The Perfect Saturday

Our Saturday night consisted of a family dinner and now an outside fire. Pax even enjoyed a s'more or two. I can't imagine a better way to spend a Saturday night!!

Parker's First Ride

We rode Strike again this afternoon, and Parker was awake so he got to ride!!!  He wasn't too sure about the whole thing, though.  He had a firm grip on my arm for a while.  Towards the end he grabbed the reins and wanted to take control!  Haha!

Pax did really well again today!  He even trotted!  He was so cute telling Brad about it when we got home!

Baby Bennett

The hostesses with the guest of honor (Amy, Anna, Alison, and Sara)

with Anna's mom

Alison's decorations were so cute

Alison, Sara (friend from Anna's church), and I hosted a baby shower for little Bennett who is due in 5 weeks.  Anna and I have known each other since we were 5 so this was pretty special for me to be able to join in and shower her as she gets ready to have her 3rd boy!!! 

Happy Birthday, Fabiano's Style

The birthday boy and DC

We celebrated Pops' birthday tonight at Fabiano's Pizzeria.  Pax helped me pick out a cake for him, and then also made him a card.  He wrote "Happy Birthday, Pops!  Love, Pax" all by himself on the card!  I wrote it, and then he copied it and formed the letters himself.  He's really learning his letters and numbers!

15 Month check up

Parker and cousin Jess

Modeling Pax's boots

Parker had his 15 month check up today.  His statistics are: 23 lbs (25%), 30 1/2 in (35%), head size 47 cm (42%).  She said he looks good, and as explored/destroyed her office, she said he seemed like a smart one.  :-) That makes Momma proud!!!

He is starting to say a lot more now.  Some things that he says are: momma, da-da, bubba, ball (his FAVORITE word), abre (open), papa, pops, shoe, duck, agua just to name a few.  He still uses his sign language and has adapted some to his own signs.  My favorite is his "all done".  He is a climber!  In fact, he climbs the baby gate if he can get his toes in the little holes!  This sweet boy keeps us on our toes!

After the check up, we headed to Covington for a spur-of-the-moment trip to see Aunt Kathy and Jess at Nannie's.  They are in town for a short visit, and I wanted to head out with the boys to see them.  We had a wonderful dinner and visit. 

Ringing in 2013

The girls

5 out of 7 (1/2) of our boys

Miles (14 mo), Parker (15 mo), Will (17 mo), George (2 yrs), Pax (4 1/2 yrs)

We rang in 2013 at Suzie's house with some of the B's.  Brad prepared a fancy dinner of shrimp bisque, filet mignon, and creme brulee.  It was delicious!!!  We all spent the night and enjoyed a yummy breakfast the next morning.  I love this annual tradition, too!
