Happy Birthday, Dale!!!

Friday, July 8th is my nephew, Dale's, birthday. Happy Birthday, Dale!! Here is your acrostic.

D- Distant...He lives in Canada, so that's what comes to my mind. It was always my dream to live next door to Maria and have our kids grow up together. For that to happen, they have to move to the states. I keep hoping and praying. I doubt our husbands do though. :)
A- Athlete...Dale does many sports; hockey, soccer, swimming. He's good at all of them, but I don't know that he has a choice with the whole hockey thing. It might be his destiny. :)
L- Little...As in Little Dale. His dad is Dale too, so to distinguish, we call him little Dale. I don't know why we don't call him Dale Jr. He is a Jr. Maybe I'll ask Ri that next time I talk to her.
E- Energetic...Aren't all kids though...and especially boys? Little Dale can be calm and cool too. He's a good mix. Laid back when he needs to be and bringing on the energy when he needs too.

He's a great boy. He kind, loving, smart, funny, and such a gentleman. He says, "Pardon me?" with his Canadian accent and it sounds so cute! He's a year younger than Rory and their relationship is more of a sibling than that of a cousin. They love each other one minute and are at each others throats the next. It's funny to see.

Happy Birthday, Dale...from all of the Bucy's. We love you!

Happy Birthday, Logan!!!!!

It's Logan's birthday today, Wednesday July 6th. I'm blogging this late on the 5th, so I didn't want you to get confused. :) Here is Logan's acrostic.

L- LOVING...He's still a little boy, so I contribute that to some of it. He's snuggly, and huggly, and cheeky. We have this thing, since I can remember, where we rub our cheeks up and down one another's cheek. This usually takes place when he's sitting on my lap, or I'm holding him. Only Logan does it with me and only Logan ever has. I love it!
O- OVERLY SENSITIVE...What can you say? He lives in a house with 4 girls. Still...Logan has moments of extreme sensitivity and drama. He's certainly not afraid to whine and cry at the drop of a hat. He's not a fan of changes or new things, but he's loosening up a bit. Thank goodness!
G- GAMER...Logan is addicted to the Wii and DS and let's not get started on Papa's iPad. This does not make me happy but luckily we've got it to where he only plays a little with daddy when he gets off from work...or when I need to focus on something with just Rory and he's sick of playing with Marley. :) I think he likes it so much because Kevin likes it so much too, and he knows this, and he wants to be like his daddy. That's it in a nutshell really.
A- ACROBAT...This is a new one. Logan is constantly rolling and bending and contorting...all the time. When we were getting ready for bed one night, Kevin said he was in a full headstand on his bed when he fell off the bed and got hurt. It might be the weight ratio difference from his head and his body. :) He is constantly twisted into some sort of stance.
N- NOBLE...Logan is always making sure to look out for his sisters. He gets upset if Rory gets in trouble or Marley isn't holding his hand when crossing the street. Kevin and I are trying to instill in him that chivalry. He doesn't quite understand why his sisters all get the snack bag, drinks, or served before him, but he takes it most of the time. He's a great brother!

Happy Birthday, Logan! I love you!

Happy Birthday, Drake!!!

Today (4th of July) is my nephew, Drake's, birthday. He's Canadian, but he was born on the 4th of July, so it kind of balances him out. :) Drake turned one today, and I'm ashamed to say that we went to his birthday party (my sister and fam are in town for July from Canada) and I forgot my camera. I can only say that it's been a while since I blogged, so I'm rusty...AND I had my camera at Vacation Bible School all last week and forgot to put it back in my purse.

So I have no pics of one-year-old Drake, but I'm still going to blog for him. Since he's only one, I'm going to do another acrostic. (Thanks again, Beckie, for the idea!)

D- Darling...What one-year-old isn't, but this is my nephew, so he's extra darling.
R- Round and Round. This is in reference to how he spins in your arms while you're trying to hold him. Seriously, he is a wiggle worm. And he really does just go in circles.
A- Adorable...He's so cute! He smiles a lot and giggles. Maria says that he has this mad Scientist giggle and shake, but I haven't seen it yet.
K- Kissable Cheeks...They're so fluffy! (Name that movie)
E- What you say at the end of his name if you want to call him what everyone in his family calls him, Drak-Ey. I think maybe later he'll have a problem with this one, but for now, it's cute. :) When he's a hockey player later, I don't know that he'll want people calling him Drak-Ey. Maria calls him Drake-a-loo or something like that too.

By the way, I know you love the color scheme of this here blog. Happy Fourth to all and Happy Birthday to Drak-Ey!
