John Deere Party (Cake #2)!

Will had his 3rd Birthday party today at The Little Gym. He had a blast. He was non-stop playing and smiling! I am happy to say that all the kiddos seemed to have fun and only one boo-boo! Will was thrilled with his John Deere tractor birthday cake. I think Will's favorite thing was when he got to sit in the middle of the parachute and we sang happy birthday to him!

We appreciate Gigi and Uncle Robby for babysitting Ben at the party. Ben had fun walking around and playing with the balls and bubbles. I will post some more pics later!

And he is off!!!

Ben is a walking pro now...No more arms up by the head. He is squatting to pick things up and returning to stand. The funniest is him walking around and following Will.

Will had his first gym class without mommy today. He did really well. Ben really enjoyed walking around and exploring the waiting area.

Tomorrow is Will's party so I hope all goes well!!! Gigi and Uncle Bub are coming to babysit in the morning while Mommy and Daddy go to a training at church. We are going to be facilitating a Finanical Peace class starting next week until May.

Birthday Prep

Will had a good week at school. He is starting a new gym class tomorrow. It will be his first where Mommy does not go in with him...knowing Will this will be no big deal. I just hope he does not try anything too crazy!

We are preparing for his 3rd birthday party on Saturday. I just hope he has fun and that all goes well. I made some candy suckers the other day to give to the kiddos (with Gigi's help). They turned out really cute.

I have not talked about the party too much so he won't be asking about it 24/7. Next week we will take cupcakes to school and then we will have another party with all our family to celebrate Ben's 1st and Will's 3rd birthday together.

Thank goodness for school!

Will went back to school today! He needed to go badly. He has been a handful the past couple of days but I am sure the weather is not helping. Usually we are running late and are at the end of the carline..well this morning we were the 7th car in line! I hope he is having a good day. Ben and I have enjoyed some quiet together and I have got to make some important phone calls. It feels good to have a little sanity now and then.

Birthday Cake #1

Mommy's first birthday

Well, we finally celebrated my birthday on Friday. We had some homemade chili that Daddy made and then some yummy cake..thanks Publix! Anyways, we had a nice day with my family and Will loved the cake! I got some free time to work on a project while Gigi and Uncle Robby watched Will and Ben. Daddy has been working on his garden for this spring. Hopefully we won't gain too much weight eating cake because we have 3 more to go this month!

Happy 2009!

We hope everyone has a wonderful 2009. We pray for a healthy and happy one. This month we will have 3 birthdays at our house...Will is turning 3, Daddy is turning 31 and Ben is turning 1! We look forward to lots of cake! We are celebrating Mommy's 31st birthday tomorrow..a little late but we were out of town on the 27th.

Daddy and Mommy had a nice dinner out with friends at Dolce last night. It was very good. It was great to go somewhere "fancy" and have a break from the kiddos. Thanks to Gi and Pop for the babysitting!

Ben is running a temperature this morning and is acting puny...Will is finally back to his normal self. Hopefully we will not have to go the doctor!

Will

Here are some pics of Will having fun outside. He is feeling better today but still is not completely himself. We spent the morning running errands and had lunch out at Jason's Deli. Will helped Daddy work on his future garden for this spring.
