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!

Show and Tell Tuesday: School Photos

Happy Tuesday! Today I am joining Andrea for Show and Tell Tuesday's and today we are showing Worst School Pictures! I have a combination of good and bad school pictures just to mix it up a little bit!  Little baby Cat right before Pre-K!  Back in 2005, I was in middle school and going through a short hair and converse phase where I wore a lot of black and tried to fit in with a certain group of people! I was such a goof And Throwing it back to 2004! Aren't I just cute?!  Senior Year of High School  Senior Year pictures! I had ridiculously long hair that didn't like to cooperate for pictures! Then I chopped all of my hair off before going off to college Kept it short second year of college And finally grew it out and even colored it, I was in a rebellious stage it seemed! Those are my worst and best school pictures! I don't have too many pictures from my school days just because everything was thrown away when I lef...

Life Lately!

Happy Monday! Its a little life lately post to catch up on our past week! I started back to school for my Masters, Scott started his senior year of undergrad and life has gone crazy!  This little is working on sitting up, and finding all of his toys that he didn't know he had until he became mobile. He isn't crawling but he is really good at rolling himself around the place!  With sister in school all day these two are becoming best friends! I'll catch Skyler pulling R's hair, but I will also catch them laughing and playing and reading together! It's the sweetest little bond!  He enjoyed rolling himself underneath his crib a lot, all while I was sitting in the room with him! He loves to explore, even when it means momma has to rescue him from under the bed :P Afternoon cartons, goldfish and playing with toys We have been reading lots of books lately, we are going to the library this week to get some books but Ri has enjoyed reading wha...

Weekend Recap: Last weekend edition

Happy Monday! We have had a house full of sick kiddos and sick parents. It has been a crazy busy week on top of that so blogging took a break for personal reasons. This week I am back with a weekend recap for last weekend and then the weekend recap for this past weekend I will do tomorrow. :) We have had packed weekends the past two weekends! Friday we started out watching our favorite show, Mickey and the Roadster Racers, and then we went out to get some clothes for spring weather and Charlotte needed a new dress and dress shoes for a surprise she was going to on Saturday! Saturday started out slow, Scott had to work so I cleaned up the house a bit, and then watched movies with the kiddos. At about 2 Scott got home from work and the kiddos got up from naps about the same time and it got crazy really quickly. I had to run to the grocery store because we needed a new seat for Charlotte so she could go with Daddy but so that I could keep the van with me and Riley, without ha...
