nights like this....

are the best. hands down.

dylan showin' off his smooth moves.
...eventually we too shall join the trend and own a trampoline.

mostly because chad wants to show off his mad skills.

{& prove he's not getting old}

...really ethan loves this. he's a crazy child, just like his daddy.

oh. the hubster. he is so much fun. the kids dig it, just as much as i do watching.

lovin' on mr. aiden... he was our little heater.

we all got together for this guy seen above. it was his birthday! {well last thurs, but christy was out of town} so we celebrated sunday evening... with food galore! steaks .n. burgers, corn on the cob, baked patatoes & baked beans. wow. and if thats not enough... 2 pies. since i couldnt seem to make up my mind as to which looked the very best. joe also made homemade banana pudding. so yummy. and i'm so happy he gave us a reason to celebrate. i love that he is part of my family....and that he makes my sister happy.

And on an unrelated note:

...chub-a-dub-dub little aiden in the tub

the boys....and a few of their goodies from grandma & g-daddy!

they are having sooooo much fun with the dolphin whistles.... and ethan's drum. my parents, aunt & my sweet gram went on a cruise to the mexican riviera. where they swam with dolphins & rode horses along the beach.... things i'll just dream about for now.

I may or may not be a little jealous.
