Cousin Catch Up

Well I have alot of blogging to catch up on since somehow the month of June got away from me. I will blame part of the reason on the fact that I actually took a little vaca in the middle (another blog), and the other part is just laziness. So, prepare for some catch up, some throw backs and some really great pics over the next week.
Starting with the most recent and working backwards...kinda...we have got in some good cousin time. This past weekend my little sis came down with my two nieces and we got to enjoy some girl time (+Lucas) which was really nice. I was actually up at their place the weekend before at the end of my "vaca", so two cousin weekends in a row had the kids pretty excited! Here are some pictures from our trips;

We did get to help Allie celebrate her 2nd birthday while she was here. Happy Birthday Allie!
I do wish I lived closer to my sisters so we could see eachother more often, the kids have such a great time together when we do see them. One night up North, Lilly, Allie and Hannah were all belting out songs and dancing while Lucas kept the beat on some bongos. It was oh too cute. Here are the naked (potty training) back up singers.

Then, this past weekend we really got the party started with a pancake breakfast and sprinkler park morning. The kids were sitting at the "bar" at the window so Tiff got some cute pics. cheese! I think this pic is funny bc Hannah is so adorable and Lucas is so Lucas. Bring on the pancakes!

Then we headed to the sprinkler park (my new favorite place so far this summer). Gotta love free hours of entertainment!

And then later we headed to Nana and Papaws for a little birthday celebration and grub. The kids has a blast on the swings that hang from their pergola. It was the joy of the evening! the two year olds and the four year olds (that suprisingly still fit in the baby swings) And nothing like a giant cookie and some icecream to end a great day. I guess the celebratory birthday month of June is officially over. Anybody still wanna party?

Happy Birthday to Me!

I celebrated my 31st birthday this past week, I know I know I TOTALLY don't look 31, but it is true. Haha. Here is a great pic of me in my younger days...(in homemade matching outfits of course!- you rock mom!)

This pic totallys shows off my personality...hehehe.

So my day started out with Tim bringing over my presents from the kids early so the kids and I could play for the day. Lucas picked out a pirate ship for me, and Lilly picked out a princess castle (they know just what I love).

we had alot of fun putting them all together...

the finished products!

(I also got some 3d sidewalk chalk, which we will have to check that out later today). The rest of the day was great. The weather was hot so we hit the sprinkler park with my friend Jamie and her kids combined with a picnic lunch (my fav), headed home for naps, joined Tim for dinner and then drinks with my favorite work girls. And then I even crashed a boys night out. All in all a perfect day. I think it will make my top 10 birthday list! Thanks for all the love via fb, calls, cards and support. I have the best family and friends ever!

Wordless Wednesday- Lucas: "MOM!! What is that?? Are those GIANT marshmellows??
