Happy Happy #5 - Happy Birthday to Iggie!

My (*favorite*) nephew turns 3 today! Little Ignatius is getting so old....

I remember when he was born. I remember getting choked up, thinking that my little sister made this perfect (not-so)little baby boy.

And I've watched him grow... I've taught him things. I especially love when you ask him "Who is your favorite aunt?" and he says "Auntie Jenny". Yeah, I did that.

Also, when you ask him "Guess what?"... He says
"Chicken butt!"

I couldn't love this kid more if he were my own.

So, Happy Birthday, dear Iggie. I love you tons!




"I'm running... running... running...."














And walking in the grass with Uncle Joe

Happy Happy #4

Oh, GOSH! I've been running around like a maniac in preparation of a big ol' craft show coming up in two weekends.... And I've been neglecting my blog(s). I need a happy today though... so here are my boys! :D

Joe and Iggie playing in the grass at the lake.... Iggie loves his Uncle Joe.

This is Brutus. He's in the sink. Water theme for ya.... :D

Happy Halloween!

I did Iggie's makeup, but it was an ordeal! He was not amused! Super cute though, right!?



















Joe and I as Rednecks... I was more of a cowgirl... But whatever!

We stopped at the liquor store and the cashier goes "Oh, I get it, she's beauty and you're the beast!"








Friday. Everyone kept asking where my costume was.... Thanks, awesome coworkers! :D

While Sighting in the Rifles....

I was really surprised that my nephew didn't freak out. Guns are loud, right? He just covered his ears and watched the guys. Here are a couple cutes pics of the day.

He was really amazed at the woods. He lives in a suburb of Minneapolis, so being surrounded by so many trees was fun. He wanted to go play in them.


He's such a ham. He was posing for me and running around like a goon. Such an adorable little face!














It was cold, but so lovely outside! Minnesota is so nice this time of year!


Hanging out with great Grandpa and Grandpa. He really wanted to drive the tractor. And backhoe.... and scoop.









The sky was so perfectly blue!


Following Joe and Grandpa after seeing how well they shot their guns!
















DUCK AND COVER!


I ended up having to hold his ears closed. I'm already half deaf anyway.... Darn that gangsta' rap I listened to (and still do) so loud.













Trying to figure out what Joe was doing.



Just being cute!

La la la lovely....

I just had lunch with Dee of Barefoot Bath and Body! I'm seriously stuffed and my brain is ceasing to work well.... But here are some pics for fun!


Dome Dog... Nom NOM NOM NOM! I couldn't eat it all, but I had to have one when we went to the Twin's game!


The little Iggie boy swimming at the beach for the first time! He had fun!



Brutus and his pink blanket... He loves it.


The newest project....... I'm kind of loving it. Sorry the colors aren't quite right, but I was inside when I took the pic!

Montage Monday

Just a few photos...




I don't want to go back to work... That's what this photo says....! It's sunny for the first time in however long... And back to work I go!



This is my nephews little heinie as he tries to get back up again... Quite a love, no!? He even liked me after I combed out his hair...Kids are so funny



I have tons of pics of my cat... this is just a random one of Brutus. I luff him.



The Love... doing laundry. I'm so spoiled... At least I know my whites won't turn pink! Though, I hate to say, our towels ARE slightly pink.... I had to laugh.... He did it, but still...
