Where does time go??

2008-04-21T13:02:00.000-07:00

Hey Family!

Long time, no see! Okay, so where do I start? Mommy's been a slacker!! There is just no (and I mean no excuse for this!!) All jokes aside, Mom has been busy and really forgot all about our website, but here she is trying to redeem herself (once again!) Alot of these pictures go back as far as September when we went to Nanna & Poppa's house (and when I was just a baby) to the more recent pictures of my 1st birthday party!!!!!!! Oh yeah, I am the big 01! I would like to thank everyone who made my party a huge success, especially my Godmommy Carolyn! She is the best Nanna in Savannah anyone could ever ask for! Nanna T would be so proud of her! Jalen wants to send a shout out to everyone as well! He is at school and Mommy has to go and pick him up shortly! Enjoy these pictures and we look forward to seeing you all soon! Love you all!

Another big THANK YOU to

Mr. Matt & Mrs. Melissa and Dad's

Co-workers at McDevitt for

the cool balloons!

All smiles as I head home!

My last day at the hospital!!

Good morning all!!!

Okay, Okay!! I know it has been a while since Dominic and I have blogged, but Mom & Dad have been really (really) busy lately. A few people have called Mom and told her to put a little fire under her bottom. So here we are....... Thanks to all of you that kept me in your thoughts and prayers while I was in the hospital. I am doing much better now. All of us went to a family reunion in Mom's hometown of Elizabeth City, NC. I had a blast. I got to spend alot (and I mean alot) of time with my big cousins, Sean & Kevin and my Uncle D! They treat me just like I am their age (they are in high school) and I really appreciate it. Another big thanks to Grandma and Aunt Beck for letting me spend the night(s) at their house. Everyone got to meet Dom for the first time and he enjoyed them just as much as they did him. This was our first time going to a reunion and boy we had a blast. Normally, Mom would have taken a thousand pictures, but she actually wasn't feeling well the entire trip. Her sinuses were given her alot of trouble. She is actually feeling much better now. So sit back, relax and enjoy these pictures. Thanks to Mrs. Melissa, Mom is back at it again! OHHHHH, and before we forget: HAPPY 85TH BIRTHDAY TO GREAT GRANDMA!!

Love Ya Much!

Jay & Dom

One long day!

2007-08-11T05:52:00.000-07:00

Good Saturday Morning All,

Well, this week has been a long week for all of us! As many of you know, I was exposed to a kid that had Meningitis while I was at the YMCA in Pooler, GA. For those of you who don't know, Meningococcal Meningitis is an infection of the fluid of a person's spinal cord and the fluid that surrounds the brain. Bacterial meningitis can be quite severe and may result in brain damage, hearing loss, or learning disability. Well, as soon as I was exposed, I began to show the symptons immediately. I received numerous shots, IV's, and lots of antibiotics. I am still in the hospital right now under isolation, but I am in good spirits. Mom had her handy camera with her and wanted you to follow us on our journey. A special thanks to Mrs. Melissa and Mr. Matt and my friend Miles for the balloons, coloring book and crayons. That really made my day! Another big thanks to Daddy's friends and co-workers over at McDevitt Air for sending me some really cool balloons! Thanks to Ms. Veronica for taking care of Dom, while Mom and Dad were taking good care of me, we really appreciate her! Thanks to Ms. Jill, Ms. Suzanne, and Mrs. Lisa for calling Mom to check in! And last but not least, Thank You to everyone for their concern and prayers, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! The medicine seems to be doing its job and I hope to be home later next week!

Day 1: I just arrived at the hospital.

The nurses had to work right away, so they gave
me an IV with lots of medicine in it.

It hurt really bad, but as always,Dad was there to
comfort me.

Daddy does diaper "dooty" part 2!

Because Dom had been around me, he had to get shots

too, here he is getting a check up! He now weighs

13 lbs! He's a ham!

Here is one of my IV's.

Day 2: I am still very sore, but I am beginning

to come around.

Day 2

Day 3: Mom is determined to get pics in. I am

beginning to come around. Today I got another IV.

Nobody does it like Dad, he got me some

new Pokemon cards to speed up my recovery!

These are the balloons that Mr. Matt, Mrs. Melissa,

and my friend Miles sent to me!

Getting some rest!

The really cool coloring book from Mr. Matt,

Mrs. Melissa, and Miles!

