To My California and Nebraska Friends – Baby Birthday Pictures for You…

I know, I know, everyone has cute baby pictures all over the place; family photo albums, on the walls in your home, all over your facebook page, etc. etc. etc.  So, why I am doing this blogpost all about my babies?  Well, I lived in Omaha, Nebraska for about 6 years of my life.  And I lived in California for almost 8 years.  In that time, I formed great relationships with a number of people.  And on a weekly basis, I get messages from these friends saying things like; “keep those baby pictures coming!”  Or, “I miss the babies already, keep posting pictures of them so I can watch their development as they get older.”

So Cali and Nebraska friends, this is for you…

We celebrated their one year birthday party this past Sunday. Yeah, it was about 134 degrees out, but that didn’t stop us from having some fun!  In attendance was Capri and Daxton’s great grandmother, their grandparents, aunts, uncles, a BUNCH of cousins, and friends.

Shondra’s theme for the party was “Monkey See, Monkey Deux.” Deux as in two (in French).  They are twins.  Deux. Get it?  Oh, she’s a clever one, that Shondra!  In all seriousness the cake, and decorations, ‘n all that turned out great!

My contribution to these goodies?  Zero. Shondra and her mom get the credit.  Oh, and the lady that made the cake… nice work lady!

And, onto the babies…

Daxton had cake in his eyes and all over his head!  And Capri, although much more lady-like in her eating, still got pretty messy.  So Shondra and I ran them upstairs for a quick bath and change of clothes before present time.  Daxton and Capri had PLENTY of help from all the cousins!

If you’re not from California or Nebraska, you’re still welcome to take look at the pictures… even if you’re from Wyoming, Maine, or New Mexico.

I’ll be back later on for some more fitness and/or basketball related blogposts.  Talk to you then…
