Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to all! Just wanted to share a few pictures of the family... in no particular order (since I can't move the pictures around after I've just added them... Oh, well).

I noticed these cute leaves hanging from a really sad empty tree, in the shape of a heart and thought it was too cute not to take a picture of.
Tony: still SO BIG!
Tony: playing "Peek-a-boo!"
Me, Ben, and Jason: A.K.A. Mama Bear, Baby Bear, and Papa Bear!
The kids: Katya (Cat-Woman), Jack (Spider man), Kristen (Barbie), and Ben (Urlacher).

Jack, showing off their cute pumpkin.
Baby Bella: the cutest pink baby bunny rabbit ever!
Bella and Auntie Francie... isn't her smile just adorable???
Ben was going to be choo-bah-kah (a word I can't spell) but didn't like it, so I snapped a few pictures before talking him into being a Bear with me and Jason!
Me and Barbie, and yes, I still have that Barbie song stuck in my head!

Number 20!

My little sister, Natalie, is now known as "Prego". That is her new nickname for the next 7 months or so. This means that once she has "baby nay-nay" I will have 20 (TWENTY!) nieces and nephews!
This also officially means that I am the last of the family to get married, AND the last in the family to have kids! I guess the best is always last! Ha! Ha!

I am so happy for you, Natalie and Adam! I can't wait to see that baby! Oh, and don't feel shy about naming your baby after your favorite sister (don't worry, I won't tell the others)! And don't forget you're still my matron of honor, too, so don't forget about all the cool ideas you have for my wedding! And Nat, please continue to tell me how hungry you always are and all the food you are eating... as it is really fun to hear about, now that I'm on a diet! lol

Yay! I'm going to be an auntie! AGAIN!

More cute pictures of Tony and Bella!!!

It wasn't easy, but since they both decided to wake up from their naps at the same time, and early too, I figured I make them pay me back with some cute pictures! I had to redress Bella, because somehow, and I'm not sure how it happened, but somehow, her cream dress she was wearing earlier, got milk AND mashed bananas on it... I'm sure it will come out, but I saw this dress in her room, and thought it was too cute not to be on her!
I originally had them situated so that Tony had his arm around Bella, but it just didn't seem to work well, so Bella latched onto his arm, which turned out to be much cuter!

I even think they both had fun letting me take so many pictures of them!

They were acting so sweet, so I thought it might be cute, if I got Tony to kiss his baby sister! I'm not sure what my sister is teaching her children, but my idea of "kiss" is not quite Tony's idea of what it is! But it sure makes for an awesome picture, doesn't it??? And the look on Bella's face is absolutely priceless!

There was something about Tony's look when he woke up from his name... I just had to take his picture! And his hair was so adorable! I didn't want to touch it! It was the perfect "bed-head" hair-do!

He's so handsome!

By the way, I took all these pictures on Lori's camera, and that's why I have to blog about them immediately, before she puts them on her blog and/or facebook first! Ha-ha! And I also uploaded them on my walgreens site so I can have them printed too!

And does anyone question that I love being an Auntie?
