Our trip to Lowe's.

Sunday Mike, Mikey and I headed to Lowe's to buy some "homeowner" stuff. I mean, that's what that store is for right? A nice man saw Mikey and said "What a cutie! Look at those cheeks!". I replied with "I know right?". Later he saw me and the baby standing with Mike and the man then exclaimed "Now I see he gets his cheeks from his dad!". Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! It was pretty funny! They are obviously twins.

Mattie's Birthday at Lakeside

Mattie turned three today and had her birthday party at Lakeside this past weekend. I hadn't been there in years and it was so much fun to walk around the park and bring back so many memories. It's rough turning three but Mattie handled it like a pro. She had pizza and punch and took off to ride kiddie rides. She came back later to open gifts and blow out her candles. After thanking her guests for the gifts and for attending her party, she was back to the rides. Mattie was a great host.



She has the best expressions! Very serious here!


Mikey was a good sport and rocked the tiara for a bit since it was a Princess Party.



He had a great time and can't wait to come back when he can get on a ride himself!

What time is it?

Football time baby! August 6, the Broncos held a practice at Invesco field and it was open to their fans. It was very packed for a practice. You should have seen the lines to the concession stand. Denver has some great fans!

Big Mike and lil Mikey. The baby was just so relaxed he fell asleep despite the crowds stomping their feet and doing the wave.


Isaiah didn't quite know what he was doing there but he was very entertained.



Nathan was excited too!



Nathan going up against some heavy hitters!



Adrian and his boys snuck into the player's locker room. Notice Nate "gently" urging Isaiah to look at the camera.


It wasn't working.


Mike getting suited up!

Rolling again.

Mikey was getting to be quite a little accomplished roller early on but he just decided he wanted no more. Until last week that is. I kept trying to capture it with my camera but he's just too quick.


Almost!



There's big Mike, always trying to be in the pic.

Big mess!

I was feeding Mikey his cereal and he decided he was done by kicking the bowl and spilling it all over himself! He is very strong and his kicks are getting stronger! Here's the aftermath:






Despite the sad face, I don't think he was sorry. Notice the Trump combover? Nice! He's trying to grow out his bangs.

Baton Rouge invades!

Auntie Mary and her girls came to visit from Baton Rouge. We hadn't seen the girls in a long time and it was great to see them. Of course they are all taller than me, but who isn't?








Only one missing is Carmen! Otherwise, this is Grandma Yo and her kids.

Moe and Jaylyn

I just don't know why my neck does that. It's weird, I know.  Mikey was sleeping, it was just too much excitement for him.

Yes, Erica was still here!  Kidding. It was Erica and Kolby's last night before they went back to Califas.  Hope you guys had fun!

Rohnny, Chantae and Cameron.

Doogie and Ivan. I guess they are besties now. You guys are so whatever!

Look at the two nerds in the back!

Norma!

I think Hector is surprised! 

Eric, Eltrece and their crew.

Isaiah enjoying the swing!

Uh oh. Maybe he was scared.

Adrian, Kellie and Isaiah

Andrew...it was a little cold out!

And wet...Here's Nathan almost completely soaked!

This was the "nice" picture

"Crazy" pic. 

A couple more "nice" pics.  Poor Mikey, he was in the middle of it all!

Water World, Day 2

A.J. and Nathan both have July birthdays so we went again the very next day for A.J.'s party.

Mikey sleeping on our way to Water World.  This nap didn't last very long. They never do these days.

We were a little more low key this day and just let Mikey relax. It's what he likes best.
