It looks like he's saying "No pictures please...I'm trying to have a meal"...
Like yeah...that's what I thought...I'm a rockstar who can hold my own bottle...
Sometimes you just need to wear a pink skirt with some frog boots...
...while splashing around in the water...
Spiderman sandals work too..
...and holding hands with your best buddy...
And sometimes life just looks a little better in muted colors...
Asher wasn't really into smiling in these pictures but look how much alike they look in that first picture...
I don't know why...but when I look at this picture, the song Beautiful Boy by John Lennon starts playing in my mind...beautiful, beautiful, beautiful...beautiful boy...
All I have to say is that we breed happy little people...and RJ...well, I think he might have the daddy thing down once his own little person decides to join the world (in the WAY future =)
Looks like Andrea has it down too...
You can't really tell by this picture but Adler is still working on those rock hard abs...you lay him down and he just holds his legs in the air without touching the floor...
Asher and his new favorite outfit...and Ayris just being goofy...dancing, what looks to be a little Irish jig...
Since when did I shrink like 2 feet? Has RJ always been this tall?
Those pictures were taken during our last "Goodbye Night"...RJ is currently in Oregon for Nationals and then he's heading to Houston. That sounds like craziness just writing that...I'm questioning when he grew up. Have I mentioned him as like a 3 year old sitting over the sink in his teenage mutant ninja turtle underwear and suspenders doing the dishes? I really need to find the picture...anyway, it kind of sucks seeing him all married and going off to pursue his future...because that means life is definitely trucking along. I can sit here in my own little world with three kids, not really aware of the fact that I have, in fact, grown up myself...but when I see that my "little brother" is now grown up, it's kind of hard not to notice the obvious...life is moving on...and at a faster pace than I would like...again, it's just my desire to have life follow more of a continuous circle versus the path that someday ends. I know I'm only 29...soon to be 30 but part of me feels like I have one foot in the grave...how in the world has 30 years passed me by? Like, wasn't I just in diapers? Or learning how to walk? Two blinks of an eye and my kids are going to be getting married and moving away (minus the moving away part because my children are all living close by...like probably in the same cul-de-sac right? At least that's how it plays out in my mind...my PLAN...the GRAND PLAN...where all my children live within walking distance and they all call me like twice a day...and come over for family dinners like once a week...I personally think that's a completely feasible plan...once I figure out how to be the mother to my children that makes them never want to be more than a few blocks away at a time =)
But back to RJ...who, by the way is a star...not only was he featured on the news: Gopher Decathlete Filling Many Different Shoes but he also had an article written about him in the paper: RJ IS A ROCKSTAR ...I'm sending him positive thoughts right now in Nationals and lots of prayers and love as he journeys on to Houston...he doesn't need them because I know he'll do great and be great...Here's to RJ and Andrea as they start their new life together...what a bright and beautiful future for the both of you!
