Sunday Family Dinner

So our Sunday dinners have become alittle crazy at my Mom's house. In the past 10 months my parents have gained two Grandkids and two surrogate grandkids (Cat's children). So our Sunday dinners have gone from my parents, godfather, my brother, and greg and I to the afroementioned group plus an infant, 2 toddlers, and a 6 year old and Cat(my brother's girlfriend, for those that don't know). It's a mad house, but a joyous and thankful mad house to be surround by this much family each week. Here is the picture proof (and last night wasn't as messy as most)....

Toby made his own play area behind the fireplace screen

Aunt T, look at Toby. I don't think Santa will like him messing with the fireplace!


The "special ops team" on their mission to get ice. They had pushed that chair into the kitchen from the dining room. Nate had also pushed the stools to the counter to try to get to the food. They are hysterical together!


Oh Damn Nate, they caught us. Toby if you don't look at them they'll go away. It's too late Nate, they caught us on camera.

Some Toby Cuteness Coming At Cha'

I took this three weeks ago at Christmas in the Woods. They had B.E. Taylor (a very popular local musican) performing. Toby loves to "play" guitar with anything available. He entertained a group of people behind us with his antics. He also loved going closer to get a better look at the awesome guitar player in the band. Bare with the video, it's short and cute....you'll see what I mean.

IT'S A WIGGLY PARTY!

We had a terrific time tonight at the Wiggles Concert. We took Toby as an early 2nd birthday present. He had no clue what we were up to until we approached the merchandise area and he spotted his beloved Wiggles stuff. We went crazy! All he could say was Widdles (his version of wiggles) widdles, widdles. He kept making wiggly fingers and repeating widdles over and over. When asked what shirt he would like, he responded widdles. When asked what else he wanted all he could say was widdles. It was hysterical! I wish I had video of it cause it was too cute! Once the concert started he was mesmerized. He couldn't take his eyes off of them but he was too baffled by the fact they were right there to actually participate. All and all it was a great time. Here are just a few of the pictures... we took 79! An insane amount I know but it was his first concert. Most of them are of the concert itself. So here are the ones I chose to bless you with...LOL...

Hey mommy, I was reading this book and it says that the Six Flags in Chicago and New Jersey have Wiggly Play areas, hum.....


How many toys/items can one boy have in his car seat?

Answer at least 6, see if you can name them.


This photo is not staged. He wanted not only bear, but also his red guitar to sleep with. Too cute!
