Meet Lonny 3 Party

We decided to have a "Meet Lonny" party, and were joined my lots of friends and family for a nice bbq cook-out!


Alice gets ready with a little twist and some mix-matched shoes.

Yo Gabba Gabba art show

Jaime works for Puny Entertainment, and Puny animates a hit kids show for Nickelodeon called Yo Gabba Gabba. Puny also has a gallery called Pink Hobo, and their third show is the "Art of Yo Gabba Gabba."

Alice is a huge fan of the show so Grandma and I took her to check it out.


Alice was quick to find the original prop from her favorite episode. She LOVES the "Happy Ball Friends."



The sad thing is, we own about 90% of the toys they had on display.



Alice in front of some screenshots.



Pointing to some more show props.

Summer fun

Alice had been running back in forth in the living room, so I snapped an action shot. Gordon Ramsey doesn't seem to approve.



Alice gets some pool time.



Alice and Bella.



A bbq with Grandma. She came and helped out with the kids for two weeks. It was awesome! (Grandpa was there too for the second week!)

Dance party! If you want to have a dance party as fun as ours, just play the following song and let 'er rip!

4th of July

We came home from the hospital on the 4th of July...just in time to get some fireworks and celebrate!



Alice gets her camera ready so she doesn't miss any of the action.



Carrie and Alice.



An amazing display of firepower!



Two buddies chillaxin'.



Even Lonny came out to see what's up.

There's a New Boy in Town!

On June 30th, 2009 at 8:50 a.m., Lon Alan Jerome III was born.

He was 8 lbs, 1 oz and 20" long.


He entered the world screaming.



Meeting Mommy for the first time.



I think at this point he wasn't screaming, but his mouth was stuck that way. :)



Checking his vitals.



Proud big sister and auntie look on.



First bath.



Alice can't wait to hold him!



First nap!



Meeting Mommy again on better terms.




Alice finally gets to hold her baby brother.



And kiss him.



Alice even helped me hold him.



Swaddled up.



I think it was night 3 in the hospital that we decided to let Alice stay with us. Jaime says "Never again."




Alice goofing off with some doctor's gloves.



Lonny getting his picture professionally taken.



As long as it was all set up, I took a pic too.



Alice giving some love...



...and snapping a photo.


All in all, it was a different experience this time around (some for better and some for worse), and we're so glad to be home.

Tomorrow is the Big Day!!

Tomorrow is the day...Alice is super excited to meet her new baby brother! (and mommy is ready to be done being pregnant) Wish us all good luck!
