Brady's 3rd Birthday

Brady is 3! We had a fantastic family day filled with breakfast cup cakes, drawing fun and a first-ever trip to Six Flags. (Both boys nearly lost their mind when we told them we were taking them to Six Flags. They've always asked us, "When are we big enough to go there?!" TODAY, my friends.) We had a few melt downs around lunch time but they boys rallied for a few more hours of rides and cotton candy before we headed home. We topped off the night with dinner at, wait for it - McDonald's. Brady's choice, of course.

Happy Birthday, Brady - you are a fiery, caring, good-hearted, smart, fun-loving, strong willed, adorable little man. My heart is full when I am with you. Thank you for making me smile, laugh, gasp and cringe throughout each day.

Sans Daddy

We spent the majority of the week sans our Missouri and Illinois licensed attorney Daddy while he was in court in California. Say what? I know, right?! We did a lot of face time and sent tons of pics back and forth. We're glad Daddy is back with us!

Water Play

I guess the sprinkler water was a bit too cold for this one.

Damn it. I'm hooked.

(Last) Weekend Recap

Is it possible to have a weekend that has zero planned activities? NO. (I'm not sure how I feel about this...all signs are pointing to our boys growing up, which leads to a plethora of mixed emotions.)
We were supposed to play soccer and tball, but the rain changed our plans. After Friday nights evening with the Carters (insert French martini) and Saturday night with Kels and Ryan, Sunday was our recoup day. Man, I need a post weekend nap these days!
