Boydee recites the ABCs

Age 2.5!


Adrianne saw this happen the other day.

Boyd gets out of the bath.

Looks in the mirror.

Exclaims, "I'm cute!"

At Planet Comicon 2014

Had all four kids there... the first comic convention for everyone except Evey.

I gave Evey, Jett and Marina $20 each, with the one stipulation that they all had to spend it at the show. The three of them had a blast.. and Jett especially score some cool stuff!

Here are the four kids in the lobby, while we were waiting for Aunt Jessica to get inside after parking the car.

Easter brunch

I'm suffering thru what I hope is a 24-hour stomach flu. I think it was the guy with the floppy ears who gave it to me...

Five Boydee observations

1. Boydee gets tired, especially following long walks. This picture is evidence.

2. When Boydee gets real tired he turns into a tremendous as*hole, as he has a couple times the past few nights... especially on Tuesday. Terrible Twos on Tuesday. Not as cool as Taco Tuesday. Or tasty.

3. We put new glow-in-the-dark stars on Boyd's ceiling recently. He's really excited about this. And they glow really bright, too, since B.J. has good light in his room (unlike his sissy, who has a room that is lit like a vampire lives there, along with a chandelier that hangs about five feet from the floor.) So the second night he had them, we asked them if he was excited about his stars, and he was. "Yaaayyy, stars!" he said to us. Then Adrianne tucked him in, and closed his door partially shut. He laid there for about 10 minutes sing-songing, "Yaaaayyy! Stars! Yaaayyyy! Stars!"

4. A different night Boyd was tucked into bed, and Adrianne was paying bills in her office, with the door mostly shut. Then she heard, "Mom?" She looked to the door and there was his beedy eye looking in at her. "You're cute!" he said.

5. I was bragging at dinner tonight how I've cooked five meals in a row at the house, no eating out for dinner lately. The menu the last few days: chicken with rice and vegetables... taco tuesday... spaghetti... chicken stir-fry... and... what did I cook on Monday? Hmm... We're all pondering this... and Boydee goes, "beans and corn!" And he was right — Cajun red beans and rice, with corn and sausage. "You're right, son!" I was impressed.

Elvira's kids

Here's a pic of Boydee's daycare provider, Elvira, with a couple of the kids she's watching these days.

Elvira (pronounced el-VEE-ta) watched Evey for us too. She's Adrianne's 3rd or 4th cousin, or something. She's awesome!

Boydee and Dexter, Spidey twins

Boydee and Dexter (Brent and Rosalina's boy) were rocking the same Spidey T-shirts at Lupe's 60th bday party over the weekend.

Awkward!

Kidding, it was very cool. Good taste in superheroes, boys!

And I need a haircut and a shave!

Adro and Boydee

Fantastic Bub

Here is a fun photo of Boydee in his new pajamas... Adrianne and I realized it at the same time, that he looks like a member of the Fantastic Four. With his new buzz cut, I'm thinking he resembles Johnny Storm, AKA the Human Torch, pretty closely!

Velma's 93rd birthday party

Was a great time, and included lasagna, possum pie, Velma playing "Amazing Grace" on the piano, sidewalk chalk for the kids and I, and even some time in a tree swing for Evey

Happy birthday Velma!

Dinner at Anthony's

Adrianne had an after-work meeting at the bar (nice!) so I went and picked up both kids today. Not wanting to mess with dinner, I let Evey choose between McDonald's, Jin Shan buffet, or Anthony's in Eudora.

To my surprise, she chose Anthony's!

Boydee got a buzz!

I'll post better/more pics soon!
