Valentine's Day!

What Mom got… Complete with a coffee gift card...he knows me well (o; What the boys got… And yes, even though he’s not big enough to caulk and shoot the guns, he enjoys retrieving the ammo…and chewing on it. Who me?  I wasn't doing anything wrong...Did you need this? He was having a little trouble hitting the pins from a distance (o;  We went and visited Curtis at the station (he worked on Valentine’s Day) to have dinner with him and the other firefighters.   You should have seen William come alive when we pulled out the guns and started an all out war with the guys (o;     You see William peeking out between the recliners? The kitchen island made it really fun!  Thank you Sweetie for making the day such a special one for the boys and I.  It was...special.  I love you.

Stamp it up!

Thank you Grandma Marsha for the cute little goody you gave me with the stamp on top for my birthday...I'm having fun!  *We weren't aware this was happening until William just walked into the kitchen and said, "Look at me Mom!" I did a double take, but then just started laughing. Hilarious.  Really Grandma, the thank you isn't sarcastic.  He's/we're having a blast.  And if you're wondering if his underwear are on backwards, it's how he likes to wear them these days...(o;

In keeping with William’s “rainbow” themed birthday, we spent some time the next day making tie dyed t-shirts with his cousins… What a handsome five-some!

Let's Party!

Thank you Uncle Cory, Aunt Lori and COUSINS (William always says it with great emphasis), for a fun day at OMSI with you!   Mom had to put the blindfold on and play pin the worm on the apple to show William it was fun! (He never did want to join in (o;)   The rest of us had fun though! I know one of these birthdays he’ll enjoy blowing the candles out… Rainbow M&M cookies with homemade vanilla bean ice cream (that William helped me make) and rainbow sprinkles!   Thank you to everyone who showered our William with special gifts. Just wait, I'm sure he'll ask to wear the boots to bed (o; He had a lot of fun playing with the rainbow confetti (that he cut up all by himself with his own scissors...he was very proud of himself I might add) for days after the party...

Happy 4th Birthday William!

Where have the last four years gone...?  Seriously, please don't let it go any faster.  At this rate, I can already picture myself watching him walk with diploma in hand as he graduates.  Okay, maybe not that quickly, but seriously...it's going by FAST!  We started the morning off with pancakes...one of his favorites. Calvin can hardly wait.  He wakes up HUNGRY! Here's a progression of pictures that I thought was hilarious. See that big pile of pancakes next to Calvin?  Watch it disappear... "Hey brother?!  Can I have some of yours?"  You'll notice that William is just now taking his first bite!  I learned something this year.  I tried putting a candle in William's pancake before I gave it to him.  Thought he'd like it.  Key word is "thought".  I should never assume.  He had a mini meltdown.  He later told me that he didn't want candles in anything for his birthday!  O..K!
