Flashback Friday

This pic is from July 2007!!!  MacKenzie and her cousins (plus 1 friend)  have grown so much!!!

I took a pic of the girls on the 4th.  Those three girl cousins in the middle have now expanded to 5 less Cydney...we missed her this 4th of July!

I posted that last one on my photography blog too, for the Independence theme this week.  I love seeing them all together!  They get along so well and love spending time together.

Now head over to Jen's blog to see more flashbacks!

Toothless Wonder

This past Sunday, I got to watch my nieces and nephew for my sister while her and  my brother in law went to lunch for his birthday.

The kids had a great time together.  They are just so easy!!!  NiNa were sleep for the majority of the time, so it was nice to be able to kick back and relax and know that I was dealing with kids old enough to not get into much trouble...

Here is the youngest Rani.  She is currently sporting a toothless grin.  I'm not sure why but my oldest sister's kids and MacKenzie all started losing teeth really early...MacKenzie lost her first tooth at 4!

Hard to believe but Rani is 5 1/2 now.  Man...it doesn't seem right!  

We've been stuck inside for the last several days...so much snow.  I'll have to actually get out and take pics at some point.  I'm so over this weather though :) I've never seen this much snow in my life...

All Boy

This is my nephew.  He seriously has the most amazing chocolate brown skin.  He is ALL BOY...no questions, ifs, ands or buts about it...

He's all about football right now...but I'll always remember him as the first person to show me "the dougie" dance.  He was doing it before it was big and replicated by all the young stars.

It's been a year since I've seen him, and I really wanted him to still be 3...4 tops, but he insists that he is now 6.  Oh how time flies and though he's still quite young, I can already see that he is going to be a strong man in no time at all.

And a handsome one at that...

Again, tell me again why all of these kiddos have way better lashes than me?

here showing off his "mean face"...somehow still cute :)  Linking this one for Sweet Shot Tuesday :)  Click on the button below to see the other submissions!

Cousins

The girls got to hang out with their cousins this weekend.

Nia found a Valentines Day sucker, opened it and began to lick away...No, I didn't let her finish it. Yes, I swiftly grabbed my camera to capture the moment...my girls are a mess!

They watched a bit of T.V.   but mostly just hung out...
