Fwiends

Proof is in the puddin, nerds. He got to be held all day. 

Beppy time, what what!

Guess who he didn't want to be held by? 

ME.

Rude.

Shark tank

Lonely Fisherman

One day we decided to venture to the city to visit Miss Hannah and Uncle John. Talk about a double wa-hammy because we also had the pleasure of running into two of Jude's favorite humans ever to live: Beppy and Ryan. (That's Bethany, OBVIOUSLY). 

Mr. Ryan was nice enough to invite errybody to the Shedd, and it was such a fun day. Props, Mr. Ryan.

Although I'm not sure if Jude was more excited about forcing Ryan to hold him all afternoon (proof of which you will see tomorrow, my loyal followers and bored ex-acquaintances) or the fish. 

Crab attack. 

Just a lonely fisherman. 

Ice Cream and Things

Skinny sweet: where you go to eat ice cream and keep your figure. 

Or for the boys...to hit on the older ladies.

Get it done boyz.

Two peas in a pod. PROPER FORM IS KEY. 

This is just about all Kohls is good for in my opinion. Yuck.

Have you ever been happier than the moment you saw this picture? 

Auntie LEEENSIE

CAN YOU SPOT HER? This is supposedly the "tween" section of our library. Hush! Adults and babies like it just the same. 

Although it is way way way more fun with auntie lindsay!

Chillin at a DOCTORS OFFICE...HEYO!

Best friends forever. 

Closeup. HEYO. 

We are family. I got all my apples and me. 

Playing...?

One of the many things that Marin taught Jude on our trip was how to jump. He took to it quickly and it (fortunately) remains his favorite activity. 

Yay for danger. 

Also, twins much? They planned it...

so, that's nerdy.

I think an important thing to notice is the facial expressions on each of the boys. I think it just shows they are both having a jolly old time. 

Finally a game that Marin has been wanting to play all week. Kick the weak. 

So fun. So...soo...sooo fun.

Man Up

Here's a little guy, a little car, and a little crack. You are all welcome. 

Listen up, bully. It's time to step down. Walk away, Mawin...walk away. 

Actually it was probably like: "hewwo fwiend, want to huggle?"

But either way, so masculine. 

Plus...a success. 

Dumpster Baby. 

Jude literally just saw that and said "That's Jude in a bucket."

Well said, my little friend...well said. 

Here is a game that Jude made up when Easten wasn't home. He threw away all of their wipes. I don't think we ever told her about it. Anyway, whatever. 

Now that Jude is old enough, I'll let him comment on the pictures too. He says "Easten's house." 

My little literary scholar already. 

Then I said, what do you think about this picture? 

"Jude." 

Welcome to the world, baby genius. 

Old Men

Jude arrived in California and promptly taught Marin his greatest skill: walking like an old man. 

For realz...that's what he is doing. 

This game ended with anger soon after this pic.

But that anger would never come from this little pea pod, am I right?? Look at that cutie. 

SO EXTREME.

What a beautiful smile. Guess who taught him?

I DARE YOU TO GUESS WHAT IS HAPPENING

Interrupting.

Jude knows manners, all right, and smooshing a young man who is just trying to enjoy his fruit is just in bad taste.

Marin thought it was so kind to help Jude avoid eating something so horrid as fruit. Plus, it was his chair anyway. 

Suspicious...reallly suspicious. 

Finally, a snack in peace. 

NOT.

Intensity

When we play football, we mean business. 

Even if we are just playing alone. 

Look at that face. 

AND THEN LOOK WHERE THE BALL IS.

Isn't that the sweetest (and most deceiving) picture you have ever seen?

Peachez.

Chillin

Just a couple of dudes JUST CHILLIN

Wait wait, stop. New idea. 

Kaboom. And so the little one sits on the bigger, younger, yet still petite one. 

Bros, chest a-bumpin. 

Okay, Marin now has the most hilarious idea. 

A second kaboom- one in the head with a water bottle. 

So fun.
