The Carmina Whine

So my best brother in the whole wide world had his 18th birthday last week thursday.  I didn’t post the pictures that day because 1)I left the camera downstairs and was too lazy to get it. and 2)The pictures were disturbing!

And he thinks he can call himself a man now?!?!

And he kept it on through everything!

Yes, everything!

Glad he’s my dad problem!  At least until hockey starts!

JP had his last baseball game of 2010 and he hit the ball good!  It doesn’t hurt that silly bands were on the line…

His medal!

JP handing out and looking cool!

Poluski (sp??) Day Parade.  Where kids can collect more candy then on Halloween!

Wild Outfits!

Jonathan, is there something you’re trying to tell us?

The beach on a perfect day!

Big Smiles!

Buried Alive by himself?

Demo of the huge sand castle…

Just a boat ma’am, just a boat…

This picture is just plain wrong….  Poke your eyes out wrong!

JP getting swallowed by a huge wave!

Ryan Dancing away!

Snore-zilla?

So JP’s preschool had a field trip to Explore and More today and boy did he have fun!

Someone needs to tell them that the fish don’t drive the boat…

Do you think he can carry much more?

Dude, what’s up with the lizard?

Seems like 3 year between posts!  When my mom doesn’t yell at me nothing happens!

So the big news is that JP made a Fisher-Price Toy Box!  He didn’t fold the box, he’s on the Box!!  Not sitting on it either!  His face is on the box!  Not like that!  Nevermind…

Couple of months ago JP went for a photo shoot and eventually we saw that he made the web site for the “Coming Soon” for the toy.  Well, the toy, iXL, which is an Ipod for kids, has gotten nothing but great reviews.  I actually have a hard time finding a negative one.  This toy will be FP’s big push for this Christmas.  AND MY BOY IS ON THE BOX TWICE!  And the official website!

Official Box:

The 4th was fun.  And it allowed me to play with my camera:

And then my brother decided that now was a good time to get in touch with his feminine side…

Dance Party!

One word:Bedtime!

Ryan thinking that the house (or maybe me) looks better this way…

Last weekend was super busy!   My little and best brother (thankfully only) graduated High School on Saturday!  And his party was Sunday.  I’m still tired…

But I won’t miss this!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY JP!!!

So what did I miss?  JP Graduated from Preschool!  Ceremony and everything!

Then we had JP’s birthday party on Saturday!

Then Father’s Day…

What’s gonna make my mother cry this coming weekend…

And JP’s Birthday!  Doesn’t this face sum it all up?

So JP was in A LOT of pain Friday night complaining of his left ear and mouth hurting.  He was up most of the night because of it.  Kelly got him to the doc Saturday morning and they said it was a super bad ear infection.  So bad that during the visit the ear started bleeding!  So not only did they give us antibiotics they gave us Novocain for his ear!  He was slow the rest of Saturday, but by Sunday morning he was running at about 70%.  By Sunday night I think he was back up to 100%

JP proving that he is feeling better.  Ryan proving that ANY amount of sugar is TOO much!

So last weekend it was 60 and raining and today was almost 90!  May isn’t over yet, we still could get more snow…

I haven’t posted about Mothers Day yet!  I’m surprised I haven’t gotten yelled at for that one yet…

JP helped a lot with making Mommy Breakfast!  I was there to make sure 1)He didn’t hurt himself 2)Tell him what to do… 3)Make it edible!

JP Making the Pancake Batter!

Here he’s making scrambled eggs!

I thought for sure I’d get in trouble for that one but thankfully I didn’t.  The pile-on however I did hear about…

Mother’s Day dinner with my folks at Bravos!

T-ball finally started!  Last weekend was supposed to be JP’s first game but got rained, actually Winded out!  So we had fun today.  And all the kids ran the right way!  We were nervous that some kids might get all too excited and run to third instead of first!

JP holding on to his too big helmet!

JP running to third and some kid I don’t know taking a nap…

Time out!  Equipment troubles!

JP action shot.  He actually hit the ball!

Big smile running to third!

JP ready for anything…

He’s not sick.  Really…  He’s trying to dig a hole with his helmet.  He’s not on my team!

Can’t leave out Mr. Big cheeks himself!

I’d be awhile until the next post, here ya go!  Actually, I didn’t think that the pictures would be good enough so here’s more cute movies of my really cute kids!

JP and Ryan playing hide and seek (mostly)

Ryan doing tricks for chocolate!
