Boys' Toys

Andrew loves anything electronic or motorized. We've been through numerous sports cars over just the last 5 years we've been married. He calls them his 'toys' and it's definitely something I've had to get used to. He decided to add to his collection today with this:

It's a mini-chopper if you were wondering. It's tiny and anyone who drives it looks like a clown... including me! I hate to admit it but it's pretty fun. Yes, I even took a spin on it around the neighborhood. And since it's a Budweiser edition, Andrew said it could be worth some money someday considering the historical merger in STL this year. So, there you have it... another something on wheels that is totally unnecessary and guzzles expensive gasoline. I suppose there could be worse/more expensive things sitting in my garage. Besides, Andrew has allowed me to contact another interior designer to do some work on our built-in shelves in the living room so I've got a pretty positive attitude right now. I'm pretty sure he planned it that way.

Well, here are the pictures and videos of the girls as promised. You'll find the videos to be pretty humorous- the first is of Adelyn pouting before breaking out in a smile. Sorry about it being sideways. The second is of her hiding from me after stealing some chocolate brownie cookies. I haven't been able to capture Ella's 'ya ya' babbles on video yet but when I do, I'll be sure to post for you to view. I have, however, been able to capture her favorite hobby of thumb-sucking on camera. I would have to admit that as much as I hate that she does it, she looks pretty stinkin' cute doing it (see below). The other couple pics of Ella are of her sitting up all by herself like a big girl last week. The rest are pretty self-explanatory I guess. The little girl with Adelyn in the pool is a cutie that lives in our old neighborhood. Enjoy!
