Happy Birthday Bubba!!

So we just got back from Utah Sunday night. We went there for Andrew's birthday. His actual birthday is Monday and he is turning 5 years old. I still can not believe it. It all just goes to fast for me. I remember when he was just teeny tiny and now he is going to be going to kindergarten soon.




Anyhoo Friday night we went to Garcia's for dinner and Andrew got to wear the birthday hat and got fried ice cream. At least he wore the hat unlike Rylee on her birthday. After dinner we went to Disney on Ice. We saw Mickey and Minnie's Magical Journey. It is one that we saw a few years ago when the kids were a little bit younger. It wasn't exactly the same as before-they had switched it up a little to keep it interesting. The kids liked it better this year as they were a little bit older. For some odd reason I bought Rylee an $18 toy that she will only play with once. Oh well-how many times am I actually going to do that for her (probably a few more).



Saturday was the big birthday party. It was a construction theme birthday party which ended up being just so cute. My sister had gotten caution tape to go around the house but instead of saying caution it said birthday zone and orange cones that she tied balloons to that were outside. Then she had these cute toy dumptrucks that we put candy and chips in. They played some fun games but Andrew just wanted to open his presents. He was so excited-what kid (or adult) doesn't want to open presents. He got a lot of fun things but the biggest and best of all was from Mommia and Dad-a trampoline. How fun is that-I kept trying to kick the kids off so I could jump all by myself. It's no fun when the kids are on there and you have to be careful. Luckily it was nice enough this weekend were we could spend some time outside.

The kids pretty much wore themselves out on that trampoline Sunday. Rylee slept almost the whole way home which almost never happens. It does make me mad that we had sunshine in Utah this weekend only to come home to gray clouds and rain. Welcome Home!! Happy Birthday Bubba!

My Other Babies

So these are my other two babies that get forgotten entirely too often (in their opinion). They may not get as much attention as they did before Rylee was born but they are still spoiled rotten! Don't let Pumpkin's grumpy face fool you-actually he doesn't look too grumpy in these pictures because Rylee wasn't around. After 4 years he still hasn't gotten used to her being around. Gizmo puts up with her and Pumpkin usually runs away anytime she comes into the room.

Gizmo is a little camera shy so I don't have as many pictures of him but here is him playing with the kickaroo that he got for Christmas because he is always biting and kicking Justin's socks. While I fold the laundry he waits for me to bundle up the socks and throw them at him so he can attack. He still prefers those over the kickaroo.

Then silly Pumpkin liks to sleep in the sink-every once in a while that is just where he likes to be. I don't know how he gets himself to fit in there- he looks fat but maybe he's all hair!

They (especially Pumpkin) like to hang out on Rylee's bed but only when she isn't on it.

I know nobody wants to hear about my cat's but me-you can just call me the crazy cat lady!
