THE KIDDOS

Little Man is our first born and big brother! He enjoys doing arts and crafts, learning to cut with scissors and playing trains! He is shy when meeting strangers but a total sweetheart when you give him your undivided attention! He can already draw shapes and unique family portraits. He is only 3 years old and amazing trike rider!

Little Lady is, as she likes to call her self, the princess ballerina peacock of the family. She is a total ham when it comes to the camera and can easily introduce her entourage to a complete stranger. She is talkative bossy and a super sweet girl! She enjoys playing with her babies and looking at her self in the mirror. She is 2 years old and a fantastic singer!

Hi GUB Friends!
Just wanted to make it a point that most pictures on here are either taken by me or the Hubs, Black Camera Action. If I do post pictures that are not my own I always try and credit them. However, most clipart if not created by me is created by the wonderful Katrina over at Pugly Pixel. I'd greatly appreciate it if you didn't copy or repost them unless you ask me first. Thanks in advance!
