Max is a good sharer

Max while eating a popsicle held it up and with a big grin and said "I shared it with Annie.  She flicked it (Max's pronunciation of licked) and then I flicked it". 

Gross yes but since they had already shared spit I got a picture of him sharing.  The damage had been done might as well capture it for posterity. 

My sister is getting married!

Christina an Joe set a date to be married August 3.  He is a great guy and I am so excited and happy for her.  We are neck deep in preparations.  We found a dress a month ago.  I am going to post my blurry small picture here of it because Joe will never look at this blog.  Right Joe?

Doesn't she look gorgeous!

These are some pictures of Joe's kids that I took for Christina and Joe. 

What cute kids.  I feel super lucky to be their aunt. 

Things that I love seeing.

Rob and Annie hanging on the couch.  Annie really has been a great help to our family.  If there is a day that Rob can't take her to work he calls me a cries about missing his Annie.  

Rob insists that he found Annie this way.  Rob and Annie are inseparable even in their love for Coke. 

 This is Sammy's Darth Vader impression.  I love it so much I make him do it over and over.  It drives him crazy. 

Holly the brave

Holly decided she wanted to be in the fifth grade talent show and she wanted to sing.  She decided on The Killers song "Somebody Told Me"  and she practiced all weekend.  After her performance she said her legs were shaking really bad but I didn't notice.

I was her D.J. so all of my pictures of her singing are from behind.  But she is still a cutie from behind. 

What a brave girl. 

Sam

Sam had his 1st grade program last week.  It was "Oceans of fun" and he was a seahorse. 

Sam and Brant made this clown fish. 

He did a great job and I can't believe 1st grade is over. 

Sunday night Sam was saying his prayers and he said "Please bless that we can choose the right choices when no one is watching."  What a great thought for a young kid.  I think it must have been something his primary teacher taught him.  It made an impression on him if he was still thinking about it at bedtime.
