A three part video series (heh) from Jordan's and Abuela's birthday bbq. This is the first posting on the Mick Chronicles to NOT feature Mick!! Sorry Mick fans...he'll be back in the next post, I promise! In the meantime...sit back, relax and enjoy my funny family! :)

Happy Birthday Uncle Jordan!

Filet Mignon For Breakfast

I have pictures to post from recent Mick activities, but I just wanted to share a little gem from last week.
Here's how a conversation (?) between Mick and I went one morning...

Me: "Mick, what do you want for breakfast?"
Mick: silence
Me: "Mick, do you wannnnnt waffles?"
Mick: "nnnnnope!"
("nope?" okee dokee)
Me: "Do you wannnnnt a bagel?"
Mick: "nnnnope!"
Me: "Do you wannnnt eggies?"
Mick: "nnnnope!"
Me: "Do you want cereal?"
Mick: "nnnnope!"
Me: "Um....do you wannnnnnnnnnnt filet mignon?!"
Mick: ponders for a moment and then, "OKAAAAAAY!!!"

Hmm... Mick has never had filet mignon and I'm pretty sure he'd never heard those words either.

Me: "Really? Well, we don't have filet mignon, so let's pick something else."
Mick: "Noooooo! I want min-yone! I WANT MIN-YONE!!!!!"

oops.

Like most toddlers he got distracted and asked me for eggs shortly thereafter. phew!

Follow-up "Spinach" Videos

Here are the latest in the Mick-Spinach video series. At the end of the first one you can hear me say, "please chew." heh. The continuation is documented in the 2nd video. :)

Snap Shots--April '09

Ok...I just haven't been feeling inspiried lately...my apologies!! Actually, our computer is just so slow these days that I avoid time consuming stuff, like uploading photos. blahblahblah. OK...here are some snap shots from April 2009.

Mick in the tub. Mommy likes to play with his hair. heh heh.

Elijah, Hannah and Sadie are home! They LIVE in NJ again! WOO HOO!

Lij and Mick are buds.

Sadie and Hannah dancing to music at the Thomas Live show.

Grandpa tickling the Mickster at intermission of said show.

Here's a pic from the end of March. We met cousins Matt and Wendi in Princeton for lunch. So great to see them and to see Princeton too! :)

Mick ran around this grassy area hanging on to his Thomas VHS cover for dear life! He fell in the mud and so did that cover. A fellow toddler picked it up for him and got some ice cream on it. Great. Where is that tape cover? It's got mud and ice cream on it and it's mysteriously missing. hmm. Pappa?
Random shot...dancing in the living room...

"Grapes" or "Berries"

Call them what you wish. That's Mick's way. He repeats me when I say, "berries," but goes right back to calling them grapes! (btw...this was shot a few weeks ago when Mick and I had colds...no worries, Abuela!)

Jacksonville

Mick and I spent an extra long weekend at Aunt Pammy's house. Aunt KarOn and Celia flew down too and we had soooooOooOOooooo much fun! If Mick was fluent in English (heh) he would tell you that the highlight of his weekend was Jake, the dog. Jake's kinda up in years and he was definitely worn out from Mick. He was also happy to have a little pal to play with. I'll admit that Jake looks better in these next two pics, but I just had to post them both because...well, because they're sweet!

Mick and Celia trying to jump rope!

Making hamantashen...they turned out great!

Mick got himself involved in the whole process!

We hit the beach two days in a row. The weather was beautiful and everyone was happy happy happy (some of us, present company sorta excluded, got burned burned burned too!).

The following pictures I've decided to call "The Mick/Celia Chronicles." These may be used again when they get married. HA! Just kidding?
