Spence-man…looks like he’s 3 going on 13 here!
I love him….even if sometimes I think he loves the iPad more than me! 😉 One things for sure, he’s always going to make me laugh.
He’s the best.
Birthday Party!
We celebrated Samantha’s birthday last weekend with a little party, just the 5 of us! There were balloons, presents, and cupcakes from Olexa’s! Perfect!
This picture cracks me up because they were looking up to see…
silly Dad! 🙂
Everyone loves a party hat!
We were all excited to celebrate our favorite baby girl!
After lunch, we opened presents! Well, Maxwell and Spencer opened presents. They’re such helpful brothers! 🙂
Baby was loving all the help and all the attention!
After that, it was time for the main event! Cake and a pink candle!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday Baby Mantha!
Happy birthday to you!
Make a wish! (and I love love love this photo!)
Then grabby hands 1 and 2 went in for the steal!
Samantha got a perfectly pink strawberry cupcake for herself!
And she had no trouble getting that thing into her mouth!
Ohhh….so good! 🙂
Smash it in! Yum!
The boys were loving how much she was loving the cupcake!
and they were loving their own chocolate cupcakes!
It was the perfect little celebration for my perfect little girl!
Happy Birthday Samantha!
Now, back to the cake! 🙂
See you tomorrow!
Itty Bitty
Happy Monday! We had a good – and cold! – weekend around here. It started with a little wintry mix of Friday. Luckily it wasn’t cold enough for anything to stick – but it was cold enough to not want to be outside! Instead of letting the boys sit around on their iPads all day Saturday, I threw them in the car and we went up to the McWane Science Center to go to the Itty Bitty City. They loooove it up there and I can’t blame them – it’s really neat!
In Itty Bitty we played in the water area…
Cooked up some food in the restaurant…
Climbed all over…
and also went to the Vet’s Office and drove the Fire Truck! Once our time was up in Itty Bitty, we explored McWane a bit and dug for some dinosaur bones…
and of course spent time mesmerized by the ball machine in the lobby!
A fun way to spend a cold morning! Now we’re ready for a great week ahead celebrating a certain baby girl’s FIRST BIRTHDAY!!
TGIF
Happy Friday from…
Maxwell (who got to wear his pjs to school yesterday!)
Spencer (who really wanted to wear his dinosaur rain coat with the hood up despite no rain!)
and Samantha (who stood by herself for a good 10 seconds yesterday!)
Make it a great weekend!
Long weekend
We definitely enjoyed our long weekend last weekend. It started off with a bang for Maxwell when Robert took him to the Lego BrickFair at the BJCC!
He even came home with two GIANT boxes of Legos – both of which were completed within a day and a half! He’s a Lego machine!
The rest of the weekend? We enjoyed the beautiful weather on Saturday with a neighborhood stroll…
and bundled up for a much chillier stroll on Sunday!
Maxwell missed that walk because he got to go bowling with a buddy!
It was nice to just have an extra day to lay around in our pjs…
eat cake pops for breakfast (thanks Dad!)…
and watch more of the iPad than we should!
We even had special visitors on Monday! Aunt Messy and LuLu!
All in all a great long weekend. I wish we had 3 days weekends every weekend!!
