YO! It's a party!!!

Marcus' 2nd birthday bash was a success! This year we went the 'Yo Gabba Gabba' route! Yup - he is a HUGE fan of this show, as weird as it may be! We had the kiddie pools set up in the backyard to keep the kids cool as they played in the water and the playscape. After enjoying some time in the hot sun for awhile, we then enjoyed some pizza, fruit, and vegetables. Later, cupcakes and ice cream. We were thankful to our friends and family who came and celebrated this special event. From the look on his face, we knew Marcus had a fantastic time! That what it was all about - mission accomplished!

Marcus' 2nd Birthday!

2 years old, already?! Boy how the time has flown by!! It's unbelievable that my son has enriched our lives and made us so incredibly happy in such a short time. It feels like he's been with us forever! I'm going to sound cliche (sp?), but I can't imagine my life without him. I knew that somewhere he was always meant to be in our lives. We are very lucky to have such a sweet boy! So because I can't believe it's been so long, I had to throw in a newborn pic of my little MAN! Looking forward to many more incredible memories you will make for us!

Daddy's Day 2010!

This day was a very relaxed day hanging at the house. I made my husband a simple breakfast and then we were figuring out what to eat for later in the day to wrap up his Father's day. I had his upside down pineapple cake baking in the oven so all meals had to be figured out around the dessert. Being pregnant, I think about my meals quite often.
Then we had daddy open up his gifts, which consisted of the usual, but something he looks forward to getting - shirts for work, undershirts, socks, and a "tool" of some kind (this year a laser thinger ma-jiger). In addition to that, I got him a record player/CD/cassette/MP3 player radio. It's the kind that looks 'old fashioned' I guess you could say. Then I bought him two records - yes, records!- that I found at Half Price books. He really liked his gift and we were so glad about that! Then lastly, it was even more special taking a picture of all of them together because we knew that another little one would be coming soon! I love my family!

Summer Fun!

It's been a long while since I've posted....I think I had all the time and then before I knew it, the time passed. Here's a quick update with this and other posts to come.

Here the kids enjoyed some pool time in the backyard at the beginning of the summer. It's good to get out at our community pool, but we also wanted one to keep in the back because then the kids can run from the pool to the playscape. Much more fun for the kids, and yet much more fun for mommy and daddy because everyone tires themselves out! :) We look forward to more evenings like this!
