Finally, some warm weather!!!

It was warm outside, which was a huge surprise. Anyway, it was such a nice day to go to the park. Addison had a great time playing with Kaleb and Jordan had a good time throwing the football around. Joshua enjoyed playing on the play set and sliding on the slide.

Adam helping Kaleb out (keeping that mouth shut)

 and of course giving Kaleb some attention!!!

Addison trying to help Kaleb

Our house was being seen by someone so after the Bertuglia's left we headed to West End Park (Zephy's favorite park). Usually no one is around and so were able to let Zephy free to run and expend all that energy he has.

Then we finally climbed on top of the old foundtain. Nick and I had always wondered what it looked like, but we (especially Nick) had never attempted to go find out. The boys had a blast playing "it". I grabbed some shots.

Kaleb falling in water

Falling in it again.  I think he fell in it another time too.  Typical!!!

I liked this pic of Husband!!!

Jordan breaking out of his shell and telling me to take pictures of him posing.

Zephy exhausted and needing H20!!!

Mardi Gras Day 2-16-10

It is really convenient since Nick's mom basically lives on the parade route. Otherwise, I'm not sure I could make it the whole day.

                         Kaleb had a blast and caught a ton of beads.

Miss Addison Grace caught a ton of beads & stuffed animals on her dad's shoulders. She did not want to take the beads off and only wanted to keep adding.

Aunt Sue painted Kaleb's face and Kaleb asked if he could paint hers and she accidently said sure later (what she didn't realize....he doesn't forget).

Wow, Aunt Sue is a real trooper.   Not sure i would let my niece or nephew do this.

Ringing in the New Year 2010!!!

The evidence!!!


We have never had any set plans for NYE. Nick's friend Speros said he was gonna be in town and would like to see his friends. Nick & I invited a few peeps over to catch up. Adam said he was bringing his own firework. He calls it his cannon and he wanted to blow it up in front of our house and Nick was just not allowing it. Well, after we drove to the lakefront and then ended up in Bucktown...we are all thankful he did not blow it up in our driveway. It was soooooo LLLLOOOUUUDDDDDDDD!!!!!! Nick was like I told u all I knew Adam and it would be extremely loud. Sure enough that thing set off a car alarm about a block away.
