Scicutella playdate

It's been so nice seeing so much of the Scicutella's lately, we need to keep up on this cause seeing the kids together is so damn cute! 
Jack was wondering why the F Ash was in him bouncer!  It's funny that once kids grow out of toys, they want to be in them so bad.
 Having so much fun and can you take the cheeks on Jack?!
 I seriously couldn't get enough of this kid.
 BITE BITE BITE
 LOVE these girls. 
 Could they be any cuter?  Love that Gia accessorizes every outfit these days with her bling!  My kinda girl!
 Silly faces with Uncle Ry.
 Drawing pretty pics.
And the little ones playing together too.
 Big hugs before we left.  LOVE these kids and love that they're growing up together.
Thanks for the fun visit.  Love you guys so much.

fun with Uncle Jimmy

We had a sleepover with Jimmy a few weeks ago (and again this weekend, good times).  The girls woke up and were more than excited to see him sleeping on the couch when they came downstairs.  Ash was having so much fun with him.
 Daddy joined in and spun Mya around.
 WEEEEEEEEEEE
 OMG that face!  LOVING this!
 This quickly turned into a dance party.
 lol
 MORE!
 Dancing with daddy now.
 love it.
 They had me cracking up.
Such good times.  I love that they love their family so much, and seriously, Ash says Jimmy so cute and SO clear!  Adorable!!! Love you Uncle Jimmy.

Grandma Bea...

We lost an amazing lady on November 1st.  Grandma Bea was loved by all and she loved everyone even more.  She was always such a joy to be around cause she was literally, one of the most positive and happy people I have ever met.  We will always remember your beautiful smile and your love of life. 
A picture from our wedding day.
We love you grandma Bea and know that you're living it up in heaven with your hubs!  xoxo always

Happy 2nd Birthday little Dugan

We celebrated my friend, Marybeth's son's 4th birthday on Nov 3rd.  She had his party at a bounce house, always a good time! 
Ry took Ash down the slide, she wasn't thrilled though.
 She preferred jumping in the Mickey Mouse house.
 Happy Birthday Michael!
 LOVE these kiddies.
 I can't remember the little girl's name to the left of Mya, but that's gia on the other side.  2 times in one week, LOVE it!
 Jack trying to crawl, which he is totally doing now, YAY JACK!
 The girls in the hurricane simulator.
 Happy Birthday Michael.  Thanks for letting us celebrate with you!  xoxo

iphone dump....holy crap, lots of pics!

So, I haven't done one of these in almost 2 months, YIKES!  And let me just say that I'm ALWAYS snapping pics with my phone, so be ready for picture OVERLOAD!
I took this pic and did a side by side of Mya and Ash at 15 months.  Crazy that I always think they look so different, but looking at these, they have so many similarities.  LOVE!
 A random weeknight picnic in the living room for dinner.  Girls night, cause daddy wouldn't have had this if he was home!
Tried on a cowboy hat at Nunu and PopPops one Wednesday night when we were over for dinner.  Was gonna use for halloween but Mya wanted "pink" 
 We've been doing lots of facetime with little Ava.  Can't wait to see her tomorrow!!
 LOL, at my parents on Thursday night, going through old Halloween masks.
 I just love her and she looks so old to me here :(
A random day that Ash wanted to wear a pair of big girl undies!   
A visit with JoJo

 And more after tubby lovin, I just can't take these girls.
 One morning at Titi's before I left. 
 Tony joined in on the photoshoot.
 This is where hamburger helper hands started Aunt Mary!! LOL, Love you Granny!
 One Saturday morning I ventured to Target alone with these girls, WTF was I thinking??
 Trying on cowboy hats for her costume.
 FOUND IT!
 We've been going to Johnson park to feed the animals alot.  We met up with the Leonhardts, Jojo and Alexis this Saturday morning.  FUN TIMES!
Leonhardt girlies.

Another day at the park, this time with daddy!

