MY LOVES...

Just look at these sweet boys. We took a little time to get KJ and Lance's 1 and 3 year pictures. It was hard to get them to take a pic together, but we got one. I love these boys SO much!

KJ TURNS 3...

Happy Birthday KJ! The boy that made me a mama turned 3 on the 18th and had a very special day, just for him. He received some really nice presents throughout the day, but loved his first gift, new golf clubs that were just his size. Aside from a few near misses with my shins and his brother's body, they are perfectly safe and fun!

Kurt and I took him to Dave and Buster's for lunch and some games and it was a total hit. He hadn't been there in over a year and forgot about the place. It was hilarious to see him run around, jumping on every game he could and getting excited over tickets. He has asked to go back every day since his birthday.

Happy Birthday my beautiful boy. Everyone is so lucky to have you in our lives. You make each day an adventure and I look forward to the joy that you will continue to bring to us. Mama loves you!

FIRST EGG HUNT OF THE YEAR...

The little fellas invited a few friends over on Saturday to take part in a little Easter egg hunt. We thought that the rain would hold off for the fun, but the sky opened up right in the middle of the hunt. Within 10 minutes of finishing the hunt, the skies cleared a bit and the rain stopped. I was either 10 minutes to late or 10 to early. Oh well.

Lance walked around with me to gather a few and was happy to have an egg to chew. KJ lacked any competitive drive. After I said go, he stood with his bag waving in the wind, telling me that he liked watching his friend. Of the 200 eggs we hid, KJ and Lance collected about 12 together. The other 8 kids split the remainder. Oh well.

LANCE'S FIRST BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday to You. Happy Birthday to You.

Happy Birthday Sweet Lance. Happy Birthday to You.

My beautiful little baby boy, Lance, celebrated the big number 1 on Saturday with many friends and family. He had so much fun hanging out with all the guests, eating lots of food and opening presents. Once he got over the messiness of the icing, he loved the cake. KJ even pitched in and helped him eat a few spoonfuls.

I cannot believe that my little man is already one! It's been a busy year- traveling, trips on planes, visits to the zoo, lots of family time- but awesome. I love his kind personality and sweet temperament. I think that everyone is super excited to see where Lance will go over the next year.

BALLOON...

Last week it was walking, this week, it is talking. Our little man is starting to say a few words, but my favorite is "balloon". The look on Lance's face is awesome.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE...

...a few days make. From a wobbly little walk to moving around the house with a purpose, Lance is officially a walker! Now if KJ would only let him walk without purposely running into him. Oh, brothers.

TWO MOVERS?...

It won't be long and Lance will be toddling along with his big brother. He is practicing his walking skills more and more each day.
