2008 Hill Portrait Picture Gallery


Little Bubbers Gallery

3 years old
39 inches tall
Fall 2008

What a Sweet boy!!! He is our
All American Little guy!
We are so lucky to have him in our little family!

Little bubbers is definitely his own man. Being the third
child, he is a calm presence to our party of five. He is
content to play with cars and trucks all day! He brings his cup
to mom and dad whenever he wants "chocwate" milk, and he loves goldfish cwackers! He has become fiercly independent
of late. So independent that he will move his bicycle (that he learned to ride this year!) back out from the garage where mom put it away, just so he can put it away himself. He wants to do everything he can hmself-everything except going potty and eating. The boy lives off of carbohydrates! Anything with the word cracker or chocolate is within his realm of nutrition-but he has to be forced fed when it comes to real food (it's always fun in public to have to hold your kids down to feed them a piece of chicken! Poor Guy!)



At three years old-he is addicted to cars and trucks! Anything that makes an engine noise or looks like it might move is immediately picked up and driven somewhere (usually into the wall).

He loves his big brother and wants to do everything he does, so Mr. Man has a lot of company and a constant playmate.

When he's not playing Hot Wheels driver with his brother or the wall, he is doing puzzles, playing with action figures like Buzz Lightyear and Woody, or fixing his brothers transformers! His favorite accessory is Woody's hat and he makes sure Woody has it before we go anywhere! We get to spend a lot of time together as his siblings are both in school. It's wonderful to see him grow into the sweet, independent little boy he's becoming-but no matter how big he gets-he will always be my snuggler-my "little bubbers". (And he has the cutest voice ever!)

Some memorable quotes:
"No! I don't want to!"

"Ok, sure sure!"

"Mama-can I hab mowk?" (or "milk" in english)

"To finit and bwond!" (to "infinity and beyond" from Toy Story)

"I wuv woo Mama!"

"Can I hab chocwate?"

"I don't wan eat dat!"

"Can I dwive?" (When were getting ready to go on an errand, he just decided he was ready to take on the challenge of driving and asked the question so casually - it was hilarious!)

What I hope for him:
That he manintains his sweet boyish charm
That he grows up with a desire to go on a mission and be obedient
That he remains independant but still needs to talk to me about important stuff
That he is confident
That he smiles often
That he keeps making us laugh
That he keeps having fun
That he finds a talent that he's passionate about
That he's always friends with his brother and sister
That he is kept safe and watched over by his guardian angel always

You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes. ~Walter M. Schirra, Sr.

Isn't love great? Sometimes, at the end of the day, we just sit together and think,"We can't believe we have three kids!" Thank goodness for date nights!

Hills in the News

Well, so far the Hill Family has been keeping up with all of our friends and family through occasional phone calls-but no more! We hope that we can share updates about what is going on in our family regularly, with everyone who knows us through this blog! We hope all of you are doing well and we can't wait to hear from you too.
Since Mama Hill has a bad habit of carrying on long thoughts and conversations, you all may be very thankful for the e-version of communication, so feel free to keep us posted about what's happening in your end of the world (without me talking over you)!
Here's how the Hills roll:
Nana just finished Kindergarten, is reading up a storm and completed her first season ever of soccer!
Mr.Man has discovered how cool Jedi Knights and their blue and red light sabers are!
Little Bubbers has discovered how to defend himself, from his older brothers new interest in hitting him with the cool Jedi Knight light sabers!
Jeff is just working up a storm, occasionally fits in some golf and is constantly trying to figure out a way he can be a millionaire overnight, I am busy working with Moby Wrap, Inc. and recently had an article published at the following address: http://www.modernbabiesandchildren.com/maryland/info/our-stories/all-wrapped-up.htm
Aside from being able to add a little to the family income, I spend most of my days finding ways we can kick the soccer ball, play Star Wars, read books, eat, protect Little Bubbers and become millionaires-all at the same time!
We have had a wonderful couple of years here in our Nations Capitol and just to give you an idea of how much fun we've had in the House of Hill-here are are a couple of pictures we've taken over the last few months.
Until the next update- we hope you have a great time with your own family this summer and we can't wait to see your pictures and read your news too!
All the best-Carrie