More balloons!

And even more balloons!

I had a really cool hospital room that had an

Under the Sea theme! Check out the pictures below!

Thanks again everyone!

Love Jay & Dom

Good Morning All!

So Mom and Dad thought that with the summer heat in full effect, that it was time for me to enjoy my slip and slide and Dom to enjoy his pool (oh, yes Pool!) Here are a few pictures of us enjoying the festivities and some of us posing for pictures after church! Check out Dom's pool!

Say Hello to my Little Friend!

2007-08-06T07:28:00.000-07:00

Meet Jeremiah!

(Tonka Trucks, here we come!)

Good Monday Morning!

Congratulations are in order for Mr. Tim & Ms. Shelly! They just welcomed Jeremiah Timothy McNab aka: Junior into the world! He is my newest friend and someone that I can actually share my toys with, how exciting! He is brand spanking new right now, so I have to wait a while for us to get to know each other. In the next month or so, I've heard through the grapevine that he'll be joining me at Kidz-R-People-2!!!! Some people are in denial (Ms. V, aka: Grandma), but thats neither here nor there! He and Mom are doing great! Check out his picture! He is such a ham! (Mom's words, not mine!)

Talk soon!

Nap Time/ Chain Hang Low

2007-07-27T13:52:00.000-07:00

Dominic in time out...

Showing off his new

"Gold Chain"

Check out that

Chain Hanging Low!

This is supposed to be

punishment.......

But it doesn't look

like it matters to

Dom one way or

the other!

Hey Peeps,

Its a slow day on this Friday afternoon so Mom thought she would show off my newest accessory.........my gold chain. She always tells people about me going to time out, but its more about naptime for me. Have a good weekend!

Dom

Dominic just getting out of the
tub. He is starting to think

Mom is part of the Papparazzi!

Check out those fat legs!

Dom actually has enough

hair that it drips when he gets

out of the tub, so Mom thought

he needed a shower wrap with

his bath robe.

I know what you are thinking..........

Who's getting who asleep here? Dominic

is getting Daddy to sleep!

Boy, this getting Dad to sleep is

really starting to get to Dominic!

Dominic hamming it up for the

camera! That kid is something else!

These are our two family friends

Nya (w/blue on) and Cameron!

Good morning all,

It's been about 2 weeks since our last post. Mom has received numerous complaints from various individuals and we won't call any names (Ms. Adriane) about the fact that she hasn't had much activity. Dominic and I have really been on the move lately. As you know, it is summertime. Well, for those who don't know, Dad does Heating and Air so you can only imagine how busy he is right now. Mom does Realestate and works a 9 to 5 job, not to mention that they both take good care of us! No matter what though Mom never ceases to amaze me........that camera (and the USB cord to download pictures on the spot) never leaves her purse!!! Here are just a few shots of Dad getting Dominic to sleep (you be the judge) and some of Dominic getting out of the shower. Enjoy! I heard Mom and Dad discussing Splash in the Boro, so be prepared for some fun pictures soon!

Love Ya,

Jay and Dom

Your Flyness, Ms. V

2007-07-10T06:18:00.000-07:00

Beauty takes time: Meet Ms. V!

Nice picture, huh?

Go ahead, check out those curls! It's Ok!

Broken Promises!! This is my friend Diamond.

She promised us (Mom & I) yesterday at lunch that she would be working hard to get ready for the photo shoot and be ready by the end of the day. She was so busy getting ready that she fell asleep.

Good Morning All,

Boys and girls, the moment we have all been waiting for.......Are you ready? It is my pleasure to introduce to you, the CEO of Kidz R People 2, Ms. "V"eronica or "Your Flyness", call her whichever works for you. She just cracks me up! Check her out! She had to get the pose just right for our website. Since it took Ms. V a little while to prepare for her photo shoot, Mom wanted to everyone to see her "do"! Check out those curls!! Boy she is something else! She does a great job with me everyday, so I wanted her to have her own special post! Mom always says treat people the way you want to be treated. I am so glad that she was nice to Ms. V years ago! Who would've thought being nice to her would have afforded me this luxury?

Love Ya Ms. V!

Dom

Now this is what I call GOOD sleep!

Good Afternoon Everyone!!

