Jeffrey and Mary Beth hit the town

So this is Jeffrey's bethrothed (sp?), yes folks we have planned for his future

and found an appropriate bride. Not wanting Jeffrey to miss out on the fun we have made sure she is not only smart but she can also hold her liquor.

Miss Marybeth w/ Mama Carrie -ain't she a cutie

and really, this is one of Jeffers best play mates, 6 mo Jeffrey's senior, and daughter of our good friends Carrie and Mike. And like all good babies she loves the plastic, esp if mom and dad have been drinking out of it. So at the local Octoberfest she helped herself to mom's cup, and Carrie being a good mom made sure the beer was completly consumed before handing off the cup.

Umpa Um papa -he loved that acordian music (humm, something to worry about?)

My first Tattoo

For my 33rd birthday I got my first tattoo. I have always wanted a Tattoo but could never come up with something that I wanted with me for the rest of my life. The waves are to show Jeffrey's love for the water and The Monkey was put on because Allie and I have nicknamed him our little monkey. To be honest it did not hurt at all. It felt like some one was drawing on my arm with a fine point pen. I am already thinking about my next one...

How tall is Jeffrey?

So no photos to document this one, but had to share that Jeffers is even tall than we thought, at his 9 month check in, Jeffrey measured in at 1/2 mama's height, thats right- 31". Oh my goodness, he is going to pass me up by the 4th grade, good thing he is going to listen to everything we say and I am never going to have to disciplin him.