 Cheese ball
 Decided to get my a$$ on the pavement.
 I got back to this cuteness!  Love that little belly.
She woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed.
 sissy sissy love
 I can still remember this family Sunday so clearly, it was so nice and relaxing.  We had a great morning at the park, fun afternoon riding scooters and bikes outside too.
 And what better way to end it than to go to Thomas Sweets!  After Thomas Sweets we were going to head to the bookstore, it was closed but daddy chased the girls around outside for a bit, SO CUTE!  Then we went to see the choochoo trains go by.  SO SO FUN!  Nothing is better to me than family days, I love my fam.
 Paint time!
good idea Mya, lets paint our hands!  Big messes = lots of fun for them!
Uncle Frankie came over and Mya had a serious dress up/dance party!  I mean seriously, look at her expression!
 CHEESE!
 Yea whatever ma.
 A girls night with Reesie.  Always a good time.
 Ash has been really into clothes lately.  We'll be playing in their room and she'll bring me over a skirt or dress, or this time, Mya's Aurora night gown.  She wants me to put it on her IMMEDIATELY!  Like there's no time to even take off what she has on!  FUN!
 And this was Mya's stellar outfit of choice.  Yes, those would be leg warmers with flip flops. 
 I got her to change some of the outfit and we headed to play with Willie and Kylie.   Love these kiddos.
 Goodbye hugs.
I picked Mya up from school one day and checked her out in the 'spy room' to see what she was doing.  Playing with Summer in the cubbies.
 The newest Jets quarterback...maybe we'll start winning!
One random Thursday night at my parents house for dinner.  The girls cuddled with Uncle Pankie.
Mya, show me your muscles!
Thomas sweets!!!!
Mya lined up her dolls on her easel one day and asked to use my phone to take a pic, so this is courtesy of the bean.
We met Regs and John out for dinner one night, good times as usual.
My parents rode in a bike race (not really a race though) one Sunday morning.  We went to watch them take off.
Ash was too busy looking around to look and smile.
The bean was more than happy to pose with anyone on their bikes.
Making sure Dewey Pop's bike was all ready.
Ready to go!
Once again the bean jumps in!
And they're off!!!
We headed to Johnson Park to feed the animals after we wished them well on their ride.
These girls love feeding the animals.
We stopped at dunkin on the way home to get a Jets donut.  Gotta try and get some good luck in.
It was such a beautiful fall day so we played outside for a bit.  Mya hid in some leaves and we kicked the soccer ball around for a while.  I LOVE Fall!
Was in the city for work one day, was downtown, so had to stop into Dash to see if we'd bump into a Kardashian.  No such luck!
Mary sent me this pic of Ash one day, picking up Mya from school.  Ash was very excited to see her in the playground!
LOVE the bond they have.
Love their sissy bond too, so so sweet...sometimes!
Silly faces to send to daddy.
Daddy sent me this one!  Playing in Mya's sleeping bag one morning.
One Friday night in October my parents called to see what I was doing.  They were headed over to watch Highland Park play and wanted to see if I wanted to take the girls (Ry was working).  Sure, why not?! 
GO HP!
Mags and Jabril were there, so where did Mya sit?  Yup, with them. 
Time to get a snackie.
Ash just hung with the old folks, me included.
One day Mya called for me, Mommy, look what I drew.  I was pretty impressed! 
Matchy Matchy with my beanie beanie.
How can you even resist this smile?
Kisses for Jojo.
My matchy girls dancing, LOVE them!
I just can't even stand the cuteness of this one.  I literally want to eat her up!
And she just wants to eat the oreo daddy gave her, for breakfast!
A reading session after breakfast.  Laundry day for the girls bedroom. 
LOVE you.
The Thursday night of Hurricane Sandy week.  The Scicutella's were going to spend the night since they were still without power.  We went to my parents for dinner, as we always do.  As they were on their way down from Wayne, John called Regan (they took 2 cars) to tell her the power was back.  Since Regan was already so close, she came to my parents anyway.  It was so nice to see her and have the kids play too.  Mya and Gia play so cute together! 
Mya getting some lovin in with Jack.
Mya and G watching some TV.
This kid is too freaking cute!
They were all up in the TV, like they couldn't get any closer.
snuggles
Facetime with Ava, we LOVE this!
Saturday, Nov 3rd, we went out for Uncle Joe's bday.
Mary broke it down at Panico's.  Ry and I left there and I was hammered!  I took 2 shots before we left Panico's, I am NOT a person who takes shots, so needless to say, that's what took me to the next level.  On our way back to the car, we passed the Moon, our old stomping grounds.  I said to Ry, let's go there!  He said ok fine.  I ordered a lemon drop martini (PUKE).  When I got it Ry said I licked the sugar off the rim, took a sip, put it down and said, we gotta go, NOW!  LOL!  I was HURTING the next day, like bad.  Thank god Ry let me lay around and do nothing.  THANKS BABE!
We headed to the Olarra's for cake for his actual birthday.  The kids helped blow out the candles.
Mya and Thomas enjoying their cake.
One night I walked into Mya and Ashley's room, in a complete mess.  They pulled everything out of these baskets, that are normally under Ashley's crib.  They were sitting in them and Mya was reading Ash a book, SO DAMN CUTE!
Finishing off the juice.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Mya asked me to put my workout video on one afternoon.  She put her sneakers on and started working out. It was so funny.
Another night, another trip to Thomas sweets.  I think we're regulars.
We headed to the bookstore, which was open this time.
Reading some stories to her sissy.
Than watching the trains.  I LOVE these trips we take.
Mya PASSED OUT on the couch watching a movie that night. 
At my parents, Mya dressed up as Nonna!

