Birthday Boy...the "real" day

I can't believe my sweet boy..my first baby...is 8 years old today. We had a fun day! After church we headed to Mimi and Papa's, then went to lunch at Weston's favorite place, Buffalo Wild Wings. The boy LOVES hot wings...barbeque wings that is! Weston has relly grown up so much this past year. He looks so much older too, maybe it's the "big" teeth! He is such a fun, sweet kid, but it breaks my heart to peices that my babies are growing up so fast.

Weston...here is what you are up to these days.....you love to PLAY!!!! and you love that is summer break, you love hot wings, root beer, coke, cinnamon toast crunch, bologna sandwiches, spicy chips, cheese, popsicles, spaghetti and garlic bread, skateboarding, riding your bike, playing with Paige & Colton, Luke, Will, Matthew, and Kolby, and sometimes Gracie (bless her heart). You like to stay up late, and watch TV, especially Zeke and Luther, Mystery Hunters, Phinneas and Ferb, Zack & Cody, Victorious, and Good Luck Charlie. You like to read (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Warriors), and love everything Tony Hawk. You still sleep with us (i know, i know), and say you will until you are 90! (Which is fine with Mommy!)

We love you SO SO much buddy!!! Happy Birthday!!

talking

Everytime I try to get Chloe saying her few little words she stops. I finally got her to do it this time!

13 months and a big girl car seat

Chloe is actually 13 1/2 months old now, and a few days ago we put her in her big girl car seat. I was so thankful I kept Gracie's car seat even though we weren't planning on having another baby. They are so expensive so I was happy not to have to buy a new one. At first I put her backwards because she is still pretty small, but that kind of car seat just doesn't do well backwards...especially if you have a tall husband who drives your van quite often. So I turned her facing forward after about 2 days, and she was so excited! She didn't really know what to think, and kept pointing to the tv. It was so funny! I think W and G were just as excited about it!

Oh Bitty girl...you are SO funny and keep us on our toes!
