Videos of the cutest baby on earth

For those of you Harmony Joy fans out there...here are a few video's of her that I took during my weekend visit. She was such a good baby for Aunt Jaime, and only cried in the presence of mommy or daddy!

Here's a video of Mo Jo and her Kick, Kick Revolution toy...she's bound to either be a soccer player or a tap dancer! Just look at that concentraton!

Here is MoJo just being MoJo...proud that she's on her belly (and still kicking), then remembering she can actually hold herself up!

And for all of you who know the many faces of Mo Jo, and her love of her reflection (what a vain baby!)..here's a video of her laughing and playing...with her reflection and the camera!

ENJOY!

Extreme Home Makeover...sort of

This weekend was spent helping Becca & Denis rearrange their house for friends who are going to stay with them for awhile. It was an amazing gesture on their part, and between working full time, and church and everything else...and since I don't have much of a life, I volunteered to come over and help out.


We (in chronological order) in 7 hours:

Painted the office/Becca & Denis' new bedroom
Vacuumed the bedroom
Assembeled the bed frame
Brought the boxspring through the 2nd story window
Shoved the mattress up the stairs after folding it in half
Put the window and screen back in
Washed the sheets
Moved the dresser
Brought the chaise chair up the stairs
Rearranged the living room
Re-connected the TV/DVD/Cable

WHEW! The day went so fast, but everything looked SOOO good!
Here are a few pictures of the day... Becca told me for Christmas that she wanted me to come up for a weekend and help paint the kitchen and living room...so I got her a bunch of paint supplies including this pair of plastic overalls! it was WAY to hot to paint in it, but I made her put it on just for giggles!
Here's Becca in Daisy's ghetto hat, and.....no I didn't give her a shiner, but I was trying to get a picture of the paint on her eyelid...who does that!?!
I'm in the 2nd story window, trying to figure out how to get the boxspring up there without a rope!
Finally...some relaxing!
Thanks for all who helped out, and Bec..thanks for letting me help out!

Weekend in VA!


So I got to spend this weekend with my sister in Virginia, and it ended up being an extended weekend! I was supposed to come down in February, but certain family situations made me reschedule the trip. I thought I booked a flight for last friday at 9am...but i ACTUALLY booked it for 9pm...I"M SO STUPID! So between talking with my sister and figuring out flights and work and all that stuff I was able to fly into VA Wednesday night and have an extra day and a half!

So I got in Wednesday night, hung out and went to bed...pretty uneventful. Thursday I went into DC with my sister because she had to work a little bit..then saw some sights in DC, went to a greek deli, then came home to meet my sisters newly engaged roomate and went out to dinner.

Friday we slept in then went to Old Town where we got ice cream for lunch and did a little shopping. We just chilled out and got some pizza for dinner.. Saturday we babysat the 4 Fitzpatrick kids: Kate, John, Elizabeth and George for the day and evening, and we did have a great time, but BOY AM I TIRED! We played with chalk, jumproped, rode bikes, watched movies, played Guitar Hero and just had a blast. Here are some pictures of the chalk drawings!!


Sunday my sister and I were in much need of some R & R...and this is the main reason why i came down in the first place. My brother, his girlfriend and I got Katie a gift certificate to a spa for Christmas, and I diceded that it isn't fun to go to a spa by yourself, so i'd come down and we'd go together! We both got hot stone massages and facials! Such a great day...I could get used to this!







Monday is full of shopping, some PF Chang Lettuce Wraps and then back on the plane and back to snowy Buffalo. But it was a good few days and definitely a trip I'll do again...but next time with mama!

Mo's getting some face time


I spent the weekend with Rachel, Mike and Mo...and of course there were some photoshoots involved. Mike and Rach...you did good! You are both amazing parents and I had such a great time hanging out! Can't wait until next time when Mo is even bigger, smarter...and LOUDER!


As you can tell she loves her feet!!! I think this is why she's a little cross eyed!

AHHHHHHHHHHH my little #9! I love it!


Rachel had said that Harmony liked cantaloupe...and we had watermelon with lunch, so being the fun aunt i said..."why not!" She LOVED it...and she is even learning to hold a fork by herself!

How freakin cute is this picture!?!? Both Rach and Mo napped for over an hour without moving! Too cute not to take a picture!
YAY BABY! Love you all so much! Can't wait for a time when we all live next door to one another!