Trying on the apron Aunt Anne sent to the girls for Holiday baking!! THANKS Aunt Anne!
Mya had a school book fair at the local Barnes and Noble.  They were doing temporary tattoos, Mya chose a glitter butterfly.
Ash loves to wear my heels, LOVE it!
After tubby photoshoot to send to daddy.
I love this natural smile!
Mya playing one morning building a bridge for her animals to take.
I see a pattern, this kid loves to empty ish out so she can sit in it!
and this kid likes to make funny faces.
CHEESE!
After bang thomas sweets trip.
LOVE you girlies!
Then we went to the grocery store.  Mya chose this cart.
Ashley is getting so big, she looked extra big this day.  And her hair is growing SO fast too!  I just can't take it!
Playing hide and seek with Mya, can you see her?
Eva diva came by one day.  Ash and her were playing the piano in the little toy room, it was so freaking cute.
Mya giving Ash a horsey ride!
Mya's Thanksgiving feast at school.

tubby time for the girls
At my parents last week we were looking through some throwbacks.
 This makes me lol, my Uncle Joey on the left, Aunt Mary in the middle, my dad on the right, giving his dad bunny ears! 
 My dad is in the middle (3rd in from the right) it's crazy how much Frank looks like him.
 Classy Liz, really classy!  Prego with Mya.
 Mya to Ash, Ash, let's go pick out what we're going to wear today!  OMG!
 All ready!
 Another day, another pair of leg warmers and her 'cozy' as she calls this thing. 
 Got to see little miss Ava! LOVE this little girl.
 Playing in the tennis courts in Mya's mini cooper.  These poor girls squish all up into her one seater, cracks me up though.
 I don't think they care! 
 Playing in the dollhouse with Ava.
 Guess who's baaaaaack?  Yup, Peanut Butter made his appearance and set up the pink mini Christmas tree that Alexis and Joey gave to the girls.  This will stay in our living room till we get the real deal next weekend.  Then it'll go up into their room!  YAY!  I LOVE the holiday season so much.
So much catching up to do.  Sorry for the enormous post.  Just had to catch up, I need to post my phone pics more often, huh?!
