Confession #4 - We Love Our Boys

Aren't They Handsome?
Little C and the Baby
Life...

From the Babies perspective:
Lately, I have been a little concerned about my neck. My mom promises me it's there, even though it hasn't been visible the majority of my life. Here are a few things I do to "keep on keepin' on" -(for you older folk, that basically means "to help me move forward in life".)

I like to ...
Sleep
(rolls are an okay substitution for necks, right?) Cheese it Up
Hang with Little Grandpa
Play with cousins, or should I say, they like to play with me - or maybe just my head
Sucking on my arm is totally awesome...
Plus, it leaves really cool marks
I guess being neckless isn't that bad after all. I mean, they keep taking my photo, so I must be as cute as I think I am.
From Little C's Perspective:
Basically, I am the coolest kid in town. My mom is trying to teach me a new word called HUMILITY - but, I'm not really sure what that means. I'm a pretty magnificent sport though... See for yourself ...

I do facial masks with my mom, how embarrassing, but she loves it. Plus, I kind of look like the Hulk. I do enjoy changing my attire throughout the day. Morning, afternoon, and evening, you'll catch me in various ensembles - I have a very extensive vocabulary... my cousin taught me a three letter word beginning with S the other day. My mom said something under her breath like, "Oh my *(being my mom)* poor aunts and uncles... what did I put them through?" I have no idea what she was talking about. But, she wanted me to say she's sorry. My parents are pretty cool about letting me spice up my hair. Red, blue, and green are frequented atop my head - except on Sundays - I am still workin' on them for that one... mom tells me to "Keep on dreaming!"The baby is an okay playmate -beside the fact he can't walk or talk - but he's come a long way in the last 5 1/2 months, so here's hoping for more progress.
Gosh, I love to school Papa! No offense Papa, but my moves are about 60 decades hotter. I hope Papa knows it's opposite day, otherwise I'm in big trouble.
My cousins are totally off the hook!They know all of the amazing super hero games.
This one is especially my good buddy. He says it's okay for cousins to be buddies. And I believe him, because he just turned seven - he tells me that seven year olds know more than five year olds. Which is understandable.
This is us, walking to
and from the park.
The photographer is my oldest cousin. She's pretty cool, for a girl.


Sometimes, I do enjoy being the entertainer in my own backyard.
Everybody attends - The A List usually consists of Spider Man, Mr. Doodle, some birds, and Smokey the Dino.
Once in a while human company shows up too. And when all is said and done, I just kick back and enjoy some 60 degree rays.

When the cat is away the mice play- By the Beloved Spouse

Who taught him that??? Not me...kids these days!

You can see what they practice when I am at work. - Domestic Goddess's loving and devoted servant.

***Sorry Beloved Spouse -I had to delete some of the footage - I don't want people to think we have a hidden pole somewhere in our house. Little C can get pretty creative!*** I love you! Thanks for posting!

Well, he ain't no Michael Jordan. He can't dunk a basketball and we are glad to say that he doesn't walk around the house in his Fruit of the Looms. He's not a millionaire, he threw his winning McDonald's Monopoly piece in the garbage. But, he could still probably out do Michael in baseball and wears the bling quite competitively too. Plus, he's my Dad and he practically has as many fans as he does. Me, being his #1!
So, here is the Papa Macho at his last BSU basketball home game against Utah State. He has just received an appreciation award for his years of dedicated service. But, there is something lurking in the distance...
Later that evening he hands his adorable grandson a name tag that he had worn only hours earlier. His grandchild is devastated when he learns what it reads. The team who beat us that very night has a tag with his Papa's name printed on it. It is I who must explain the hard truth to this poor boy. Unfortunately, the word alumni means nothing to a five year old.. but he was wise enough to know that at least it hadn't read BYU. So, the Papa Macho's fans cheered on!
Because we are Orange and Blue - Through and through. Except for Jed, who claims he is nondenominational.
Go Orange
Go Big Blue
Fight Fight
BSU!!!
Go Broncos!
We love you Dad, even more than we, or shall we say I, love Michael Jordan. I don't really think anybody else in my family cares about him in the first place. Except for the baby, but that's because his judgement is still so clear, as the veil is thinner for him. Was that wrong to say? Just a joke. Truly Father, we love you. You are an incredible Dad and a terrific example in every way.

Confession #3 - What we do on our down time...

Save this image in your mind -
"The Big Who Diddy"
This will make sense later -
WHAT WE DO ON OUR DOWN TIME - COMING RIGHT UP...
NOT WHAT MOM PREFERS -




BUT WE DO DIG JED'S P.J.'S!!








I'D RATHER DO SOMETHING MORE ENTERTAINING - like making my family humor me with their best faces!

We still aren't sure if Jed is making a face or suffering from an allergic reaction.

Pathetic entertainment you say?
Well, we just discovered how you rate on the creativity scale - This is good stuff!!! And unfortunately, I think I won the ugliest face contest. Little C was a close second, and we're still not sure was competition Jed was in.


UNSURE OF WHAT TO DO WITH A DEFECTIVE DIAPER? JUST PUT IT ON YOUR HEAD - WELL, AT LEAST YOUR CHILDREN'S HEADS.





THEY'RE GOING TO LOVE THESE WHEN THEY'RE SIXTEEN HUH?










WHO'S A WHO?




BABY WHO







BROTHER WHO








MAMA WHO









DADDY WHO





HOW DO WE COMPARE TO THE REAL WHO DIDDY?
IF YOU'VE NEVER TAKEN A WHO PICTURE - NOW IS THE TIME TO LIVE ON THE WILD SIDE. GIVE IN TO THE PRESSURE... and once you do... e-mail your darling pictures to me - so we can laugh at you :) patton.cam@gmail.com
