Wordless Wednesday

Happy Leap Day!

I had a doctor's appointment so I was able to get home while it was still light outside.  I miss wearing my little baby!  This was his first time facing outward and he seemed to really enjoy it.  Big smiles in both pics!

I stayed home with this sweet thing on Mardi Gras day.

Love all of his funny faces!

Hey there!

Grandpa and Nana came over on Sunday afternoon to watch the kids at our house so I could take my hunny to dinner for his birthday.  It looks like Carter had a good time.

Playing is a full time job

Daddy and Viv's 5th bday party!

Here are pictures from the second party we went to on Saturday.  My MIL hosted a dual party for my hubby and our niece.  Hubby worked on the grill while the kids played.  This was Ricky's first pinata experience.  His cousins showed him how to swing the bat and he had a fun time.  It was sweet to watch.  After that was dinner, pin the tail on the donkey, and cake.  It was a long day, but Rickybear had a fun time.  Carter didn't know what was going on, but I swear he was there, too.

Sam's 2nd birthday party!

Saturday was a birthday party day.  The first party we went to was for my cousin and his son.  (By the way, I don't really know how that works... does that make both of them my cousins?)...  Anyway, I wasn't able to stay but an hour, which was really very disappointing for me.  I was happy to spend time with family that I only get to see once or twice a year... my cousins, my aunt (and uncle, via skype!), and my sister.  Everyone was able to meet Carter for the first time and to see how much Rickybear had grown. 

When we first got there, Ricky pretty much hung out with the adults.  Literally five minutes before we left was when he warmed up and started playing with the other kids.  Can you imagine the crying that ensued?  It was sad.  He did get some presents from family, though, which included a stuffed monkey (I love hearing him say "monkey"... it's adorable) and a super soft stuffed bear.  My family also gave me a mini baby shower, which was totally unexpected.  I had a really nice time while I was there and I wish I could have stayed longer, but hopefully we can have more play dates and meet ups soon.

So here are the pics that I took from that party.  I missed the pinata and the cake and presents, but here is what I have.  Sorry if they are a little blurry.

We had just arrived.  Playing with a shiny balloon!
