A happy thought

How can you not smile at a face like that? Seriously!

Videos for Grandma

In August I took two weeks to go to Colorado, Utah, and Idaho. It was busy trip! While there I visited friends, dropped Tressa off at the MTC, spoke at the Families supporting adoption conference, played with my nephew, Sold grandpa's toys (well....I tried), explored caves, discovered abandoned houses and mills in the forests of south eastern Idaho, discovered there were forests in south eastern Idaho, went to court with my old probation buddies, etc!! Then I came home and went straight to work and school. I feel like I haven't been able to catch my breath! There are so many people who I need to email, mail things too, and return messages for. If you are one of those people, I am SO sorry. I actually run down the list of what I need to send to whom every day, hopefully get one done, get stressed out, and do something else. Don't worry, it's coming! However, there was a request for me to post some of the pictures and videos I took of my MES. I took hundreds of pictures! Don't worry, I wont submit you to them. But here are just a few videos of the quality nephew time I got in.

This video cracks me up every time I watch it. It's one of those "you have to be there" type things but I am still posting it. Imagine me sitting at my sister's house on a Sunday afternoon. To me Sundays mean excitement. To me Sundays mean busy. To me Sundays never have a dull moment. To me Sundays mean the 6 boys family! At my sister's house Sundays are quiet. At my sister's house Sundays mean just Mark, Liz, and MES. I love them....but I was bored out of my mind. So this is how I got a little entertainment.

Then This next video was after my aunt and uncle had taken Tressa, Me, and Liz out to dinner. (They sure are good people). They had to make a quick stop before going home and the MES was a MESS! He was so tired and cranky we were doing anything we could to keep him from screaming. Finally we found something that worked! Peek-a-boo.

FINALLY!

Saturday was the day! I finally met my cute little nephew after five months. I pretty much adore him. My sister and her hubby are out here visiting for the next few days and because the babysitting fee would be ridiculous, they decided to bring the MES along. He took one look at me and started screaming bloody murder! Yeah, I think this is the start of something beautiful!

Last post for today

I thought for those of you who are interested but don't get to see many pictures of my cute little Nephew I would indulge you and post some for you.

Dear Sister who will go unnamed,

I know you know but here is a reminder. Now that you're a mom your main and first responsibility is to blog more and share pictures of the baby with family and friends alike.

Love,
Your son's favorite Aunt.

PS. I am just kidding of course.....But really.

I don't know what they are doing to this poor kid, but he looks like an elephant.....well kinda

He is for sure my nephew! Throwing gang signs already!

I think he looks like my sister.

If I hadn't bought that outfit for him I'd think Liz gave him hand me down maternity pants. (don't they look like it?)

What a cute kid!

When I was in FL he was the only one in their cute little family I bought a gift for. Ops. (I love you mark and liz!) It's a good possibility I am going to spoil this little boy....... A very good possibility.
