Mother's Day & 2 Birthdays

For Mother's Day, we took my Mom and Grandma out to breakfast at Bob Evan's. It was very good and they even gave us Momma's a carnation! Parker was so funny with the flowers!

Some amazing women in my life! My Momma & Grandma!

Our 4 Generations! 

Love my Momma so, so much!

After our special breakfast, we had a birthday party to attend. Our little nephew turned 2!

Parker and Cousin Noah (the birthday boy)

Look at my big boy sitting by himself and eating his pizza by himself!

It was Sesame St. themed! Parker loved running around with the other kids and chasing balloons!

Doing a bottle cap necklace craft with Daddy!

Thinking that the necklace felt funny on his neck, hehe!

Mmmm cupcake!!!

AND . . . Yesterday was also the birthday of my BFF/SIL! Lenette is my amazingly awesome best friend who just so happened to end up being my sister in law! I feel so blessed/lucky to have her in my life! I got her a donut from dunkin donuts with a candle that sings the happy birthday song! It was perfect! I think she knows how much she means to me!

She was so happy she took a picture of it! I love you best friend! 

When we got home that afternoon, Hubby hand washed my Envoy and we played outside with Parker. It was truly a perfect day.

 I thank God everyday for picking me to be Parker's Mommy! 

Happy Birthday, Bubba!

This is a few days late but I would like to wish a big Happy 24th Birthday to my little brother! 

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BUBBA!!! 

A Perfectly, Great Weeked

Hubby had drill this past weekend so we missed him but we did a lot of fun things!

Friday night we had a birthday dinner for Keith's oldest nephew! We had a nice dinner and then cupcakes and visiting afterwards. There was a lot of playing with the babies and with my C girl & B boy!! Parker and Noah are just 5 months apart!

Happy Birthday, Johnathan!

Noah and Parker hugging! Sweet baby cousin love!

Saturday morning, I took Parker to watch the Veterans Parade. He really likes parades but the fire trucks are just a bit too loud for him. 

Saturday afternoon we did a lot of playing and that evening we had our Fall Carnival at school. Since Keith wasn't home from drill, Parker went with me. It was a successful night! 

Wearing Daddy's lanyard and name badge 

 Early Sunday morning we headed to my Momma's for the day! She gave Parker his Halloween goodies!! 

He got some marshmallows, teddy grahams, and animal crackers!

I just LOVE this picture!!!

That afternoon I met my bestie at the mall for some shopping fun! We had a blast and are very much looking forward to next time - TWILIGHT! Yep, I am super excited!!!

We find the "Fun" in every store! :-)

1 Year Old! {Part 3}

My friend, Sheena, at A Girl's Guide to Retail Therapy always takes our pictures. She did AMAZING yet again! Thanks so much girl! 

Sheena also took all of the pictures during his party too. There are so many. So. Many! This was the easiest way to post almost all of them!

His day was so good! I am so thankful for everyone that came to help us celebrate the 1st year of my little boy's life! Although it was a wee bit stressful trying to make it all look perfect, it turned out fantastic. This memory will be treasured forever!!!
