7.3.09 - Daddy's Birthday Breakfast

Today is a special day for my Daddy....It's his 32nd birthday!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

We met Grandmom and PopPop for breakfast.

They bought Daddy this cool Phillies stuff!

Since we go to this diner all the time, the people there know us pretty well.

The owner had a special piece of cake sent out as a special treat for Daddy!

I helped him blow out the candle!

I love Daddy and Mommy!

Thanks for breakfast Grandmom and PopPop!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!

7.1.09 - HAIRCUT!

We're getting our family pictures soon.

Mommy wanted me to look extra handsome for the pictures, so she took me for a haircut.

Lookin' good!

Hmmm....I think maybe my bangs need a trim.

All done!  Time to brush off any loose hairs!

Beach Day with the Stewarts - June 25, 2009

Today, Mommy, Daddy, and I headed down to Ocean City to visit with some of our

 favorite people....The Stewarts!

We headed straight to the beach....otherwise known as the biggest sandbox ever!!

Cole likes to play in the sand just like me!

My feet are getting so big...just like Daddy's!  Check out my cool tattoo.

Cole found a seashell in the shape of a "C"--Isn't that cool?

Digging big holes is so much fun!

Time for a Boogie Board Break.

After dinner, we headed to the boardwalk. 

I am fascinated by ferris wheels.  Isn't this one pretty?

Cole and I went on the race cars.  It was awesome!

Then we went on the hot air balloons.

Daulton joined in on the hot air balloon fun too!

We love the Stewarts!

June 9, 2009 - BABY SHOWER

Today was a very special day for my Mommy.

Her students and co-workers at school threw her a 

SURPRISE BABY SHOWER!

One of Mommy's students made this cool sign.

Another one of Mommy's students and her Mom made these cool lollipops.

Mommy said that the SNACK BUFFET was PERFECT!

Mommy had a little taste of everything.

Notice she put everything on a BLUE plate,

but then chose a PINK lollipop.  Hmmmm.....

Here's Mommy with her co-teacher, Lisa.

Mommy wanted all of her students to predict whether Baby Russell will be a

BOY or a GIRL.

Here's what she came up with.

Hmmm....looks like PINK is in the lead.

What do YOU think??

A Collection of Big D Moments - May and June 2009

Mommy and I were going through some pictures today.

We decided to present you with a smorgasbord of pictures from recent happenings.

Prepare yourself---you may begin to experience "CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!!"

This was taken after a trip to our brand new LOCAL Sonic!  Daddy shared his HUGE drink with me...and by "shared" I really meant "gave".  : )

This was taken at IKEA---one of our favorite stores.  Even though I didn't look very happy, I was actually just hammin' in up for the camera.  I was having a ball!!

Our pool is finally opened!!  Here's a pic of me and my kitty cat, Chic, during

 my first swim of the season.

This picture was taken shortly after I came in from swimming.  

Hmmm...I think I was tired.....

This was taken on Gloucester Township Day.  The rides weren't opened yet, so I had lots of time to play!!

Like my haircut??  : )

Here I am at Rita's Water Ice.

I told Mommy I didn't want anything, but as soon as I tasted what she got, 

I made her fork it over!

Here's me playing out back on Father's Day.  

I was keeping an eye on Daddy while he mowed the lawn.

Why Daddy was working on Father's Day I have NO idea..... 

I hope you enjoyed the update!!!  : )

20 week Ultra Sound Pictures - 5.13.09

Today, 5.13.09, we are 20 weeks away from meeting our newest family member.

Mommy and Daddy got to see my new brother or sister move around on a TV screen today!!

Since I couldn't be there, they brought home some pictures so I could catch a glimpse.

Check them out!!!

Here is the baby's profile.

Even though the baby looks kinda big, he or she only weighs 13 ounces so far.

This one shows the baby looking at me.  You can see the eye sockets and stuff.  

It's all a bit too scientific for my young mind to wrap itself around.

These 4D pictures are soooo cool!

Here's the baby sucking his/her thumb.

Mommy says that's something I never did.

Here's another profile picture.  You can see the baby's eyes, nose, lips, chin, chest, arm, and hand (which is in a fist).

We love Baby Russell #2!

So do you think this looks like a boy bump or a girl bump???

Leo, the ultra sound tech, said he knows, but we made him promise he wouldn't tell!

You can make your prediction on our BABY POOL.

Log onto

In the upper left hand corner, type in   RussellBaby2   for the game name.

Then follow the directions for making your guess.

We look forward to seeing your guesses!

Mommy loves her BABIES!!! : )

The Grand Opening of the Pool!! - 5.09

Today was an exciting day.

I got to help Daddy open our pool!

Mommy took this picture right after her and Daddy pulled the cover off.

After a closer look, I decided that there was quite a bit of work that needed to be done.

First, I inspected the cover to make sure it was cleaned off.

Next, it was time to check out the diving board stand.

Has anyone seen my saddle? : )

Hmmm....still dirty.....

Time to skim!

While I was busy helping Daddy with the pool, Mommy was inside making something special for me to reward me for all of my hard work.

COOKIES!!!!!

Still warm and gooey...just the way I like 'em!

Do you think Cookie Monster is jealous?
