i will not gush

i’ve been accused of gushing when talking about my nieces and nephews. moi? i mean, can i help it that they are the smartest, cutest, funniest kids around? is it my fault that my camera is drawn to their faces like a moth to a light? i say no. BUT today, i’ll agree to pass on the gushing. i’ll just show you their faces from their birthday parties and let you create your own unbiased opinions about the smartest, cutest, funniest kids around. i’ll just say this. i’m glad for them. i’m glad that i am their ‘doo doo’. i’m glad that they are my little sweets. and i am so very glad that we belong to each other. they make my world sunnier.

this is the face of a girl who just saw her strawberry shortcake spread laid out for no other reason except to bring her delight.

oh, that sweet, sweet face. i will not gush.

ty was so happy with his 'gi joe, army man, snake eyes' party that he broke out in the robot.

love the smoke in this next picture

i'm posting this one for chris..he loves it (and he took it). i'm guessing there is a correlation.

while this may look cruel, ty was laughing hysterically at uncle jordan and uncle chris's water bombing.

because who can really resist those pieces of paper laced with sugar?

so the day after the strawberry shortcake/gi joe party, jack turned 4 and had a mickey pool party
