Birhday, birthday

Catching up on my blog posts. Clearing all the pictures off the camera to make space for our upcoming EVENT! Hopefully my next post will be about our new baby!:)

But first things first:) Saturday I had a wonderful day at a Women's conference at church, and after we went out to dinner to celebrate Max's birthday with family who couldn't be at his party:) I bet you can't guess where we went... Red Robin! (shocking, I know)
Max wasn't happy until he was sitting next to Grandma:)

and sissy was there, of course:)- Pretty Bee

Max loved his birthday song

and Ice cream!!

Auntie Lyssa got him a cute hoodie and this great car which he LOVES! It plays "who let the dogs out".

Thanks again for that, Auntie Lyssa. I love that song; it's not annoying at all!! It was really cute, when we got it home he was playing with it and kept asking for help getting the dogs out of the car! He didn't really understand that it was just a song and there weren't actual dogs in the car:) So cute!

Then Sunday we got to go to Mina's friend Caley's birthday party:)

A Wall-E party:) We played with playdoh...

and twister! I'm not really sure if anyone knows what's going on here:)

but it was fun:)

and we ate cake!

Oh, the kids liked that:)

 

  then Caley opened her cards

and tried on her apron we gave her:) (Mina has a matching one:)

Thank you for inviting us to your party, Caley! We had fun!

Like I said, I'm not sure when I'll be posting next but hopefully it's to tell you about our newest family member!

O Baby!

Today at our Mom's group we had a baby "blessing":) It was really fun! Addie had put together these great little books that we wrote in for eachother, to share bible verses and words of encouragment. What a wonderful idea! Thanks Addie!

I joked about taking pictures of the preggos eating!:) Addie, due Feb 7th

Lauren, due Jan 29th

Karina, having her baby Feb 12th:)

Ethan lead the charge of babies a couple months ago:)

All the cute Mama's and bellies!

Bethy, Lauren, me, Addie, Karina, Christie (due in April) and Patricia (due in March)

Wow! That's a lot of pregnant ladies in one room!
I've been blessed to get to know you ladies over the last few months and I can't wait to see the friendships (and BABIES!) the future holds:)

Big bouncing birthday bash!

Today twas the day the kids have been waiting for over a month! Their crazy bounce house birthday party! First Nani and Papa took them to see Alvin and the Chipmunks:) Then they were ready to bounce!

They were really excited to see all their friends:)

here's some of the action....

I think Addie really wants that baby out!

I love my boys!

and my cute birthday kids!

Then it was cake time!

Scooby Doo! and cupcakes:)

They couldn't get the candles to blow out!

Mina was sooo over the cake. Get to the present opening already:)

Are you ready buddy?

Thank you to all our friends who came out to celebrate. Hope you had a blast, I know we did!

After the big party we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory with Nani and Papa!

Mac & Cheese:)

and MORE Ice cream! What could be better?!

Mama and Daddy likey:)

and once we got home it was all very sophisticated.

Max tried out one of his new presents!

Show us your gun show:)

Uh-oh we have a challenger!

and a new champion!

Happy birthday my sweet kids! Mommy and Daddy love you so much!

Birthday boy!

Well tonight we finally got to celebrate Max's birthday! I say finally because he's had to wait through so many other birthdays over the last month:) I bet you can't guess where he wanted to go for dinner.....
Red Robin! Oh yeah! Max likes Red Robin!

 Mina was diggin' the strawberry lemonade

He even got his own birthday song and sundae:)

and shared with sissy, what a sweet man!

mmmmm...

u-oh! Some fell on the table

He was so happy that Nani and Papa came out for the party!

We love you little man. Can't wait to celebrate your actual birthday with you tomorrow!

New

We had a wonderful New Years! Just hung out together at home:) and kissed at midnight. It was the best!

So far 2010 has started out WAY better than 2009:) And great things are just ahead!
We also had a relaxing family day to celebrate New Years day. We went to Starbucks for snacks:) and then movie time!

 We watched Harry Potter. Well actually, I slept, the kids played, and John passively watched while Facebooking:) But it was still great! And Pizza for dinner:)
Here's to 2010!
