Puppy

She sleeps with this... it's her Puppy. Her brother sleeps with a puppy so she thinks her bunny is also one.

Love this picture. Not sure what it is. Just love it.

Baby Buddha

This child is the easiest child in the history of the universe to photograph. I could have been done in 15 minutes and still had a plethora of pictures to choose from. I can't even STAND how chunky he is. And his personality. The best news is I see him all the time and I get to smother him with hugs, kisses, and squeezes as much as I want!! He's the BEST!

p.s. While I was out of the room his mom played with my camera. She's the one that got the bottom picture. I LOVE it. LOVE IT!

I Can't Wait Until I'm Done

I'm sorry but I can't wait until I'm done editing these to post these pictures. I'm not sure why I find these pictures so awesome. It's certainly not my skills. I think it's Neal. The guy's amazing. He always has been. I'm sure I've driven him crazy since we were kids but he's my cousin so he HAS to love me. You know when you're kids... or teenagers and you watch your stud of a water polo playing cousin vomiting in your toilet late one night from... nevermind, we won't go there... anyways, you know when you're younger you wonder who will do what with their lives. I'm proud to say that Neal is one of the MOST amazing people I have EVER met. His only rival is his beautiful Italian, excuse me, Sicilian, wife.
So, Neal is now a brave firefighter. I am SO proud to be associated with him; to be related to him. He has a heart of gold, amazing taste in women (always has), and is one of the VERY cutest Daddy's in the world.
He let us have a tour of his Fire Station while we were out visiting last week. I can honestly say that it was the highlight of my little guy's trip. When he grows up he wants to be a "fireman dentist" and now waves and yells, "Hi, Uncle Neal" EVERY time we drive by a fire truck. It's THE cutest thing ever... next to these pictures.
Neal and Lisa's kids are so darling. I honestly don't know what it is about these pictures. It may be that I'm an emotional pregnant mess. It may be that I know that Neal will probably look at them, think they're cute, and move on with his life, never looking back. It may be that if I was Lisa, I would be beyond thrilled to have a picture of my little girl holding my husband's work hat that is so obviously been through it's share of messes. I just love these pictures. They make me want to cry... but we'll chalk that up to it being family; people I love, and pregnancy hormones.
I hope you guys like them. Thanks again for the fun day. :)

I may be posting a few more once I'm done... there are some of their little girl that are SO cute!

Spud...

Fire rescue dog... my cousin is a firefighter. Coolest guy. Although not super cooperative in the picture department. :) Lucky for him I love him anyways. More pictures to come of his cuter than cute kids... taken at the fire station. I really think that the tour of the fire station was the highlight of our trip to California. What a brave cousin I have... who've thunk it... I use to make him cry back in the day. (ok, only once but we have it on video.)
