Jack-a-baby knows how to pose for the camera! He’s showing off his uber cuteness, his new haircut and his sporty personality!

Sammy has a little friend named Molly who is five months younger than him and she is super cute! Big soft brown eyes and curly brown hair. I can see why Sammy fell into agreement when Molly decided they were going to get married. Molly came running up to me while at the park on a play date, and asked me if her and Sammy could get married. It was the cutest thing ever! So, I asked Sammy if he wanted to be Molly’s husband and he said, “Yeah. One time I rode in Connor’s car!” Connor being another friend of his. Molly said they had a baby daughter and it was her little stuffed Green M&M - but Molly called it her M-O-M. I asked Sam about the “daughter” and he said, “Yeah, we have a daughter. One time when we were here before I went out on the baseball field.” Then in the mist of playing Molly comes over to her mother and myself and tells her mother to close her ears because she needs to talk just to me. So I leaned in close and Molly whispers, “I want to get married today. After our play date. Can we?” I was trying so hard not to laugh that I couldn’t say anything. Her mother chimed in (thank goodness) with ideas of going to Vegas so Elvis could preform the ceremony. We were rolling with laughter! Poor little Molly was serious, so I told her sure they could get married after their play date. I checked with Sam who also seemed to be in agreement.

After playing a while Molly comes running over to her mother with Green saying, “Mommy, my daughter’s dirty!” Molly’s mom cleaned Green off and sent them back to play. We rolled with laughter after that too for a while. Molly started calling Sam “Husband” and every time Sam responded without thought to what she was calling him. After a while the park play yard became over run with teenagers so we decided to leave, but we were able to set the kids up for some shots before we left. Molly totally posed for the wedding pictures and Sammy wasn’t too bad about getting in the mood either! He was a great sport when I asked him to give Molly a kiss on the cheek, and complied. Molly reacted perfectly as she wiped the nasty kiss off and ran away…  These kids are so cute together! They play really well together - they just… click.

Sammy & Molly’s Photo Album - Wedding Day…

Molly’s mommy helping her get ready for the pictures. Molly was telling me not to take the picture because she wasn’t ready!

Holding hands… Baby Green smiled too!
Is that not the cutest?!

The grass was very entertaining!

Poor Molly and baby Green, Sammy is a goofy guy!

The happy couple with daughter Green.

Awww… the kiss.

The wipe off of boy germs…

And… it’s over.

My brother Paul lives over 400 miles away in Las Vegas so he’s not able to see his nephews every weekend, or visit regularly. We miss him a lot around here and hope that someday we live closer, but whatever the situation may be we will get together! He is not the most comfortable person around little kids, but he does an amazing job with them - if he knows it or not. It just seems like every time the Boyz see Unca Paul he is cooler than the last. He has pirate tattoos that Sammy really loves and believes his Unca is a cool pirate! We just took a short trip down to Vegas and Sam’s eyes almost burst out of his head when he got to play on Unca Paul’s motorcycle!

My brother is not a show off by any means, but he seems to have all the right things at all the right times for his nephew to enjoy. He let Sam climb all over his motorcycle and wear his helmet. Sam was in Unca heaven! When we had to separate, to go back to the hotel, Sam was so upset and didn’t want Unca Paul to leave. Paul told him about another helmet and goggles he had at home and that later when we visited him at home Sam could try those on… We didn’t stop hearing about the other helmet and goggles until we were at Paul’s house… two days later!

Paul was getting ready to leave for work and he had on nice pants. He put Sammy in all his equipment and let Sam climb all over his bike one more time. Then Sam requested to sit on the bike with Unca Paul - so of course my brother didn’t deny his request. Sammy inadvertently got dirty footprints all over Unca Paul’s thighs! Dang-it! I felt so bad - we had the wipies out and were trying to get the prints off… but we only smudged them around. Paul was cool about it and said he would get dirty at work anyhow. I still felt bad. He told Sammy he could keep his helmet and goggles the rest of the day and give them back to Aunt Angela later. Then he turned on his motorcycle and zoomed off down the street… An awesome exit!
