More birthday celebrations

This time we included our dad!

 Hey little buddy you aren't suppose to eat the plate.

 Ah, that is more like it!

When dad came into town last week we celebrated both his and lil' B's birthday.

Coachism's

Coachism #1
The other day Coach was wearing sports underpants and he thought it was pretty cool that they had a pocket up front. I told Coach that it wasn't a pocket, it is where you put your cup. Coach then darts out of the room and returns to me with his drinking cup still full of water sticking out of his underpants. Lol! I love how kids are so literal!

Coachism #2
Coach: blah, blah, blah, blah mom
Me: what you think I am boring?
Coach: no mom blah blah blah means I don't care.
Lol! My Coach is a real turkey, but that is why I love home so.

What we have been up to

Unapproved body art. This kid is TROUBLE!

On your special day

Since we are not celebrating your birthday until a week later (because dad living out of state and all) your older brothers and I tried to make your actual birthday as special as we could.

 Playing super hero's with Coach

 Bouncing on the couch.

 Visiting the elves with our bestest buddies.

 A whole doughnut to your self. YUMMY!

 Spaghetti dinner. Which you absolutely loved.

 And bath time with your bro.

Good times! Let the birthday celebrations continue! We are just waiting for you dad. We couldn't imagine celebrating without you.

Happy birthday lil' brother

A year has came and went and in that time you have grown so much. Your favorite food is banana's, you love to wrestle and play with your big brothers, you are into everything you can reach. By far you are the messy little man I know, but maybe that is because I am trying to keep a perfect house. You are very curious and love being part of our family. Most importantly we love having you in our family. Happy birthday Lil' B!

Happy Halloween

We had a spooktacular Halloween! We started off the evening trick-or-treating in our neighborhood with dad. Thinking we didn't get enough of a haul we headed over to Aunt Charlene's for round two of trick-or-treating with our favorite lil' Missy and her friends.

Trouble with a capital A

On weekend mornings the boys usually pile into our bed when they wake up. This morning like most mornings Coach woke up before Ash and joined us in our bed. When Ash finally rolled out of bed around 7:30 a.m. he came barreling into our bed. When I heard him coming I said "here comes trouble with a capital A." A second later Coach replies "I am not trouble because I do not have a capital A in my name." Ha!Ha! What a smartie! I sure love my boys!
