Sweatervests

It's been raining for almost five days. We had so many fall plans, but the weather has been horrible. We are hoping this week dries up and we can get out a DO SOME FUN STUFF!!

Aaron's Party

It has rained since Thursday and it's YUCKY! Today we had a bit of fun going to Aaron's first birthday party.I'm not sure if Aaron had a much fun as Ethan opening his presents. I know we told Ethan at least ten times to let Aaron open them!!
Aaro loved his cake! BUT, we all did. It was yummy!
Jaden brought her MP3 player and let the boys listen to her music.
We had a great time.

Money, money, money, money!

We got a pile of birthday cards last week for E's b/day and I put them aside for him to open when he was in "the mood." Tonight we opened them at the dinner table. My aunt Marlene sent him a card with money in it (the best kind of card). Ethan pulled the money out and yelled, "Wooohooo TEN BUGS!" Sooo funny!!!

Third times a charm?

This is the second year in a row that Nate and I have gone out the night before and bought balloons for Ethan's birthday party only to FORGET them in the basement or in a closet. Lucky for us, he's still young and doesn't care. He loves them anytime!

The boys really, really, really have enjoyed all Ethan's b/day presents. They are playing together so much. Nate picked out the game Guess Who and Ethan absolutely loves it. He and Nate play forever each night!

MeMaw's darlings

Memaw had so many stories of the boys from this week, but this one was my favorite. Memaw asked Link if he was he boy and he said, "I your Darling." They both were DEVASTED when she left today! They had a blast last week!

The Party!!

When he woke up at 7:30 this morning, he asked, "When are they getting here?" The weather was crazy today. It drizzled, sprinkled, and was so windy today. We debated for hours if we should have the party at home or at the playground. We finally decided to have it at home.I think it was a good idea. The kids barely came out of the toy room!
Cake brought them out!
He got into his "shy" mode while everyone was singing to him. He turned his head and wouldn't look at anyone. Lincoln on the other hand was the life of the party!
Aaron was in a great mood. He wasn't so crazy about the vanilla cake, but he LOVED the chocolate. He's a smart fella!

Lincoln was quite the ladies man today.

Fall is here

Since my baby is not here for me to take pictures of for his fifth birthday, I thought I would post some fall pictures. When we left Pennsylvania on Sunday, we were surrounded by COLORS! We took our time driving home. We stopped aside the road a few times so we could take a few pictures! It was so nice not having to hand snacks and toys to the back!!! The top picture was taken just a few miles from Bob and Marsha's house. Ethan loves the windmills. Once we got out of Pennsylvania mountains, the colors gradually faded back to green. It's still pretty green here, but this gave us taste of the colors to come!
