The Birthday Boy is 2

I wanted to do a quick post with pictures of the birthday boy. Brigham Duke Keith turned 2 yesterday. On Saturday we took him to Chucky Cheese. All of the kids had a blast!

 

I was really really proud of how the cake turned out! I got the idea from Pinterest of course and had people stopping by our table to look at the cake the whole time we were there. I even had one guy ask me if I sold cakes and if I had a card he could get. :)

 

 

 Feeling the Chucky love!

 

 

There goes the knight riding off into the sunset with his girl behind him.

 

Happy Birthday Brigham!

 

At 2 years old Brigham is a big bundle of teasing and energy and fun. He follows me around the house everywhere I go and is constantly telling me, "I hungy" or "I wanna nack (snack)" or "I wanna treat." Seriously, this kid would eat all day if he could. He is saying more and more words his favorite things are "Choo-choos" and "Be" (Lightening McQueen... don't ask me why he calls it that). One of my favorite things that he says is "nee nee nee nee nee" any time he wants something opened. He loves to color and swing and play outside and read stories and watch "mee-moo"s (movies) and I just can't get enough of this kid. We are so lucky you are a part of our family Brigham! Your momma loves you with her whole heart!

Seneca Lake for Labor Day Weekend

David had a rare 3 day weekend last weekend and it was so fun! We had a little stay-cation and it was just so nice to be able to spend a little time as a family before school started again. We went to Seneca Lake on Saturday with our adopted grandparents that live here.

 

 

Me making sure the rugrats didn't fall into the lake.

 

Our uber handsome boat driver.

 

The cute boat driver let the kids "help" him steer the boat.

 

Hank. It is actually Hank and Sandy's boat, but he was more than happy to let David drive so he could relax.

 

Sandy. Our kids just love Hank and Sandy.

 

This is Brigham's I am going to be a stinker smile. And he was a stinker!!! He did NOT want me to touch him on the boat and he kept trying to climb out closer to the water. He was totally freaking me out!!!

 

It was such a fun day and the kids had such a good time. It really made me want a little cabin next to a lake somewhere. It was so relaxing and we played at the pool and met some of Hank and Sandy's friends for a barbecue afterwards. So so fun!

First Day of School! First Day of School!

 

Gracie and Sammy start school today! They are so excited. Gracie is going into 2nd grade and Sammy is starting Kindergarten. I already can't wait for them to come home and tell me all about it. :)

 

Benson started preschool yesterday. He had a great time and cried today when his brother and sister got on the bus and he didn't get to go to school today. Tomorrow buddy. You can go again tomorrow.

I always love the first day of school. I love going and seeing all the kids in their spiffy new duds and knowing how excited they are to go make new friends and learn new stuff. I was so excited for them I got up at 4:00 a.m. yesterday and today!  I remember loving the first day of school when I was a kid and so far my kids have been kindred spirits in that aspect. Gracie has been talking about the first day of school for over a week now and picking and re-picking which outfit she was going to wear today. Sammy even changed his mind this morning on which new outfit he was going to wear. Hahaha! Have a great day today kids! Your mama loves you!
