Drew's Bubbly 1st Birthday

As an Auntie, I try to keep my camera handy and ready for any potential photo ops.  My nephew  Drew B turned one a few weeks ago.  It was a special day for me, as it had been awhile since I'd seen my nephews.

My initial goal was to take tons of pictures of Drew & Tyler, but I quickly got sidetracked with taking pictures of men (including my husband) playing with bubbles.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the day.    

The best cake ever 

 Drew B was all smiles on his big day

 Everyone needs an Uncle Mike! 

He's tall, great with kids and quite the bubble man

You would have thought Nick and AJ were turning one.  

They couldn't get enough bubbles!

"Up, Up and Away,"  one of the biggest bubbles of the day

A Day at the Park

A few weeks ago I had a chance to hangout at the park with Tyler and Drew.  I'm not sure who had a better time, me or Tyler (it had been forever, since I had gone down a slide!)   Although Drew is too little to play on the monkey bars, it was precious to see Beth holding him with his sun hat!

The kids were in a heavy discussion, deciding which parent should push them.  Tyler told them Auntie Jenn could push them, no problem!

Holding on for dear life!

This cute girl saw me take Tylers SANDY picture and insisted I take her picture.  After I took her picture, she ran back to me and wanted me to re-play the picture, so she could see if it was a good picture or not! 

Mr. Drew, looking so cute in his overalls and sun hat.

Cool Shoes

Happy Friday!!! I had to share this great picture of my nephew Drew and his new Nike shoes!  Judging by the BIG smile on his face, he may never want to take them off!!

Dogs and Babies

Can you find the baby among all the plaid and hair?

If you found the baby and are wondering who it is; if the facial expression doesn't give it away, you probably know it's me.  My mom recently sent this to me after I was telling her how nervous I was about introducing  Stella to her new cousin Drew.  My mom suggested I keep Stella on a short leash and no matter what,  DO NOT  allow her to jump on Beth and the baby.

So glad to see my parents followed their own advise.  As the story goes, this picture was taken during my first meet and greet with my mom's beloved German Wire Hair, Saddle.  A kodak moment if I ever saw one.  I think this one in frame worthy...........

Meet Drew

I got the best treat this morning. I was able to meet my nephew Drew before going to NYC! Check out the beautiful baby and his mom and dad.  I love the picture of Tyler meeting his new brother for the first time.  I guess the introduction was a little tricky at first, but Tyler eventually warmed up and quickly asked why his belly button doesn't look like Drew's.
