Party time!

For C's birthday, we got a big ol' water slide. B and I decided that the party was a success...I think because B had so much fun on the water slide with his brother. Everything was pretty low key. We got a party tray of nuggets from Chick-fil-a and a cookie cake. C got some great gifts including a couple puzzles and new CARS stuff :)



AM wasn't into the big Ole' slide, but she managed to have fun!

Adults on the deck...laughing a B and B-rad's crazy antics.
Just one quick taste...

Happy 3rd Birthday to Mr. C!!

Today our little boy became a man...Well, not really, but it did seem so weird to keep saying he was two. Three definitely fits. I hope he had a good birthday. We sung to him when he got up and he opened some presents that had arrived in the mail.

We sent him to school with cupcakes for his class and they gave him a crown. Granny picked him up and he got MORE cupcakes. Came home just long enough to play with the balloons Gramma and Papa sent. Then, B took C to an Astros game for a dinner of popcorn and one of Daddy's nachos. We are having a party for him on Sat...with a giant slip-n-slide...ya know...normal stuff.

One week ago today...

We were carpooling home from the 2nd annual Aggie BBQ that was held in p-town. Last year we hosted a small BBQ at our house(this was pre-blog), but there were only 5 kids there and the youngest was my little AM at just 3 months old. This year, there were twice as many kids.
I made everyone get in a self-timer group shot...my fav! I feel like I choked though because it turned out a little blurry. AVu did what he could to repair it in photo shop, but alas, I think I need a more expensive camera...sigh...

You may be asking yourself, "Self, how did she get all those kids to sit so well on the stairs?" The answer my friends...cookies! There were a few arms of assistance, but mainly my use of bribery strikes again!!

In case you don't remember...

Before we painted our house, it was pink...okay, maybe mauve. I posted a before picture to go along with the post-painting picture!

I wasn't going to post this, but...

I couldn't stop thinking about how old and out of touch I am already. Therefore, I am posting it!

Could I have 4 kids?

Yesterday, we went to our old roommates new house for a bit of swimming. Two of C's favorite friends came with us so their mom could get some work done on the house. The morning was fun, but I was in "crisis mode" the majority of the time.

We had a snack of yogurt raisins. Swimming make you so hungry.

Now, we are having a snack of goldfish. Swinging makes you so hungry.
Here C is swinging with his favorite person in the whole entire world...and that is not an exaggeration. C started off the day by causing his self-proclaimed BFF to wear a band-aid on his head after an unfortunate boat throwing incident.
Lunch started off with all the kids sitting with their feet in the pool. When the splashing was halted due to dry clothes, they decided to move to the table to eat :)

Did I mention AM loves corn?!
