Another birthday...

This is a busy time of year for our family & birthdays. Last week was also Pawpaw (Jacob's dads) birthday. I didn't mean to leave his off of here, we just haven't gotten together yet to celebrate it. We need to do that soon. Anyway, we love you Pawpaw & hope you had a nice day.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is my moms birthday! Have a great day Mom! We love you!!!

Birthday Fun

We had a great time celebrating sweet Sarah's 1st birthday. We had a small family party this evening. I'm so thankful that our family lives near us so we can celebrate special days together. We had snacks & cupcakes and played Birthday BINGO (again!). Sarah got some fun new toys and lots of cute clothes. It still doesn't seem like it's been a whole year since she was born!

Today's the day!

Well my baby girl is 1 today! I'm happy and excited but at the same time sad that her baby days have flown by so quickly. She is such a sweet, happy girl! We've had a great day celebrating Sarah! Jacob was home this morning, so she started her day with her daddy & a few presents from us. Then our playgroup friends came over for a very pink playdate. She's had fun getting some very girly new toys and clothes! The fun will continue with a small family party this weekend. Happy Birthday Sarah!

Birthday weekend

We had a good weekend. Saturday was my birthday. My mom took me out for lunch & a pedicure. When I got home, Jacob and the kids gave me some gifts and a cookie cake. In the evening we went outside and watched fireworks from our driveway. We stayed up late watching Lost, you know we are obsessed with that show.

Today after church, we went to my parents house for a BBQ. We met Jenn's new boyfriend Cody. He was really nice. We ate lunch, I got more gifts!, and we had a yummy oreo ice cream dessert. It was a fun day & a nice weekend!

Happy Birthday Papa!

This weekend we celebrated my dad's birthday & Father's day with him (he was out of town last weekend). For one of his gifts, we got tickets for the whole family to go to a Ranger's game. Adam, Sam, and Papa all got matching hats for the game. He also got some fishing gear so he can take the kids fishing! As for party entertainment, Papa took the boys on a ride on the "tractor" (some would call it a lawn mower but not our 3 and 4 year old boys!) He's such a fun grandpa to my kids!

Party Time!

We had a fun time celebrating our birthday boy. He had a "zoo animals" party at the park. Aunt Jenny & Grandma made the cutest cake ever. The kids had a great time playing on the playground. Adam got lots of fun gifts- animals, puzzles, golf clubs, and a real fishing pole! It was a great time and we were reminded once again, of how blessed we are to have such awesome friends and family who love us and our kiddos! We missed ya'll who couldn't be there!

Birthday Boy!

Happy Birthday Adam! Today my little guy turned 3!!!

His birthday didn't get off to a great start though, he woke up in the night sick. :( He felt a little better this morning, but was sleepy and didn't feel like doing too much.

It turned out to be a good day though. At first he was dissapointed that it wasn't his party day today, so I told him we could have a party at home. He asked if it could be a pajama party, so being the nice mom that I am, I agreed that we could stay in our pj's all day, you know, for Adam. Leave it to our awesome Grandma to show up at the pj party with donuts and a present!

Sarah enjoyed the pj party too.

When Jacob got home we had cookie cake and Adam got more presents. He is having lots of fun with his big animal treehouse.

Happy Birthday!

My Funny Almost Birthday Boy

I just have to share a few funny things Adam has been saying lately...
1. Becky called the other day and he had to answer the phone & talk to her first. She asked him what he had been doing, he named several things, then said, "just hanging out". :)
2. He keeps telling me Happy Father's Day...They are working on some secret projects at school, but I think he's a little confused.
3. He also told me that I am the best mommy ever, in the whole wide world.
4. When his Daddy grows up, he's going to be Batman.
5. He is having a birthday tomorrow and he'll be three (holding up 1 finger).
6.Santa is coming back to bring him birthday presents and a cake. If you ask what Santa is bringing, he doesn't know but..."It will be awesome stuff."

He's so funny! It's so crazy that he'll be three tomorrow! This time three years ago, I was in the hospital, having my blood pressure monitored and being told that I would be having a baby tomorrow! I was totally unprepared, it was several weeks early. My classroom was a mess, the nursery was a mess, and I didn't have a bag packed. It turns out, you don't need any of that anyway, I still got a baby the next day! And I got the surprise of my life, it was a BOY! I just knew it was going to be a girl. As it turns out though, I'm pretty glad I got him. :) I love that little guy!

Daddy's Birthday!

We had a fun weekend celebrating Jacob's birthday. Adam & I made him a cookie cake. Adam was in charge of the sprinkles & did an excellent job! He got a few presents from us but his favorite gift was an ipod from my parents. He's wanted one forever & is so excited to have it. He listens to it all the time! He also enjoyed the Superman card from Adam.

Another one..

Our family has so many birthdays this time of year. Today is Jacob's birthday!!

Party Time

Last month Adam turned 2! It's crazy to think of how quickly these two years have flown by! He had a cowboy birthday party at the park. Lots of family & friends were there to celelbrate with us. We had a visit from a rodeo clown (aka-grandma)- she played some games & danced with the kids. Aunt Jenny made a very cute & delicious cowboy cake. Adam got lots of fun gifts & had a great day with his friends! Here are a few pics!
