The Olympics

Olympics-

The games were in London and the boys loved Micheal Phelps and Usain Bolt ( no surprise there).  They love wearing their underwear, jumping off the couch, and "swiiming" for gold down the hallway.

You basically eat.  You eat ritz crackers, pick up cheerios, and love string cheese.  Its the four teeth - two top and bottom teeth.

You crawl- still the worm style, and can sit up.  You love to laugh and smile all of the time.  I must hear at least twice a day, "He is one happy baby".  Its true!  The other day a woman at the store kissed your foot and said thanks for letting her do that.  Today at Dad's work party you smiled at someone and she yelled, "Hey that baby smiled at me!  I made that baby smile!"  You make a lot of people's days.

 Like Tonio, you are a messy eater.  I love the tilt of the head picture.  You like to do that to and it makes you look like you are flirting. 

 We are at the river for Tonio's birthday and this is the sweetest picture.  I love the green background and you are both smiling together- amazing.

Birthday present from Uncle Tony. 

 Another wonderful birthday cake made by Daddy.  This year was a baseball diamond. 

 Moving in to our new place. 

 For Tonio's 5th birthday we went to the Old Fashioned Video Games and then to dinner at the Rainforest Cafe.  Your dad hated the place.  It was loud and kind of crazy with lousy food but the boys liked it.  There were aquariums and moving fake apes.  What is there not to like? 

 Miguel asked this guy if the balloon animals were free.  Miguel came back and said they were.  So we got two balloon bow and arrows and it cost $12!  Another reason Daddy didnt like it.    Notice that giant ball of gum in Tonio's mouth--- from the claw at the old fashioned video games. 

 In the new house. 

 At the River for Lucci's 7th birthday:
Max, Tonio, Miguel, Lucci, Brad's daughter, Gia, Amelia

 They all camped in the tent with Dale. 

Labor Day

 Baseball with Lucci and Gia.

As for the last four years, we go to the river with Tony to celebrate Labor Day and Tonio's birthday.  It was a gorgeous weekend filled with canoeing, swimming of the dock and berry picking. 

Turk Street

We bought a house- a piece of the American dream (why!  Why???)
