Sharing the joy

So, recently, I've been wishing that my life was equipt with Tivo, (not the daily hygiene or when I first wake-up but just the good parts). So many funny things happen with the kids each day, I wish I could back-up and replay it for all to enjoy. The world would be a happier place if they could see the excitement in Vanessa's face as she returns from the neighbors Birthday party with a whole bag of candy to share. But at last, I rarely have my camera rolling during these priceless moments. Today was no exception. I was folding laundry and I must have looked tired or bored or something so Ethan decided to brighten my day. It was so funny that I made him re-enact his routine for the camera. Which of course turned into a full fledged video shoot with the kids.

Happy Face, Sad Face

Ethan is such a crack-up!!!

What happens if you try to up-stage Ethan

This probably wouldn't be so funny if it weren't for the fact that Ethan is usually happy to stand in Caden's shadow. He idolizes his big brother. This was not staged!!!

What's so Funny?

A little bit of a Diva

I don't need to worry about low self-esteem for Vanessa. Strike a pose, Vogue

Manoucheca in the spotlight

Do I even need to tell you how cute she is???????

Happy Birthday Dear Grandpa

Can you believe after 72 birthdays, my dad had never had a Scooby Doo Birthday party? I know, how in the world did that happen? Don't worry, the kids took care of that quickly. Caden (who's really good at math despite the fact that he doesn't like it) calculated that we didn't have enough boxes of candles but he put as many on as he could. We were one candle short of a burn permit. Justin disabled the smoke detectors for the occasion. It's a good thing Grandpa is such a good sport. I bet he can wait until his Power Ranger Birthday next year.
