Funny Pictures

My generation will have their entire lives documented for them. My friends and I will have our lives lived through an open book of digital and social mediums. Never will we have to wonder about missing pictures. I will have my voice as a toddler on video. I will have the crazy things which I did as a baby easily brought out when I bring home my first girlfriend.
My parents, between the two of them, have a collective 20 pictures documenting their childhood, all on fading yellow photo paper, or Polaroid pics that didn't quite develop right (okay grandparents the number of pictures is probably more than that, but I needed the number 20 for effect, you can't deny the yellowing, underdeveloped prints) and I have over 5,000. Yes, 5,000 pictures and countless videos documenting my first four years.
Plus, I write this blog with my mommy's help so that when I'm 32 and have kids of my own, I will be able to look back and tell them what I was up to at their age.
My point to all this is our life is an open book, usually portrayed in the most positive and shiny light possible. Nobody wants to see pictures of babies crying or people not having fun, but when we look back we will only see the best moments of life, even when it takes 5 to 50 shots to make it appear that way, even when the memory isn't as positive as the photo that goes along with it. My case in point are the following photos. My mommy wanted a picture of all her boys at Easter, and it took three shots just to get one that is halfway decent. The halfway decent photo is then what is posted all over the web, portraying our fabulous Easter. The true picture of the moment, will be kept, but never spoken of, even though hilarious.
The true moment was one tired baby on the brink of screaming, one little boy wondering what damage he could cause with 'blue bunny", and one daddy who is just concerned about losing an eye.
Life is messy, life can be difficult, but thankfully we have mommies who only put the best photo forward for us to remember our life by.

The last month in a nut shell

Well, things have been crazy since the arrival of my baby brother, but things are getting better each day and I love, love, love that tiny nugget. I want to constantly touch him, talk to him, kiss him, and show him things from school. I don't enjoy it much when he cries, and he cries A LOT, but I'm learning lots of patience and have decided to stop hiding my the couch when Luke is having a moment.
I'm still enjoying school. I'm still playing soccer and still having lots of fun with my family. My daddy even took me to a monster truck race. It was interesting and loud. I'm all about Star Wars and have about 500 action figures who battle with Batman in the Bat Cave. I have a wild imagination.
My mommy has promised me that we will get back on track with my blog. I don't want you guys to miss anything, but for now, here are some photos from the last month.

Everyday becoming a bigger and bigger boy!

To my parents amazement, here is a list of activities that took place in our home this morning:

1. I got up, went potty, washed hands and then went back to bed for a few minutes.
2. Went to kitchen, turned on light, opened fridge, got out milk, grapes and mini-muffins for my breakfast (my mommy or daddy prepare something the night before to save time the next morning).
3. Without spilling delivered everything from #2 to the living room ottoman.
4. Picked up remote control for TV (Could not turn on TV...but my daddy later told me he would show me how, I love my morning Scooby Doo)
5. Put on sweat pants and shirt.
6. Brushed teeth
7. combed hair
8. put on socks, shoes and coat

I'm becoming quite the 'Mr. Independent' and with that, comes a big independent attitude and mouth that gets me into a lot of trouble, but my parents laid in bed and giggled this morning at all the sounds of me tinking around the house getting ready, all by myself, to start my day, like a big, big boy!!!
