Tim's Birthday!

So we officially have a two year old! The day was so fun we had two parties and fun inbetween! We are so grateful for Timmy he adds so much to our family and is such a wonderful little boy! He is so kind and giving. He is funny and so loving! We love you Tim! Here is what we did:

In the morning we had the traditional pancake breakfast

Then we started with the cupcakes for the friend party that starts at 10:30!


I am competing with Megan for the mother of the year award! Aren't these cupcakes the cutest you have ever seen!

While we made cupcakes our cute lover boy wanted to play outside but it was 18 or so degrees with a wind chill that made it feel like -2!

At 10:30 we started the friend party, we had 6 two year olds running around! It was so much fun. We played with balls, went fishing for sand toys, played a jumping game and had a lot of fun with baloons.

Before the kids! It was and under the sea party so I had fish tied to helium baloons and so they were floating around for the kids to play with! We served 2 year old favorites grapes, goldfish and blue jello jigglers.

This is Tim making music with his friends and then sitting in timeout for hitting his friend with the drumstick. This is timeout 1 of 5 at his birthday party. For some reason he thought that he could get away with anything he wanted to on his birthday!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Timmy, Happy Birthday to you! This is the cutest all these friends singing this song. Some of them even were folding their arms at the beginning. My favorite part is them all clapping their hands at the end. It's so sweet to have good friends!

After all the festivities with friends we had a family party at 9:00 when the day was ended and we could all get together. It was really fun and Tim got his favorite toys a tonka truck from Grandma and some cool toys from Uncle Rick and the Taylors. He had an ice cream cake and a fish cake to carry on one of his favorite things fish! Yes Mike, you have a fish friend! :) Timmy loves fish!

We love you all and wish you could have been here! Thanks to blogs we are able to share all of our fun memories and times!

Valentine's Was So Last Week

Okay so I'm really late on the whole Valentine thing! But, it was wonderful so Iwant to share it with you. Oh yeah, I will share the Merry story at the end!

Our little family tradition is that they boys in the family get the girls flowers and the girls in my case girl makes the boys candy grahams! It is really fun and Matt surprised me with some beautiful red roses! Then I made my Valentines their candy grahams! It was great!!

These are my roses!

Tim with his candy graham!

After we gave our valentines we set up a candle light dinner in front of the TV and watched No Reservations! It was really fun!

This is the dinner!

Sorry no pictures of Porter in his cute heartbreaker pj's! He was in bed. Timmy on the other hand wanted to watch the movie with us. I think he lasted for about 20 minutes and then was taken to bed! It definatley was a Valentines to remember.

That is not all to remember it by! I had the assignment of putting something special together for my mom. So I spent most of Wednesday running around town picking out the perfect things for her. In Champaign there is this awesome chocolate cafe and the have amazing chocolates! Each one is just so beautiful. They have a fudge sundae, cinnamon roll and all sorts of truffles but, their beautiful. They are like art! So I picked the ones I wanted and then they wrapped it up really pretty in red paper and a bow! I grabbed some pretty foil covered hearts too because I thought that would add just the right touch. I didn't want her to see them so I took them down stairs and put them behind our couch pillow. So as the day went on and turned to night I had to go to the grocery store to pick up some milk and groceries along wiht some extra things for the special present. I came home and with my arms full and noticed there was a scratching noise coming from the basement door. I felt panic coming, I let Merry out and ran downstairs in a panic lifted up the pillow and the choclates are gone. I look up and in the famly room was the bag that once had the foil hearts in it. No trace of red foil hearts but, where is the box with the specialty chocolates? I ran around the basement I saw red wrapping paper with teeth marks in it and a red bow that had been torn off but, no box. So I went into Tim's room and at the foot of his bed was the box and about 3 of the paper wrappers that chocolates come in. They were GONE! All of them nothing left. I wanted to cry! Still do as I'm writing this! I felt like I wanted to kill her if she didn't kill herself by eating all that chocolate! I was having feelings like I hate dogs! But, now I'm over it. Somewhat! She luckily threw everything up on Porter's toy and then in her kennel and had diaherrea all night. It was nasty but saved her life. Merry since has pooped twice in the basement and once Matt stepped in it in the middle of the night! So she is a bad bad dog! What did I do to deserve this royal treatment! Don't dogs now that they are suppose to be good nice loving pets that don't eat chocolate! Anyway, she has come a long way and has resumed her role as a pet. Currently Merry is died yellow from food coloring, Thanks to Tim! She puts up with a lot from him. I'm glad she is patient with him! She's just has it in for me I guess! So that is Merry. Her picture is to the left!

Peek a Boo

Timmy is the cutest little boy. He keeps me laughing all the time. He is learning new words everyday. So I was feeding Porter in the chair and said "Tim, can you play peek a boo?" He then covered his eyes and opened them and said " Boo" it was so cute! I was able to get it on tape to share with you!

Tim behind closed doors!:)

Those of us that try to train our kids to sleep know what a joy that is. So since Tim has been in his big boy bed he has a really hard time going to sleep. This day it was his nap! He was screaming at me and locked me out of his room. As soon as I knew he was asleep I went to the other door that was shut, luckily not locked and this is what I found....
Emptied drawers, diapers scattered, destin in the hair and rubbed on the dresser and toys everywhere!! He almost made it all the way on his bed to fall asleep. Nat, this is for you!

Snow Day in the Freezing Cold!

We had a really fun snow day! Tim is such a big boy and loves to go outside. The only thing that he does not like are gloves. He takes them off as soon as he can.

Smiley:)

Isn't he adorable!!

Hi Matt!

Tim is so funny!:) He keeps me laughing all the time, anyway he calls his daddy Matt. I was able to get it on film and I wanted to share!

Breanna's Sleepover

I have a really cute 11 year old niece and she came and stayed with me two weekends ago while Matt was winter camping with the Scouts. It was so much fun and Tim just adores her. This is part of the reason why. She is so creative she made him this little play area with all his toys. I thought it was so cute I had to post it.


As you can tell he had a blast with it as well! He's all tuckered out!
