Throwback Thursday: Riley's First Birthday Part Two edition


Happy Thursday! Today I am doing at Throwback Thursday Post: Riley's First Birthday Part Two edition. 
Back in October I was talking about Riley's First Birthday celebration weekend. With my dad having hip surgery he was unable to travel so Riley had a unique twist on his birthday and we celebrated with neighbors and friends at our house on the Saturday before his birthday and on his birthday we drove up to Mimi's house and celebrated with family up there! It was a long weekend full of cake, presents, and love for our sweet one year old boy! 
Sorry this is so late, but sometimes life happens so today we are going to recap and reflect on celebrating our baby boy! 
Join me! 


Our day started incredibly early, we were packed in the car with all of our stuffed animals, favorite blankets, pj's, milk and breakfast at 7 am. 

By about 11 this girl was decked out in her sunglasses and more toys

And hubs and I were wired from our third cup of coffee.

It is a four and a half hour drive up to Mimi's from where we live and normally the kiddos do wonderfully, some days they have issues but generally they do very well. On the way up they were great. They played with all their toys, ate breakfast and just snoozed the whole time. 

This boy was excited about being able to run around. After outfit and diaper  changes it was running around and eating lunch. Scott and I left the kiddos with Mimi and Grandpa for a quick run to the store to grab some supplies and to get the balloons since I was not transporting balloons four and a half hours with us. So we ran some quick errands and came back right in time for our guests to arrive

Chicken fingers, sandwiches, chips, fruit, veggies, cheese, you name it, we had it!


He was so happy about lunch time he wanted to shout at everyone.

Decorations



And his birthday cake and smash cake, both made my Mimi :) 

Playing with toys and climbing on daddy was next after eating some yummy food.


This tie did not last long, but it is okay because we got the picture before he removed it





Then it was time for cake. He was so confused

But it did not take him long before he dug in. He was not hesitant at all about the cake like his big sister was when she turned one.



He was so exicted




Messy boy! 

Will tried feeding him with a spoon and he did not want it. 

After a quick bath to clean up, we did presents and then had to leave. It was sad having to leave so early but Scott had to be at work on Monday and we had a doctor's appointment for his one year check up early on Monday morning. We had such a wonderful time celebrating our baby boy turning one with our family, we wish we could have stayed longer :) 
This little boy is so loved and I am thankful to have such a wonderful family to have around the babies! 

Thanks for stopping by today! It was a long post but a good happy post! 
Have a great day!

Some much needed family fun!

It's been a bit hectic the last few days! We got up and went to church Sunday morning for the first time at a new church. The pastor was so funny and made a new church less scary for me! Then Charlotte went to Mimi's for a few hours and Scott and I ran a few errands, cleaned out the truck, and went to the pool hall to play a few rounds before going to get her. I don't know what it is about the pool hall but it always is a place we enjoy going, without baby of course! After we picked Charlotte up, we went home and relaxed for a few hours and watched tv and played COD:ghosts!( Another one of our couple things) Then I packed a bag for Charlotte, did Scott's laundry, and cleaned up the house. Finally I packed my bag. Why am I packing bags and cleaning up the house you ask? Well, Charlotte and I are with Scott this week going to Florida. We are going down to the gulf coast for a little sun, surf, and family time, and Scott has to work a day down there as well! Then we ar

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day to all! It's been a wonderful family weekend! Unfortunately our Memorial Day ended early, since Scott is now headed to work. He has to be in Miami, 7 am tomorrow! Yuck. Luckily Monday is almost over and we only have to make it until Friday until we see him again! Trying to stay positive and look at it as a good thing, not a bad. It is hard to see him leave, but I know he has to go to work. Charlotte was sad but luckily nap time was soon after he left so she transitioned into sleep fine. She will be upset when she gets up in a few but lots of cuddles, cartoons and playing until bed time will keep her preoccupied. We are headed to the beach this weekend, and then staying down there for the week while Scott works, but we will all be together and Mommy and Charlotte will be looking at houses while Daddy works so we will stay occupied with that and lots of pool time! Cannot wait until this week is over. May is almost over, then June is here! Cannot believe that!

Weekend Recap: This Weekend Edition

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a good Monday! We certainly did! We did not run around like crazy people and got Charlotte's big birthday gift from Momma and Daddy yesterday so all is on track for our princess turning 3 on Sunday! This past weekend started out slow with playing with all of our toys and stuffed animals  and taking lots of naps on the momma Saturday was spent cleaning, taking out the garbage to the dump and buying groceries. So Saturday we spent just getting ready for the week and taking care of everything we needed to get done for a busy week that we are currently in. We also took one more day of rest to recuperate from the stomach bug and allergies that made the rounds through our house.  Sunday we got out of the house because it was not too hot and not too chilly and it wasn't raining so it was the perfect day to go to the flea market.  The babies are watching a show which is why they are not looking at the camera, and we were sitt