Just as I had promised, I have pictures of my weekly hangout, the daycare center!! I had Mom to snap some shots for you all to see! Boy that Ms. "V"eronica or "Your Flyness" as I like to call her managed not to take a picture (first its the hair and then its the clothes) and the staff was not "photo" ready when Mom came to take the pictures, but not to worry, they are getting ready right now. I was not aware that Mom was coming at lunchtime, so I was taking a nap. Not many people believe Mom when she tells them that I sleep in a bed at daycare, so I figured that I needed proof! Check out some of the shots of my favorite weekly spot, the Kidz R People 2 Childcare Center. Come back tomorrow to check out Ms. V and the staff. You know how it goes - in order to be on our site, you have to get your clothes right!

Love ya,
Dom

Glamour Shots

2007-07-06T07:28:00.000-07:00

My first "big boy" picture by myself!! 2 mos., 6 days old in this picture! How many people can take a picture this cute after taking 3 shots in their thighs? Not Many!

Stunting like my Daddy! There goes Daddy again, you know he was determined to be in at least one picture!

Dominic has little patience for me being in his face, so this was a quick shot before he started to kick and scream!

Check out that stare, GQ Style!

I am so Fresh and So Clean that Mom put
me up here 4x's!!

Hey Family!

The day that we have all been waiting for (or at least Nanna!)

Mom and Dad took Dominic and I to have our pictures taken on June 24th. As you already know, we do things big in the Leary household, so we did GLAMOUR shots! That's right Glamour shots and thanks to Mrs. April, Mom is able to bring them via our website!!! Nanna T has forewarned Mom, that no matter what the Grandparents get their cut first, so that means Nanna & Poppa in TX, Nanna & Poppa in NC, and Great Grandma's! Next will be Aunts and Uncles (can't forget them!) and last but not least family and friends! We will be having copies made this weekend, so there will be plenty to go around! Just because we know you can hardly wait to view them, here they are!! Dad and Mom say that they are so proud of their handsome boys! We couldn't have thought of a better word than handsome ourselves! See you soon!

Love Ya,

Jay and Nic

like this at barely 3 months old!

Check out my bouncy seat (it vibrates

has a sun visor!)

Happy Belated 4th of July!!!

Oh my gosh!!! We really hope that everyone had a safe and fun July 4th, because we sure did!! For starters, we got up had breakfast,lounged around, and watched t.v. as Daddy was cutting and edging up the yard for the evening festivities and Mommy was cleaning the house! Boy, Mr. Otis, Mrs. Dannette, J.T., and J.Q. (they are identical twins) really know how to party like rockstars! We started the day off right by joining our friends for a "cook-in". We're smart.......it was entirely too hot for us to be outside, so Mrs. Dannette cooked the best food (NO HOTDOGS, HAMBURGERS, & CHIPS!) we had RIBS, MACARONI & CHEESE, BAKED BEANS, RED RICE and more!! Try the words SOUL FOOD!! We sat in their spacious den in the cool A/C and ate! Jay was able to eat up, but not to worry I had a cool bottle of White Grape Juice for snack! Next year this time, I'll be eating BBQ Ribs with that Grape Juice! Later in the evening we started the party again! Try 2 parties in one day!!! Dad went to South Carolina and picked up lots of fireworks for us kids, while Mr. Otis and Mrs. Dannette pulled out the charcoal grill (Front Yard Style) and BBQ'ed!!! We were able to watch the fireworks, eat, play, have music and plenty of friends right in our front yard until midnight!!! and Mom dressed Jay and I in red, white, and blue in observance of July 4th! We had the best time ever!! Especially for Nanna "T", Mom took pics of the house and the family mobile! I'm not quite sure what Mom and Dad have up their sleeves for us this weekend, but I know it will be fun! Check back on Monday because you'll get to meet Ms. "V"eronica! (she takes good care of me while Mom & Dad go to work) You'll also see my Daycare and meet my friends!

** Before we forget** we have to give a SHOUT OUT! to Mrs. April, she downloaded our Glamour Shots for mom to show to you all!! Thanks a bunch!

Love you,

Jay & Nic

Pictures to come!!

2007-07-05T10:59:00.000-07:00

Good afternoon!!

