Happy 1st Birthday Danny Boy!

Happy 1st Birthday baby boy Danny!

Can't believe it has been a year. Danny is still a little sweetheart/ destroyer of our house and I can't get enough of him.

A few facts:

He has 8 teeth

He walks around everything and stands on his own

He is a destroyer... or as Drew likes to call him a terrorist... because anything that is organized in our house he likes to tear is apart... ha ha ha

He is a mama's boy... but at the same time LOVES to get in on the wrestling action with dad and Ty

He loves york peppermint patties, bread, and yogurt

He loves to head up the stairs as soon as he realizes that someone forgot to put the gate up... and he looks around to see if anyone has noticed.

He says mama, baba, Ty Ty and a lot of sweet squeals and other baby noises.

He is happy almost all the time but can't sit still for more than 30 seconds.

He is the love of our lives!!

P.S. Thank you Sarah for taking the photos... that was fun!

Stopped for lunch

On the metro

So a few weeks ago I got to go to Washington D.C. / Virginia to visit my great friend Sylvie-Anne who just recently had her second little girl Noemie... so cute! Her husband Eliot is there for a few months in training as a Jag officer in the Marines... ya ... hard core.

I forgot to bring my camera charger so I ended up buying a disposable camera... ya old school.. so old school in fact that the film took 3 weeks to get developed! And the pictures are super grainy... I did all I could to touch up the color.

Danny go to come along with me while Ty stayed home with Drew. We spent time hanging out at home with the new babe but did take a day to go to federal square and the Marines Museum. Both were awesome and gave me a new found respect for our armed forces and a sense of pride to be an American. All the better, I loved taking Danny to all these sites! ... not that he will remember any of it :) The week was so fun with Sylvie... just as it always is!

Halloween 2010

Happy Halloween!

The Pumpkin Patch

Better late than never and although it was freezing ... we made it to the pumpkin patch just in time to carve our pumpkin at our neighbors halloween party! This was by far the funnest pumpkin patch excursion with how excited Ty was about everything and how Danny just wanted to eat the hay... ha ha ha! They both were so fun.

Sunday Photo

SO... I've been really wanting to do this for sometime now. My great friend Sarah takes a photo of her girls every sunday and its so fun... I want to start the same thing. But her pictures always turn out so great... and she has 4 girls she is capturing in a photo! These were our attempts... some on the couch that quickly moved to the floor... can't get these boys to hold still for more than 2 seconds!

And happy birthday Drewser... you rock!

Viva Las Vegas... and St. George

Last weekend... well Thursday - Sunday we took off for a last minute get away to Drew's folks place in St. George and since my sister Inna had never been to Vegas we decided to take her down and spend all day Friday there. ... Just enough time to hit up my favorite outlet mall, visit the Belagio fountain and MGM lions, walk the strip a bit and take a ride on the NY NY roller coaster.

In George we swam... a lot and squeezed through the narrows... well Ty and Inna could just walk through! So much fun. I love last minute get aways!
