Tired after a long afternoon on the lake......

I have more to post from the weekend we were at the lake with Terry and Shannon, but this was one picture I thought was precious....JP LOVES his Mary Elizabeth! Thank you for putting up w/ my randomness! I have so many photos and not enough time (w/o you know who on my lap) to post them. My computer takes 4-ever to upload to blogger.

I also have to give a quick SHOUT-OUT to my sister-n-law....Amy is pregnant! We are all excited and looking forward to welcoming another little addition to the family in April! Congratulations Amy!

A little bit of birthday....

COMPLETELY out of order. I cannot seem to post these in the order that they took place....sorry! Can I plead insomnia?!

JP and daddy waiting for their turn to see Chuck E. himself. JP wearing his birthday medal.

Opening presents...
The table before we trashed it!
Ki Ki enjoying the ride. This was her first time at C.E.C.
Daddy letting JP press all the buttons...it's all he wanted to do!

On the way home dazed and sleepy, but holding his most prized possessions....the Doodlebop characters from his GaGa!

Sliding down the slide with Miriam and the Doodlebops. (We went to church with Miriam, her sister, Meredith and their mommy. They were both adopted from Vietnam. She is JP's future wife...sorry girls!)

Opening his Doodlebops.

I have a lot of pictures from both of his birthday parties. I will have to post them a little at a time. Here are a few from Chuck E. Cheese on Friday night. He had an absolute blast! He followed the HUGE Chuck E. Cheese character around the entire room trying to give him five and hugs. He was a little doll!

Brand new toddler bed for my brand new 2 year old!

Well, I finally gave in and allowed Scott to buy JP a racecar toddler bed. He was not a huge fan of the crib anyway! So....I guess my little man is growing up! Now, we'll see if he actually sleeps in it!

Few party pics from tonight (Sat.) To Be Continued.....

Yea! Daddy...the higher, the better! I love me some Mary Elizabeth.....
Jamie (aka Bubba) played in the pool with me so mommy could rest! Thanks, Bubba!

WOW! I am exhausted! It's very late, so I am going to be quick..... We had 3 birthday parties this weekend. Chuck E. Cheese was last night (Fri), Kenzie had a Pump It Up party this morning (Sat) and we had another pool party for JP tonight. We are all pooped. Needless to say, JP had slept very well this weekend! Yippee!



Here are a few pics from tonight, I will add more tomorrow from all of the parties. I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far! Good night!

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY!!

Today is my baby's birthday!!! I am heading to Sam's to buy his birthday cakes. Yes, I did say cakeS....our family/friend list is pretty big, so we have split the birthday party in half!! Tonight is CHUCK E. CHEESE!! WooHoo! Tomorrow night is swimming at Nanny and Papa's! We are very excited. Last year, if you remember, Scott was in the hospital for his 1st birthday. So, this is his first real party...I cannot wait! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEET BOY!! We love you!

Confession

I have to confess something.....I created a Face book page! It began because I wanted to look at pictures of a girl I went to high school with. The only way I could do that was to create my own page. So, I did. Anyway, I have become addicted to it! It is really fun. Unlike the blog, which I think of as more of a scrapbook or journal, Face book is more of a message board. I have been in touch with a lot of people who I knew from my high school/college days. It's really fun.

We came home from Terry and Shannon's lake house Saturday. Despite all of the things that went wrong, we had a great time. Friday night after our steak dinner (yummy!) we took the boat out for a ride. Half way through, something went wrong in the motor. We ended up stranded, and had to call the neighbor to rescue us. He pulled us behind his boat back to the house. Later that same night, we decided to let the kids sleep in the living room together. JP was running to dive onto his pillow and missed...he hit his head on the coffee table (that Shannon and I had JUST surrounded with pillows.) He ended up with a golf ball-sized knot on his head. We pumped him full of Tylenol and he ended up sleeping in the bed with me. Surprisingly enough, he was fine the next morning...after crying through most of the night! Sorry guys! Like I said, we still had a blast. Saturday was beautiful and we all played on the water with no injuries. Actually I did fall on the boat ramp, but we won't talk about that. Terry and Taylor have already had plenty of laughs from that!

Today JP and I are just hangin' around. Tomorrow and Thursday we will head back to the lake to Kathi's cabin for more lake fun. Friday is JP's birthday, so we will have a big weekend. I hope everyone is doing well. I will post more pics of the week soon.
