The Hess Family: I'm a Jersey girl... and check out my first steps!

Reverting to the old days :)

Harper tried to figure out how to step on the pedal and make noise, instead she just knocked it over.

She is such a cutie.

Wild men.

I wasn't about to attempt both of them in the pool.

"Come on Mommy, get in the pool with us."

Hula time! Thanks for the duds Aunt Betsy.

Steve, Ace, and Carney all in the massage chair.

Harper is trying to convince Carney to come play with her.

Ace is reading a book about the farm, telling me about Ding, poop, and tracs.

Carney just hangin on the floor without any entertainment... must be nice.

"Hey, Cousin Ace has a Hess truck... that's my name... "

He is quite a little drummer.

If asked nicely, Harper could ride on Ace's truck. He especially like it if he could pull her around the house. Check out the video.

Carney is the most relaxed baby I've ever seen. She smiles all the time.

Pizza time. Ace actually ate 3 hot dogs, 2 yogurts, 3 pancakes, 2 pieces of licorice, cookie dough, and half a can of Coke Zero the day the morning/afternoon I left (all before 3 pm). The Coke Zero was my fault, I left it on a table he could reach and before I knew it, he had downed half the can.

Carney is playing safe in her chair on the table - brother and cousin can't reach her very well there.

Harper loves her cousins.

Harper was "playing nice" so I decided to take a picture... "nice" quickly turned into "hey, what is an eye?" Poor little Carney, she takes a lot of beatings. I cut her finger while trimming her nails and Ace bit her head... all in one day!
