Blue wants to know if baby Ryan can come over?

More Easter pics

Shortly after baby J was flung carelessly to the side as Curious George was on tv. =) The grand winner of the hunt.

A quick snuggle with Papa

Baby J and Finnian. Finn is less than a month younger than Baby J. I see very tall trouble in their future.

Easter: The Aftermath

Here comes Peter Cottontail......

Happy Easter everyone!! It has been a really great day so far. We went to church with Nana and Papa and then had an Easter egg hint. This morning Blue had the first Easter where she knew what was going on. The videos are out of order sorry. The true order of them is 3,4,2,1 in how time wise they happened. Have a great holiday!

My two bunnies

Blue got chalk and candy galore

Baby's J got diapers!

Blue on the hunt



Finally waking up. She is not a morning person. She is like Mommy



Just waking up to find her basket



Her first look at what the Easter Bunny brought her.

Game on! .....car!

The tiger stalks its prey. I must get that pink ball in the goal. Fake left. Fake right

Keep my eye on the goal. Must concentrate.

Wait.....what's that?

Mommy, is that a camera?

Oh! It is a camera!

Quick model pose!

Ok back to work. Must concentrate this time!

My Daddy and me

Bonding time for the two of them.

Congratulations Gen and Tom

Congrats guys! What a cutie he is! Little Edward (Eddy) Thomas Joseph Turpel was born on St.. Patties Day. Gen went through a few days of very hard work, but is doing fine. Hopefully more pictures to come. Welcome to the world little Eddy. I panicked that he had no diaper on. I have learned since having a boy what the potential for artwork is. =)

This is the first grandbaby in the Turpel family, so I thought that this is a really cool shot of Tom's father catching his first look at his son with his new grandson. A very sweet moment.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Well Rosie-O-Day came by this morning to greet us with some green to celebrate. Notice to the smile with teeth. Happy St. Patty's Day!

Goodbye sweet Civic

Yep, it was a good one. I was alone and no one was seriously hurt thank goodness. I will miss my car. It was a nice ten years together.

Baby J is 3 months old!!!

Baby J can laugh now!

It happened for the first time on the 28th of February (so I have it noted someday) Now he is doing it all the time. So cute!

Nana would be so proud.

When I got Blue ready today. I showed her what she looked like in the mirror. She said, "I go girl!"

This is what can happen when she is allowed to dress herself.

I turned 28 on February 12

Happy Birthday to me! My mother made me the cake that I always wanted when I was little. Much fun. I have a very good family.

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta....

Don't mess with Blue. She's hardcore Sesame Street. The cutie with the bootie in her low rise jeans.

Glamour shots

Baby J is 8 weeks Blue is 134 weeks. =)

So happy together.

He learned to smile!

I love it, because now if you smile at him he breaks out into this big dimply grin. hee hee

Maybe she'll live in a commune someday.

Blue figured out how to get her pj's off during nap time and bedtime. Happily she plays naked until that cold wind hits her and she pees. Frustrated with the increase in laundry, D and I decided to start safety pinning her pajamas closed. HA! She laughed at that feeble attempt to keep her clothed. The next morning there she was naked again. We got her this time. Last night, we put the safety pin through the eyelet of the zipper so she literally couldn't move it. You ccould feel her mind working and the mischievous smile come out. This morning I went into her room and there she was, NAKED! She wriggled her body up and out of the neck hole, so the pajamas were still perfectly in tactand unzipped. Suggestions? =)

Financial questions

Today Blue runs into the room and says, "Hey Mommy! Hey Mommy! I got a question for you." She very seriously said, " How much is that doggie in the window?"

Baby J is one month old!

All right I admit I'm a day behind, but hey at least I'm getting better with each kid! He is changing so fast.
