Group Shots

We had a little fun this weekend, and I even managed to get a few pics of myself with the kids. Not that Joey wanted to smile for any of them. But I did get some keepers!

Remote-Control Trucks

Sunday was another gorgeous day. The boys were out playing again, this time with Joey's remote-controlled trucks.



Joey looked so serious. But he had a blast. Eventually we went out front -- it's much easier to drive the trucks on the sidewalk than the grass. He probably would have stayed out for hours, but it was still a little chilly. (But no, there are no pictures of the actual trucks. Maybe next time.)

Backyard Saturdays

The boys have been having a blast playing in the backyard since it's been warmer. They might still have to wear hats, but that isn't stopping them.

Head Shots

One more montage of pictures from Pennsylvania before I come back to the future.

Cupcakes.

Backyard Oasis. (Can't wait for the flowers to come in!)

Fierce. (Or Bibbity-bobbity-boo!)

Snuggle Time

Before we left, Pop-pop and Nana tried to get some last-minute snuggles in. One was slightly more successful than the other. I'll let you guess who that was.

Great-Nanas

We snuck back to Pennsylvania again for a quick visit with my family. For some reason, I never remember to take any pictures until the last day. That means I'm usually missing at least one of the cousins in the pictures I have. Fortunately, though, that included pictures with the Great-Nanas.

Someone of course didn't want to pose in this picture. I have one where he has a nice smile, but then it's blurry. You can't have everything.

Jacob didn't want to pose in this picture, so I had to jump in and hold him. I'm actually not too upset to be in this one. Again, would be better with my other niece, too, but I'll take what I can get. 

(Can someone remind me/remember to take pictures when all four of them are together, please?!?!)

The Ice Men

Saturday morning the boys and I went to visit their cousins Wolfie and Otto. We had some delicious donuts, and then the boys wanted to play outside. There was a giant block of snow and ice on the back patio, so of course we had fun breaking it apart and showing the ice onto the grass.

First up, one of our great helpers, Wolfie, with his blue shovel.

I made all the boys pose for a group pic, then it was back in the house to warm up a bit. (It was probably 40 outside, but after a while, even that's a little chilly.)

Otto wasn't really in a rush to head back inside, so I was able to snap this cute picture of his adorable smile.

After all that hard work, the boys were pooped, so we watched a movie. Any guesses? Cars. So I snapped a few more group shots while I had a captive audience.

As usual, the best one is also the one where my camera either decided to snap the picture too close to the flash going off, or the shutter stayed open too long I tried boosting the color, but it only does so much. I'm going to have to try to figure out another way to get iPhoto to fix these. Or maybe it's time for a better camera. Either way, the boys had a blast together, and can't wait to see their cousins again soon.
