Boydee and Momma, ready for Christmas

I did take this photo a few weeks ago. We got our Christmas tree up on time.

Boydee has been pretty mad this evening. I could understand if it was last night, maybe the Davidson game made him mad? But no, tonight, everything was peaceful, yet he screamed at his Momma for an hour before I finally overheard him through the Foo Fighters concert (on Palladia) and went up to give Adro a break. An hour later, and he's still screaming.

I needed a break so I set him down on the couch (I'm sitting at the computer, right behind him). I've got GolTV on (La Primera highlights) and Radiohead's "How to Disappear Completely" on a loop on the jukebox. Now, he's chilling. Maybe it's a good combo? Maybe he just needed some alone time?

Or maybe I have a reincarnated Spanish soccer fan on my hands?

Regardless... let's get to bed soon, Boydee. It's not vacation time yet.

I'll try to post the photo I just took of Boyd's POV next...

I really need to return that library book...

Five years later? That's gotta be a major fine.

(JOKING, I went and checked it out again.)

Evey is the top photo, taken when she was about eight weeks old. The second photo is Boydee, taken at about eight weeks old.

The original post with this shot of Evey can be found here.

Nice rental!

I've got this as my rental for 24 hrs. The guy got me a good deal, around half price.

It's a 2012 Corvette with only 500 miles on it! that's how I roll!

The Rat Pack

Check out this crew of baby boys!

From left to right is Asher (with Kendall); Boyd (with Adro); Hayden (with Lindsey); and Spencer (with Jess). There are four months between oldest (Hayden or Asher?) to youngest (Boydee.)

I'll try to get a better photo of these boys together someday. As you can tell, my son wasn't too happy about the photo.

Happy 5th birthday Evey!!!

Evey turned 5 on Wednesday. But we've been celebrating her birthday all week!

I have a bunch of cool photos to share... I'll update as the week goes on.

Happy birthday Evey!!!

Enchiladas and eggs

My Grandma JoJo made me a batch of enchiladas recently... These were probably the first enchiladas I've had from grandma in 5 or 6 years. A nice surprise.

And Grandma's still got it. to this day she makes the best enchiladas I've ever had.

Years ago -- I think I was still in college -- I did a video of grandma showing me how to make them. I need to find that videotape!

Pictured here, perhaps the best way to have enchiladas... With over easy eggs. Awesome!

Back to work

Sadly, Adro's maternity leave ended on friday, her first day back is monday. She did tell me she's not that sad anymore after her holiday christmas party... That it was good to see her coworkers again and made her feel better about going back.

Evey, meanwhile, is thrilled to be going back to school. She misses her friends and her teachers. I know she is going to struggle with getting up early, she's been enjoying sleeping in to 830 everyday.

I'll wrap this up with a thank you to Adro for taking two months of leave off to watch the kids! thanks babe, it was a great two months!!!
