Parks.

What? You bring that stupid camera to the park!? I'M GOING TO KILL YOU. 

I hate riding in the back. I think I'm going to be sick. 

Sometimes you just need a little independence. 

Um Mom, why is my eaw so cold?

Two Dudes

Bonk. Best fwiends fowever.

From now on, I want you to stay this far away from me, my water cup, all my books, anything I look at, and all of all of the stuffs. 

Then I will fly away!

Really though, this is how they fly. 

And for energy...an AVOCADO!

ohhhhh yeah. 

And finally, I just gotta snap a cool pic of myself real quick for my facebook page. 

I look so awesome. 

Big Boy

Sometimes Jude just looks like such a big boy nowadays. 

He even loves to read...even if it happens to sometimes be a wipes container. Oh well, he takes after me. 

He's telling you that there is a fish on that page. What can I say? We encourage imagination. 

THAT BOOK WAS AWESOME!

Smile, people. Life is good. Or...life is hard? It's hard to tell, but I think that life is good. 

Now he has 4 whole teeth! But in this pic he only had two. Who knew that just two teeth could be so handsome. Jealous? 

This is exactly why Jude doesn't get to watch TV. Space. Case. 

Who is wearing the Pants?

This is pretty accurate. It does take two babies and one adult to pull Briasson in the basket. He is a hefty tub of concrete lard, that one. 

Good evening kisses! What a special treat. 

Now, who wears the pants in this relationship? Does Uncle Robert want Marin to play with his phone? No. 

Buuuut......

Underage Drinking

Awight, Gooma, WHEWR IS THE BOOZE?!

Gooma might be strict about the "laws" and underage (or of-age) alcohol consumption, but when Goompa has his way, everybody gets a little taste of the flasky flasky. 

I believe the exact quote went a little something like "ahh, how delicious"

Chug! Chug! Chug! You might not think of chugging and flasks together, but these kids aren't lightweights. 

Gimme a sippy. 

Jude, after he got a little buzz on. 

WE ARE SO CRAZYYYYYY

Guys, guys, guys. This guy...he...is...the...GREATEST...EVER!!!!!!!!

GOOMPA!GOOMPA!GOOMPA!

Surgery

Jude recently had a little surgery, and YES he is wearing a hospital gown. So okay, I know he's cuter than anything you've ever seen. It's fine, I get it. 

AND YES. That's his pet zebra horse that he loves more than anything. Eat your heart out. 

EEE, I don't know about this surgery thing, people. 

Let's just go grab a snack instead...

Surprise, surprise, he was still sleeping when we let in. Typical Jude bug. 

Surgery is hard work. 

Try not to kiss those lips!

Yum Balloon.

This one time, John drew a face on a balloon with "permanent" marker. Permanent my bum. 

Ever heard of a mohawk? Well probably not because you aren't cool. Jude is. 

Nom, bread. Butt end. No nothing on it. Briasson would be jealous. 

Sometimes we are happy!

Sometimes we are...not.

Balloons...are the Greatest.

Guys, this is so sewious...I need to say something.

I wuv balloons. 

Listen, guys, listen. If you rub it on your head, I think something happens. Goompa always does it. I just don't know what is supposed to happen. 

Here is Jude looking at his favorite balloon mobile and pretending to blow up the balloons. Well, maybe not pretending. More like, requesting that we all blow them up for him. Or, okay...maybe demanding. 

I love balloons. 

I am not enthused. 

Balloons are not fun. 

But playing together sweetly is so fun!

Are we having fun yet, People?

When devastation and misery are everywhere, sometimes you just have to leave. 

Always a solution to misery? Apple cores and upward battles against slides. 

Can you tell he's having fun?

Back home, we were not having fun yet. 

This is technically a "fishbowl" effect. But really, can you tell? 

DEVASTATION AND MISERY WERE EVERYWHERE. 

So the question remains...are we having fun yet, people?
