Happy Birthday Robert!

This cute little birthday boy is celebrating a big one today! 40!!

Man, 40 used to seem so old, right? While Robert may say he’s not what he used to be, I’d say he’s better than he’s ever been! This past year was full of fun for the best guy around…

bopping around

I love Mondays and Wednesdays because I get to do a little bopping around with the Bobbsey Twins! A little glimpse of our day on Wednesday…

Saying goodbye to brother in the morning…

Baby was looking super cute for school in my old dress.

It was a little short but I thought that made it even cuter!  After all, she’s got the legs for it! 🙂

I then loaded up my two little blondies and we took a quick early morning trip to Target!

Spencer was loving all the Halloween stuff!

Samantha did SO GREAT getting dropped off at school this week. There were no tears at all! Hooray! Going back to pick them up in the afternoon is still my favorite part of the week!

I sure do have fun with these two little buddies but we miss our biggest buddy all morning every day! 2:50 can never come soon enough!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

The Blues Brothers…and Sister

Along with the cute photos you saw yesterday, I also got several not so cute ones…but they did make me laugh!

Spencer was really happy for pictures…

I told Maxwell to “sit up straight” and got this, along with Spencer’s variety of faces…

This one is actually pretty cute, I just wish Maxwell was looking at the camera…

and then I got this which just cracks me up. I didn’t pose them like this, they just all stood there. I didn’t nail the exposure and it’s a little dark and fuzzy which is too bad because I kind of think it’s awesome!

Love this crazy crew!
