Little men!!

 These two are THE CUTEST!!

We had a fun day of errands together...

Being an older mom makes me treasure the time with them so much more. 

So grateful for a round three and four!!

👇This little man is the bravest!👇

We've been in a flurry of medical appointments recently and he has been SUCH a trooper. 

We had another follow up this week and hopefully we're on to treating him so he can be healthy and strong! 

This is how we really feel about all these doctor appointments...😂

So this is how we make the best of it...😎😂

Oh and a little of this too...😁

James is such an amazing kid.  

Really.  

He makes us all laugh, and I'm so proud of him sometimes my heart could burst.  He goes in to all these medical appointments with the best attitude ready to make everyone around him happy.  

And in return, he makes us so very blessed and happy.   

A Saturday to remember!!

 Here we are...back at another STOA Tournament!! 

Yes - that would mean that our AMAZING son - in his first year even learning and trying this - is advancing in the finals, so he needed one more tournament to make it to compete in the national tournament...and you'd never believe what happened this past weekend!! 

💥💥💥😎😎😎🙌🙌🙌💥💥💥😎😎😎🙌🙌🙌

Daddy spent the WHOLE DAY judging...he is a serious super-hero!! 

He sent me pictures of my (recycled) signs and judge gifts from the last tournament that were sold to the next group hosting 😂 I guess they liked them?  

Natalie is so sweet and spent the day cheering on her friends and her brother...(and decided that she would indeed like to join in the fun of STOA next year as a "Super Senior"!)

 

I WISH we had a picture of the moment the judges announced that Joshua had placed in the finals.  

My friend was watching him (because she knew he'd placed) and she said his face was precious+priceless.  All of his friends jumped on him because he had truly done the impossible of advancing in one year what normally takes four to five years and we are SO INCREDIBLY PROUD OF HIM!!!! 

💥💥💥😎😎😎🙌🙌🙌💥💥💥😎😎😎🙌🙌🙌 

And now for the evening of this very amazing day... 🕺💃🕺💃

Natalie headed out of the tournament to set up for a dance she helped host!

All of the girlies looked so beautiful!!

Here's a little dance fun for ya...😎

And a little later in the evening...tell that cameraman to watch out!! 😂

 

What a wonderful, incredible day!!  

Randomness round up of the week!

The musicians had a concert recently...and life is moving so fast that I completely missed it 😂...Thankfully I at least caught the advertisement!  

(Does that count for being a present and involved parent?!😂😂)

 

Playing with new gifts and PRECIOUS 5-year-old "Thank you" cards for said gifts...😍😍

Busy days and a stop to Costco = Everyone's favorite Chicken Caesar Salad!!

 

Random SNOW in March! 

 

🍀🍀🍀🍀Green for St. Patrick's DAY!!!🍀🍀🍀🍀 

🍀🍀Way to go, fam!!🍀🍀

And, Lady Liberty has made her way to us again!  In the form of a new puzzle!!

We are LOVING our town puzzle exchange!!

Celebrating the REAL Birthday!!

Here comes the BIRTHDAY MAN!!  

He loved decorating his cake with all the truck candles!  

He didn't even mind that they've been used 100 times before 😂

His big request was to have a "Daddy wrap" for lunch...just like Daddy! 💞

The next request was "Pigs in a Blanket" for dinner 😂

Daddy also found a bottle of whipped cream forgotten from Christmas...so you know, that needed to be incorporated too!

We went around and did "Praises before Presents!" which was so special.  

We stop and appreciate how the person has grown in the last year, what character we've noticed developing!

 

Then on to the cake!! 

🎉🥳 Singing Happy Birthday...🎉🥳

So grown up!!

💥😎💖 His very own DUALLY....just like all the men in our family! 💥😎💖

And the Dino-Squash-Mallow MIGHT have been a HUGE HIT...

Then we had a play-land with all the new toys! 

What a special birthday for a VERY special little man!!! 

We are SO GRATEFUL for what a loving, fun, delightful young man Andrew is!!!  

BEST Bouncing BIRTHDAY EVER!!

🎉🥳🎉🥳 Look who's FIVE!!!!🎉🥳🎉🥳

We had an AWESOME party to celebrate Andrew at the BOUNCE PARK!!  

 We gathered our family and all the little friends and bounced the day away!

We had such a blast!!
