church party!

So there really wasn't a party at our church, but it was the Summer Social!  We just call it a church party:)  The boys had so much playing games at Tiger Town and I had so much fun eating strawberry shortcake!  It was a beautiful evening filled with food, games and fun:)

Declan "fishing"...he caught a pirate patch that once he put it on, he didn't take it off!  He also caught 4 little lizards:)

 Conall was not sure about this fishy business!

 Dad and Declan mini golfing:)

 Declan's strategy was to put the ball a couple of inches away from the hole and then putt it in!

 And here's the pirate patch...arrgh!

 He loved going in the blow up obstacle course too!

 At the dunk tank!  We asked him what his favorite part of the night was and he told us "getting the girl in the water"!



"i like tella"

is what he told me when I asked him what he was doing!  I had given him graham crackers with his nutella, but after eating them he decided he would just dip his fingers in instead!  Nice buddy, thanks:)

happy dada day!

Happy father's day!  Thank you BC for being such an amazing dad to our boys.  You are so patient and loving, always up for playing and giving face toots!  I love how excited the boys get when they hear you open the door.  You are such an excellent role model for them and your love never goes unnoticed.  We love you!

Here's the proud papa with our two little guys:) 

 We woke dad up to give him his present!  Don't worry he wasn't too mad:)

 Boo 2 and dada:)

 Declan checking out the card he picked out!

Oh my gosh, Boo 2 you're 1 today!  Wow, did your first year of being our little guy and Declan's little brother go by fast!  You amazed us everyday with how quickly you developed and learned new things.  You crawled way too early and were off walking by 9 months!  Your 6 little teeth make the happiest of smiles:)  When we ask where your belly and head are you can show us by patting them, not at the same time though!  You just recently started using the sign for more, of course you use it when you want more to eat:)  You are loving the pool and splashing in the water.  We love how you turn and back up when you want to sit in our lap to read a book or just to plop down.  You adore your big brother, sometimes too much...he doesn't always like when you grab him.  You have found your voice...if you're not babbling "mama" or "dada" you're are screaming really loud with excitement, of if you're in the car you're just screaming (really, a whole year of riding in the car and you still scream?).  You love to eat black beans, applesauce, yogurt, crackers and veggie sticks.  Oh, and goldfish of course!  It sure would be nice if you'd start sleeping through the night, but we know that will come (we hope very soon).  We wish you the happiest of first birthdays and hope you have a terrific time being 1!!  You are a blessing to us all, we love, love, love you Boo 2!

I will update stats later today after their well visit:)
