting

Okay, I have had issues with my picture program. I finally got it fixed. Here is a picture of the painting I bought at the Wyland Wall. It didn't come out great, but you get the idea. I am sad though, since it is a brand new release it is going to take until AUGUST before I receive it! AGH! Good thing I took the picture! ;(
