Better late than never?!

Ok so I know April has come and gone and here I am just getting pics up of the bday party. Cut this prego a little slack. It was a fun party, though I could have done w/o the snow! I guess that's what you ask for when you have a party on the first weekend in April. Enjoy the pics!!



I loved his birthday crown!! P.S. This pic was taken when he was EXACTLY 1 year and 9 mins :)


Since it was snowing we had to move the giant pinata to the garage, btw it was a Winnie the Pooh pinata. Marty and Chris really loved moving the pinata so the kids missed. The problem came when EVERYONE had their turn, even the men, and the thing still wouldn't break. I tell you I knew that Mexican store would be worth the trip. The pinata cost only $16 and I'm pretty sure all my kids could fit in there.

Robbie wasn't into hitting the pinata so we were in charge of giving the bat to the next person.

Nik was SO ready for the candy and prizes...little did he know that there was NOOO rush

I love this picture of my cousin Lydia, nice hit. In reality all she accomplished was breaking the rope which Chris and Marty just retied and the "fun" continued.

Doesn't this cake look so good?! In case you're wondering the theme was Mickey (for Robbie) and Tinker Bell (for Sophia).

Even her cake match with the Tinker Bell colors....I'm glad I have a daughter to appreciate the finer things in life!!

I LOVE this pic of Robbie and Chris!!

Poor Soph, she couldn't even tryout her new bike thanks to the beautiful weather.

men vs. women

This week I've been on vacation and it's been wonderful not having to do anything or go anywhere. The week has also revealed some shocking differences between men and women. My husband can clean like nobody's business. He could clean 3 rooms to my 1. I think it has to do with men's ability to focus on a single item. When I clean the kitchen I start on the dirty dishes... oh the milk needs to be put away... sweep the floor... did I turn off the water... Robbie's screaming and needs a toy...is Soph making her lunch for tomorrow...oh right I was doing the dishes. In this first year of marriage I think Chris and I need to focus on our strengths like his doing of the laundry and mine of folding it and putting it away in order to have a working house. Don't get me wrong, I totally know where women excel, kids. I could never take a picutre while my son looked like this.

Kinda pulls at your heartstrings doesn't it?

Messy baby

I don't know why I even bother cleaning up after Robbie....he get's dirtier, faster, everytime. He used to be a clean boy with nice clothes and soft hair. Last night after dinner I told Chris I just want to throw him in the tub. It reminded me of the boy I used to nanny for, Quinn. Thank goodness they had centralvac. Yesterday I had a clean baby to snuggle with and this morning, well I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Let me just say this, it was our first goaround with animal crackers. I don't know how he knew they would taste good or be my worst nightmare, but the kid was screaming for them before I could even open up the container.

Notice the piece in his eyelash.....
