Baby Joey's 2nd birthday party!

This past Sat. we finally had Joey's 2nd birthday party. With having two birthday's in December it ends up being a lot so we decided to split them up this year and have Joey's in Jan. We also shared the birthday party with Joey's girlfriend (hehe) Reece who is just 6 days younger than Joey. These two kids are so cute together. When I told Joey he would have his birthday party with Reece he just kept saying "I kiss Reece", it was too cute. Apparently Reece was saying the same thing "I kiss Joey"! We really need to keep our eyes on these two!!!
I took a ton of pictures at the party so I will do my best to post just a few of them.
Here is a picture of the birthday kids playing together. Amazingly I didn't get very many pictures of these two as I did the big kids, shame on mommy!

I have a bunch of pictures of Andrew on here but just because his facial expressions were cracking me up!

Here is Adriana going down one of the slides.

My niece, Angeline, going down the slide.

I didn't realize until now that I didn't get any pictures of Reece and her cake :( I bet her mommy got lots of pictures though! It was a great time and all the kids had a blast. Happy 2nd Birthday Joey! I hope you had a great birthday big boy!

Team pink!

My little brother and sister in law had their ultra sound today and it looks like I'm getting another niece! Way to go team pink! So now I'm tied up with 3 nephews and 3 nieces! I can't wait to meet the baby girl in June!

All boy!

So my little boy loves sports, not just any particular sport but ALL sports! I must say he is definitely all boy. So his latest sport he is trying is hockey. My nephew plays on the St. Peters team and of course has lots of gear to share with us. So my sister gave us all of his old gear for Andrew to try out since I don't have the money to spend on it. Well at the Rec Plex they won't let you play hockey until you're 5 years old so I told Andrew we would let him go to the open skate times and wear all his hockey gear to practice so he will be really good by the time he can play. He was very excited about this and couldn't wait to go skate. So I took the kids today since Adriana didn't have school and the kids were getting cabin fever.
So here is Andrew in all his gear at open skate. His helmet is still a little big so he has to lift his head up to see out but he was sooooo excited and actually skated the best he ever has!

End of 1st semester!

Adriana is at the end of her first semester in school and received her report card today. I'm happy to report that Adriana is a straight S student! OK so you don't really get grades in kindergarten.....you get s for satisfactory progress, e for emerging skills, or ni for needs improvement. Not to exciting but she does do everything she is supposed to at this age and is doing wonderful! We are very proud of her and hope she can continue doing as wonderful as she is in school!

My silly kids!

I have a rule in my house that we can not say the words stupid or hate. So Andrew and Adriana have started tattling on each other and will tell me that so and so said the s or h word. Well they know they will get in trouble if I hear them say it so now they walk around and say......you're the s word........no, you're the s word. Not sure I'm getting my point across to them. Then onto the word hate. I tell the kids they can only say the word hate if they are talking about the devil. So now Andrew walks around the house saying "I hate the devil, I hate the devil, I hate..hate...hate...hate the devil". As much as I like hearing that he hates the devil, I know he is only saying over and over so he can say the word hate. I think I am slowly loosing the battle!