I don't know about you all , but we had a great 4th of July! Daddy went to South Carolina and brought us (and our friends) fireworks! Thanks to Mr. Otis and Mrs. Dannette, we had the grill going w/ hamburgers, hotdogs, steamed crabs, chips, sodas, and lots more! We had so much fun!! Unfortunately, Mom was not able to think on her feet this morning and forgot to bring her USB cord with her, so we can not download any pictures right now!! She did pick up our Glamour shots and she will be uploading those shortly!! Bear with us!!

Love,
Jay & Dominic

Who ever knew a fist could taste so good?

My tummy was giving me some trouble, bear with me.

Magically Deeelicious.

Mom was trying to braid my hair, but that wasn't working out.

Some people put their foot in their mouth, I prefer my fist.

Check out the Fro....

Hey Family,

Boy, when Mrs. Melissa told Mommy that this blogging thing was trial and error, she really meant it! Mom has come a long way and Mrs. Melissa would be so proud. When Ms. Candace and Ms. Anna said that blogging is addictive they were right. Mom takes her camera everywhere. Sometimes it can be annoying but we know she means well. Last night I wasn't feeling well, but Mom just had to take a few shots. Tomorrow, we will be going downtown to see the fireworks!! This is my first time going to see fireworks, but I have heard that they are really cool. Jay has seen alot of fireworks and even popped some with Dad. Check back after the 4th of July to catch more pictures.

Love,

Dominic & Jay

Good Monday Morning!

I think Mom has ALMOST, got this blogging thing downpacked! Dad just told us that Nanna and Poppa got to see our pictures! I am so glad they did, we have really grown up! Hopefully, we will be on our way to see our family in Texas soon, Mom and Dad are working it out as we speak. I have so much fun when I am down there with my cousins. Mom is creating Nanna an email address right now (please keep her in your prayers, Nanna is a hard one to teach!) This will make it easier for her to view our pictures as well. I had a great time at Kevin and Darianna's pool party! A big thanks to Mr. Darryl and Mrs. Melissa for inviting us. Mr. Darryl is the head cook. He cooked hamburgers, hotdogs, and even steamed crabs! I was able to show off some of my swimming skills at the party! Dad and Dominic took some pictures by the poolside as well. Mom tried to get Dad to take some pictures of her, but he was busy posing. She is very determined to be in the 4th of July pics! Talk soon!

Love,
Jay & Nic

Cheese for the camera

Good Friday Morning!

It's been a while and I figured it was about time for me to update you on whats going on with me and the family! So, my Mommy brought this new digital camera about 2 weeks ago. It has taken her 2 weeks to learn how to work it, but who am I to judge? Anyhoo, here are some pictures of Daddy, Big Brother Jay and myself! These pictures were taken on June 15 at home. Just so you know, I am not a little baby anymore! I have already taken my two month shots on June 21, taken glamour shots (which Jalen & I can't wait to show off!), and I weigh 10lbs., 14oz., and I am 23in. long!

My big brother Jay is a tremendous help with me! He really knows how to entertain!! He had to get a chickenpox shot and he didn't even cry! I am going to get to that point one day! He weighs 57lbs and is over 4 ft tall. He is like a giant!!! I am gearing up for the 4th of July! This will be my first time seeing the fireworks and I can't wait! Check back next week and see my new pictures! Love you all!

Jalen and Dominic

Dad, Jay, & Dominic

2007-06-29T07:17:00.000-07:00

Here are a few more pictures of Jay, Myself, and Dad from June 15th! Hope you enjoy!

Love,

P.S.

Mom is the photographer, just in case you are wondering where she is! She will be in the 4th of July pics, check back later!

IT'S ME WORLD!!!

2007-06-14T14:50:00.000-07:00

GREETINGS Family and Friends!
So the big day has finally arrived! Mommy just had me, April 18, 2007 @ 8:44 am at Memorial Health University Medical Center. I weighed in at 7lbs, 3oz and 20.5 inches! I was a little late showing up for the event, but GREATNESS takes time, just ask Mom! I have a few people that I would like to thank:

First, I would like to thank God for making all of this possible!

Next, I would like to thank Mom and Dad for my very being!

A big thanks to my big brother Jalen who entertained me for 9 months!

Thanks to everyone for their patience and especially my Nanna for making the trip for my arrival!

Last but not least Mrs. Melissa Frye for helping Mommy to create this blog of Jalen and I!

We will be updating the blog soon, so be sure to check us out!
