Celebrations!

One can just have too many! I love birthday parties now that Sam is getting a little bit older to understand the concept. Matthew on the other hand just hid in the corner. We had a fantastic time at the Little Gym for a friends Birthday Party!

Sam and his buddy Aidan

Can you find Sam?

Matthew just observing this situation. He loves little babies, but you ask him if he wants another baby brother or sister and his response: "NO NO NO, I have Sam".

Matthew enjoying the high bars!

The boys enjoying cake at Mallories party! Even Matthew agreed to sit down and eat....without us! I actually left the room! It was perfect.

My 4 extra hands

and I'm not calling them 4 extra helping hands! The boys just love to help cook and clean. Great you think. NOT! They love to help, but it isn't always in their best interest to remain civil. So, here we are again, breaking all the rules sitting on the counters, however, some days I just give in to the fight because it makes them so darn happy to help. Better yet, they will eat what they make themselves...well, Matthew will eat anything, Sam on the other hand has gotten a tad bit better at trying everything! The treat of the day was...rice krispys! HUGE hit over here!!! For mommy and daddy as well.

Go Bucky!

Thanks so much for the books Mimi! The boys love them and request to read them every night. How cute are they? If I had sound in this picture, the sound would be, Sam reading his own story, and Matthew laughing because he sees Bucky upside down :)

all ready for...well, not sure!

Some days, you just don't need to ask questions. You just go with the flow. Today was definitely that type of day. If your roller skates and swim goggles and helmet make you happy, power to you. Go Sam!

me and my cup of Joe buddy!

waiting so patiently for the pot to be done brewing! Matthew requests his coffee every morning. It's getting bad. Not that he gets it every morning, but he requests it every morning. Darn it if I make it during nap time, he will awake from nap requesting it! My children have inherited my sense of smell. They have a cop for a nose.

This morning he actually brought out my creamer from the fridge and said, "mommy, all ready for coffee". It was priceless! Yesterday at the park he drank about 70% of my cup. He seriously sat on the sidelines, while everyone else was playing and sipped his cup.

I can't wait to grow old and sip coffee with you buddy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Daddy!

Happy Birthday Daddy! We just wanted to wish you a very happy morning and we wanted to share with all of you his desk! Looks like his co-workers had fun last night!

We all Love you and we'll see you when you get home tonight! Happy Birthday to you! Enjoy your lunch out today :)
