Birthday Weekend

Ok here's the recap of Weiland's birthday weekend.

Friday he brought cupcakes to his kindergarten class. As you can tell it's been a long time since I"ve done any thing crafty, I went a little over the top for kindergarteners but hey.



Then the REAL birthday day. He popped up and of course wanted to open his presents. And I knew if he didn't Holland would beat him to it so he got right to it.



Thank you grandma and grandpa Crabtree for these great books. Story time now is all about the animals and he's learned some pretty interesting stuff.


Thank you also to grandma and grandpa Sillito for the new scooter, what's better than getting exactly what you ask for. He can't wait to go out and ride it with Quinton. Luckily the weather has been pretty good so he might actually get out there.


And then Sunday we had friends and family over for cake and ice cream. This year he wanted a dog cake so I did my best. It went pretty well except I ran out of frosting from the first batch and when I made up the next it was lighter and softer so it did exactly match but hey he was happy.


The finished product. It's a good thing I got this picture before because we came home from church and the tail had fallen off and I could not get it to stick again.


Weiland really liked the tounge.



Here we are singing to him.


I told him to make a wish so he goes ok hold on a minute, and thinks really hard before blowing out the candles. (this is him thinking really hard)


I was SO bummed yesterday. We went to the museum for the dog exhibit and my camera wouldn't work so I have only a couple of pictures I took with my phone to document that outing. He had a great time and enjoyed playing in the kids area more than seeing the exhibit, oh well, just glad he had fun.

So that is Weiland 6th birthday weekend. We had a great time and look forward to many more birthdays. I'm curious to see how many animal cakes I'll have to make before he grows out of it.

Wish dad could have been with us to celebrate, sure miss him! Hope this helps him feel like he was there. Love ya babe!

Happy Birthday Weiland!!!


How did my kids get to be so big. Weiland is now 6 and I can hardly believe it. I remember finding out I was pregnant with him, it was a bit overwhelming since Quinton was only 6 months old. But I have loved having my two boys so close in age, they play great together most of the time and I hope they will be always be best friends as they grow up. Weiland is such a sweet boy. He can be very thoughtful and generous as well as mischievious. He is a HUGE animal lover and still loves to pretend to be one. I am so thankful he is part of our family. We love you Wei !!!!!

It's Weiland's birthday weekend, and I mean weekend. He brought cupcakes to school yesterday to start off the weekend celebrations. Today his actual birthday he wanted to go to the museum where they are having a Wolf to Woof exhibit., and being Weiland and loving animals we have to go. And to complete the birthday weekend tomorrow we're having family over for cake and ice cream. This year he wants a dog cake so wish me luck. Lots of fun pictures to follow.

all about me!

So a good friend of mine is a photographer and we were playing around trying to get a shot of me for Todd's desk at work (since I don't EVER take pictures of me). She does such a good job and is such a great friend to do this for me. I got a couple that turned out ok, mostly I'm posting these so all can see my new color. I really like my dark hair and probably should have done this sooner.

on the move and as cute as ever!

She finally let go and went for it. She's been walking for about two weeks now and doing great. She can get up from the floor now with out any help and she's loving her independence. I can hardly believe we are to this point already, such a big girl!
