Spicy Tradition.....

We have this tradition in our family.

 My Mom has a picture of my little brother Steven wearing this outfit 27 years ago. She has kept it all these years and when my sister Angel had the first living grandson, Scotty, we took a picture of him in it. Since then we have taken a picture of all 5 of my Mom's "boys" (grandson's) in it. 

My Salt and Pepper.....

 

Man how I love the spice in my life!

The ironic thing is that without even trying, I took both pictures while K and I were 3 weeks old. 

Our little bundle of Joy....

Love the Hair!!!

Ironic.....

You would think with a baby who spends 18 hours a day doing this I would be well caught up on my sleep... but alas...

 I have been this grateful to be sleep deprived only once before and I must say that little I is just as worth the lack of shut-eye as K was....

 I LOVE my BOYS!!!!! 

Even during the 1, 3, and 5 AM feedings.

Oh and FYI: Mr. I's skin is getting darker.... It will for about the next 6 months.... LOVE IT!!!!

K's 1st Fish

Here is a picture of K with his first fish. Yes, he reeled in this bad boy by himself. I am a proud father and glad that my boy will be a fisherman for life. He'll just have to learn to not be afraid to touch the fish after catching them. I also figured it was a little too early to teach him to gut them with a knife.

Video of K reeling in his 2nd fish. Sorry, missed the 1st fish due to too much excitement.


And here are fish numbers 3....4....5....6....7....8....9....10....11....12....13....14....15....16....17....

Man, K was pulling them in like crazy.

Just kidding, he didn't catch all of these. He did catch a few though and kept saying, "Dad, I want to catch another one."

I and K meet....

Even though Dave and I got to spend time with little I at the hospital, since it was an adoption we were not allowed to bring K to the hospital so he had to wait until I got to come home. The funniest part of the whole reunion was K yelling... "My Chocolate baby, My Chocolate Baby Brother Isaiah". He then proceeded to try to lick him.... we had to explain that he wasn't really "Chocolate" . I hope K wasn't to disappointed. You tell me... What do you think?
