Fun Time Before Bath Time!!!

SURPRISE!!!

May 10th was Grammie's 60th Birthday!!! That meant one thing for sure...Surprise Birthday Party!!!

Auntie The Great isn't called Auntie The Great for nothing! She called Mommy and Daddy up telling them not to get us any new clothes for the occasion because she was excited to pick something nice out for us!

Boy did she do an amazing job! What a handsome little boy, and beautiful baby girl!

Anxiously awaiting the birthday girls arrival!













SURPRISE!!! The birthday girl has arrived!!!

While Mommy was quick to snap pictures, Daddy was sure to take video for Grammie to always look back on!

What a wonderful time, spent with wonderful people, for a very wonderful occasion!!!

Another very fun thing that happen as Mommy was posting about Florida... I learned to crawl!!!

Just like my brother, I started out moving backwards! I'd get stuck under anything that I could get my little body under!



Shortly after, I mastered the art of stopping my body from going backwards, and I learned to sit up from laying on my belly! Once I did this once, it was my new favorite thing to do!



At 8 1/2 months old, I decided it was time to try something new. Too many things I wanted were in front of me, so this whole backwards thing just wasn't cutting it. So I decided I'd give crawling a try! Boy am I glad I did, it's a blast getting to go where I want!



As much as this was a new concept for me, it was for Eric as well! Panic set in as he realize the distance he put between me and his markers was getting smaller and smaller as I approached! Let's just say he's never picked them up faster in his life!

Now no distance is too far for these arms and legs of mine! One second I'm on one side of the room, the next I'm on the other!



Sara! We are all so very proud of you! Love you! Love you! Love you! Keep up the great work!!!

Happy Birthday To You!!!

Another fun thing that happened over the past month...

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL ELLA!!!

We were so excited to be able to share her big day with her!!!

On top of that, we got to meet baby Julie for the first time!!! She's the adorable tiny one in the middle!!!





It was also Sara's first time meeting a lot of her friends!



Clearly, others had met before!





Have no fear! Hannah's Daddy had a close eye on the situation! :)



Daddy and his friends, or shall I say family, have basically grown up with one another...

...that's why it was so very special to have all us little ones together for the very first time!!!

All of us getting together is something Mommy and Daddy feel should happen at least once a year...and we agree!!! It was a blast!!! Happy 1st Birthday Ella!!!

Once we got home, it was time to play with our party favors!!! I had such a great time catching the HUGE bubbles with Grammie...

...while Sara had a blast creating her own!!!

She also had a great time trying out her party favor...an adorable Minnie Mouse Bow!!! It was hand made my Ella's Mommy Alison, so it was that much more special!!!

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY AUNTIE!!!

Much later in the night, Mommy and Daddy headed out to celebrate Auntie's 30th!!! We're not sure why, but we weren't invited to this party! Instead, we had our own little party with Grammie and Grandpa!

We all had such a blast!!! HAPPY 30th AUNTIE!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!
