Cool Shower, Julie!

So my sister, Julie threw a bridal shower for my up in coming sister-in-law, Stephanie. Can we say, "Martha Stewart, picture perfect, shower?" Check out the food table!

Happy Birthday, Devlin!

A shout out to my handsome honey. I hope you had a good birthday this year. Who wouldn't with that fantastic oatmeal cake I made you? I love you so much! Here's my top 10 favorites about Devlin:

10. He speaks with his hands. He's well know for his finger to his chin/lower lip. Love it.
9. He's a master at facial expressions. When we were engaged, one of my friend's said he looks like Hugh Grant. My sister this last weekend said he looks like the guy that won American Idol this year. Devlin beats them all in looks hands down.
8. He makes a mean grilled cheese sandwich. He loves food. He loves my food.
7. He has a great sense of humor. I love his laugh. It's contagious.
6. He's the best Dad ever. He wrestles with the kids, lets them help him fix stuff, takes them on bike rides, etc.
5. He helps EVERYONE ALL THE TIME! He helps me do laundry, dishes, clean the house, etc. I know I can always count on him to help out. He helps everyone else too. I doubt we have a friend/family member that has not benefited from his talent with computers and fixing things! Did I mention he's smart . . . . super smart. If smart was a super hero, he'd be it.
4. He names his cars. He loves his cars. We'll be losing one of them soon--stay posted for memorial service information.
3. He's the most positive person I know. He's always looking on the bright side of things. He believes and knows everything will work out. And it always does.
2. He's a gentleman. He's constantly reminding me to let him get my doors. He always waits for me to eat first, etc.
1. He choose to marry me! That's the best thing about him--that he puts up with me. He loves me and I love him.

Happy Birthday, Maxman!

So, Maxson turned 3 three this month! We went to visit Thomas the Train for his birthday. I'm pretty sure he had a good time. We followed it up the next day with a party and a batman cake! How do you like my cake? Believe it or not, I made it and frosted it all by myself!

Some cool things about Maxson:
1. He's potty trained and did it all by himself. I will love him forever for that.
2. He's so obedient. Whenever I ask him to do something, he says, "Sure, Mom!" And runs.
3. He's so loving. He's constantly giving me hugs and kisses, and telling everyone they're cool or pretty.
4. Whenever he says goodbye to someone on the phone, he kisses it. Too sweet.
