What? Me? You're lip balm?

I have no idea WHAT you're talking about, Mom.

Forehead?  Huh?  Nope - nothing to see here.

Well helloooo handsome!

Why yes, I do see your cute outfit.

It also looks like you got a haircut!

Man.  Cheeks made for kissin.

Whoa!  Public nudity!

Times two!  Ahh - the last playdate.

We didn't tell them it was goodbye.  We just let them think they'd see each other again soon.  (Then I cried in the bathroom.  Moving is so hard.)

What are you blathering on about, Mom?

Yeah!  What is this "move" you speak of?

This picture makes me thrilled that I had her hair cut. (
Wait - you'll see it in the Sept. photos.)

Jaynie!  Just how many popsicles do you need in one day?

Oh come on, Mom!  It's July in Arkansas!

We couldn't move without one last trip to the zoo!

I think this was Jonas's first non-sleeping-in-the-stroller zoo trip.

Look! Monkeys!

Look! Fat baby!

In honor of it being our last time there...

I bent the rules...

and spent the extra $$$ so Madam could ride the camel.

She loved it.

So did I - it made for really cute pictures. =)

No trip is complete without feeding the sheep!

How cute is this kid?

Look at the little shoes!  The pigtails!

And, well, the shirt just says it all.

Adorable baby alert!

Yum.

Yippie-ki-yi-yay!

It's cowgirl Jayne!

Ride'em, cowgirl!

Jaynie roping a steer.

It's harder than it looks!

You gotta get this lasso thing juuuust right.

Look at that technique!

Observe the fierce concentration!

Jonas was too little to fit into any western wear.

But he enjoyed the show from the stroller.

Ah - it's tool time!

Yeah - I hear you need a carpenter?

What's Daddy laughing at?  (All these pics taken at the Children's Museum of Memphis.  If you are anywhere near it with a small child, I can't recommend it enough.)

Ok, picture of Jaynie sleeping in the dark...

one of Jonas too...  kinda dark for pics, huh?

Much better.

See - when you arrive at the hotel at like 1:30am...

... you can carry the sleeping kids to the room, throw them on the bed, then mock and photograph them with the lights on and they don't even twitch.  Aaah roadtrips.

We finally arrive in South Florida, and Mema and Pepa's house is first on our list!

Look at these handsome guys!

Everyone crowd in, now...

Look how pleased Jaynie looks to be in this picture.

That'll teach us to save the group shots for bedtime.

In case you were wondering what the view's like from the back row of an Escalade...

Here it is.

Cute baby chillin...

Toddler on important call...

You know, just cruisin.

These two absolutely crack each other up.

What can I say, Mom?  He's just sooooo funny!

Jaynie and PaGuy a bit more subdued.

No idea what was going on here.

Hmm.  Jonas may be onto something - you are a pretty funny guy!

Instead of smiling, Jonas shows his foot. (At least he's looking at me.  Earth to Jaynie!  Hellooo!)

Group shot just for you, Grams. =)

Holy spoiling!  Mom never lets me lick the spoon!

Maybe you head up to Orlando wtihout me, Mom.  I'll be just fine with Grandma.

Holy cannolli!  Is this a photo shoot for a swimsuit calendar or something?

There seems to be a little model in the backyard!

Check out this pose!  Sports Illustrated should be calling any moment!

Yeah - are we done yet?  Cause I kinda wanted to go swimming now.

Haha! Yeah!  Pool!

This rocks!

Seriously - are we done?  Is it time to play?

The bubbles made her a tad nervous...

but with the floaties on she basically just spun round in circles.

Which was fun for the grown-ups to watch, anyway. (Those ducks were in "time-out".  I don't know what they did, but they weren't allowed to go swimming the entire afternoon.  That'll teach 'em.)

Oh my! And who is this, working on his tan?

Hey!  Fella!  Did you see some "swimsuit optional" signage that I'm unaware of?

This is a family site, dude!  (Look at that butt!  Look at those thighs!  I could chomp the screen!)

All that swimming really wears you out.

She lay in between them, oinked, then declared that they were "the three little pigs". 

Ok, so we need two eggs...

Hey Mom! I'm helping!

Ok, that's enough Grandma!

It's time for those eggs, now!

You preheat the oven, I'll take care of them!

Ohhh, seperating them, huh.  Yeah - you'd better handle that part, I'll be in charge of stirring instead.

(I think she's double-checking the recipe here - just to make sure Mom didn't forget any nice, messy ingredients.)

Jaynie's so important, she has people who slip and slide FOR her.  

Seriously - anybody who's anybody has someone to do that for them!

You expect me to run and jump?  By myself?  

But that would be exhausting!  Where would I find the energy to follow you around asking "Why? Why? Why?" after playing that hard!?!

This kid is a ham, and Mema knows it. 

This is Jonas, yelling for more food.

What?  It's watermelon!  It's good and I want some more!

Yeah - it's not that his mouth is open for another bite - it's open so he can screech at Joe to hurry up.

Joe tries (in vain - he was only like 7 months old for crying out loud) to get him to sign for "more", instead of bellowing.

Yeah yeah yeah.  Your hands could be put to better use FEEDING ME!  (Notice the juicy chest and belly.  That was one sticky baby.)

At the waterpark!

Look how delighted she is.  We had such a blast that day.

I have never applied so much sunblock in one day as I did to this pale, pale child.

This tan Twinkie gets her skin from her Dad.  Must be nice.

What better way to cap a day of swimming and water slides - mini golf!

Minnie golf?

Whoa!  What you guys looking at?

I love you, Minnie!  Let's dance!

Nobody can resist this baby - even covered in food.

Bubble head!

Jaynie loooved taking baths in "Aunty Suz's HUGE tub!  It's like a pool, Mommy!"

Aunty Suz decided that 23 was too old to wear a Blue's Clues hoodie anymore - so generously gifted it to the Twink.  She loves it and wears it often.  Thanks, Aunty Suz!

What cho lookin at?

Yeah, I'm naked -so?

Heck yeah naked in the living room!

Is there any other way to play?

NAKED!

HAHAHAHAAA!

I LOVE IT!

Ok - I'm tired of captioning in caps.

I don't know why he was so excited.

But it sure was cute. =)

A boy and his Grandma.

A boy and his Grandpa Vic.  (Probably contemplating which chest hairs to pull.)

What?  Who?  Me?  I'm just holding my feet here!

Cereal face.

Messy food baby - I love it.

Great Grams and Jonas. (Notice how she's holding his feet - the feet are irresistible.)

Poppy's turn with the muffin.

Someone should really warn him about Jonas's love of chest hair...

Again with the cracking up!

They really find each other amusing.

So now that I'm doing captions...

I notice that these three are basically the same photo...

no idea how that got past my selection process.  That's what happens when you have 7 months to do - things get sloppy.   (This is the cutest one.)

Look at those ears!

Mooooom!  Enough about the ears!

Yeah - so Jaynie found one of my Mom's bras...

took off her shirt...

and insisted we help her put it on.

Then put her shirt back on...

and walked around showing us her "boobies" for a half an hour.  I call this set "future blackmail photos".

He wants the rocket-pop.

Jaynie has one, and therefore he must have one too.

But it's so COLD!

Ok - I'm ok - give me more.

I'M NOT OK!  THAT THING IS FREAKING COLD!
