Happy Birthday Amelia!

Andrew's buddy, Amelia turned 2 this past weekend and had a great Elmo themed birthday party at her house. Andrew was in heaven with Cars, Elmo, a choo-choo to ride, chips and cake! What more can a boy ask for?!?! I didn't get many pictures, especially of the birthday girl....these toddlers sure don't stay still for long!

Rain Rain Go Away......

These are from last week but I haven't had much time to post them. We were stuck inside all day because of the rain, but Andrew kept begging me to go outside. I told him that he had to wear rain boots and he agreed! He loved stomping around in the rain and "marching"!

Chimps, Cheetos and Chasing!

As a friend reminded me, we do know this zoo like the back of our hand by now. Andrew wakes up asking for it and is so happy when we're there so it's hard to say no. We have a membership and it's so close to home, so Lara and I took the kids after MDO on Thurs. The had the most fun just running around on this platform they found, chasing each other and pretending to be monsters! As you can see in the pictures, the Cheetos were a big hit too!!

My "Safe" Dancer

Andrew dances like a wild man, so when he was asking for Nickelback (Ickyback) he also requested his safety goggles!

Mine Mine Mine

My sister-in-law, Jenny, came to visit us this weekend with her 2 boys, Zach and Alex. They drove all the way from Michigan to see her family in Clarksville then drove another 3 hours to come see us! Alex and Andrew are only 1 day apart and haven't seen each other since they were 3 months old. We had such a great time and it was so fun to see Andrew playing with his cousin who's the same age, I just wish they lived closer. It was so funny how much their little bodies looked alike, same exact weight, height, build, feet and even toes! They played in typical 2 year old fashion, by screaming that everything was "mine" and taking toys from one another. We broke up several fights but for the most part we just laughed and took pictures!

Fear Not Party

Anyone who knows me has been hearing me talk about this party for a month now. My friend/neighbor was sweet enough to host it at her house and invite 150 people over for a huge backyard party! We took Alex, Andrew and Zach and they all had a great time. After the HULK crashed the party by running through the yard screaming, Andrew pretty much stayed attached to my leg the rest of the time! Thank you so much Steph, all your hard work paid off, it was a great time!

Andrew saw Alex getting ready to wear his Scooby Doo costume and threw a fit wanting to wear it himself. Keep in mind, Andrew has never even seen Scooby Doo, but wanted to wear it because Alex had it. Alex loves Elmo, so he didn't mind trading costumes for the night!

Happy Halloween

Andrew had a great Halloween and came home with lots of candy and a sugar buzz! We met up with a few of his friends on our street and went to about 10 houses. It was so fun watching him go up to doors by himself, say "cook or creet", spend 20 minutes picking out 1 piece of candy then saying "kink you" and walking away!!

Chad scared the hell out of our child with this mask. I had no idea he had bought it so it took me by surprise too. Poor Andrew kept saying "monster's nice" "monster's all gone" after Chad took it off.
