Birthday Marathon

Well Little A has had quit the birthday celebrations. The fun began last week when we had the Johnson's b-day party. We do a party once a month so we celebrated Little A, Adam's, and 2 of his cousins' birthdays all together. He was so excited to go and open present and eat cake. He got the cutest gifts and a fun little table and chair that he loves to play, eat, and do everything at now.

Then last Sunday my side of the family gathered together at our house. Little A loves cowboys and farm animals right now so we had a cowboy party. Here are some pictures of some of the guest. Little A is so loved by so many people. Thanks everyone.
Little A cake was a horsey cake my hubby did the most of the decorating of the cake and little A thought it was so cool and could not wait to blow out the candles. He has be carrying 2 candles around the last few days getting ready to blow out his candles on his birthday. I am not sure what this closing his eyes when you say smile thing is?

Some more of the cute guest. I love that Sam dressed up for the party she is so fun, she never misses the chance to dress up. The bottom picture is the cake serving staff got to love family.

Gifts were next and all I can say is if Little A never got another toy he would have plenty for his life. He got an array of different fun things from puzzles, trucks, cars, and more.

Kim was in charge of taking pictures and he took a lot of great pictures. While looking through them I found the the next three of the men balding I am not sure what we so trying to say? Also the other one is my hubby opening his gifts we also celebrated his b-day too.

This morning Little A was able to choose what he wanted for breakfast so we had blue waffles. After we went upstairs to play with his new toys. My mom gave him this tunnel/tent/ball thing and he did not think much of it in the box so we put it up after he went to bed and this morning he was so excited when he was it. When he got to the top of the stairs he said WOW out loud.

Tonight we had pizza his favorite meal and then went to the store to pick us our gift for him. We had ordered him a waggon and it took a lot longer to get here then planned. We also had cupcakes and he got to blow out a candle again for a third time.

Of course we had to put the waggon together and take rides in it. We finally convinced him to take his stuff animals for rides instead of mommy and daddy.

P.S. You know you are prego when you are wearing the same shirt at both of your son's birthday parties.

Year of Andrew!

Well another year has come and gone and Little A just keeps getting bigger and full of life. He is such a joy to have around and bring our family so much joy. I look back now and it is crazy to see how much he has grown and changed.

12 months- he was just learning to walk and love any toy that he could pull him self up to and stand a play with.
13 months- he started to move around better and love to daddy and mommy.
14 months- he started to get into everything that was at his level and was too young to understand that it was not okay.
15 months- he started his journey of living on a construction site and playing in the dirt. He spent a lot of time dragging a stick hooked to twin around the sidewalk of the new house.
16 months- he starting to love to go over to the shop and she grandpa and the uncles and don't forget the doughnuts. He started to love everything with wheels.
17 months- he started to have more an attitude and wanting mommy all the time.
18 months- he started nursery and church become enjoyable again and was the center of attention everywhere he went.
19 months- he got his first hair cut and love to run instead of walk.
20 months- the house was still being build and he was a fisherman just like his daddy for Halloween.
21 months- the house finished and he got his big boy room, and a new house which brought more confidence. He gave up the binki during the day and only get it at night.
22 months- he rules and love playing with his friends and has a great imagination. He also love to cook with mommy.
23 months- he now thinks that he is as old as his 11 year old boy cousins and can do anything they can.

90% Sure

So last week we went to the doctor for our big ultra-sound wanting to leave knowing if we would have a little girl or a little boy this June. Lets just say our little one did not want to help us out at all in this process. Legs crossed with a foot in the way. So we are lucky that there are educated people out there. Our ultra-sound tech said she is 90% sure it is a GIRL but, to not go out and buy pink paint yet. She said that if it was a boy we should have been able to still see something else down in that area. My ultra-sound picture are not great at all so I was every disappointed with that. Our little one even had her hands in front of her face so we could not even get a good picture of the face. They will do another ultra-sound April 7th to try again.

Adam's Birday Day the BIG 28!

Yesterday was Adam's Birthday. We are going to celebrate with family next week so we had a little party with just the three of us. This is the first birthday that we have had in our new house and it was fun having a space to hang a banner and set everything up. I baked a small cake and Little A was a great help with decorating it he added all the sprinkles and I think the whole bottle would have been on the cake if I did not take it away. He was so proud that he helped with dad's cake. He just keep walking around waiting for daddy to come home saying "Happy birthday dad" and then when he did get home he would not say it, funny kid. We went to dinner at the Copper Mill which is always yummy and then came home for cake and ice cream. Little A helped his daddy blow out the candles.
It was then time for the present. Adam has wanted a Wii ever since they came out. I have not thought we needed one so I would not let him get one or buy him one or any holiday. Well a few months ago he finally decided that he did not need a Wii anymore and he could wait until Little A was older to get something. That being said I decided that it was time for him to get his Wii. So my parents and I bought him one for his birthday and I think the expressions on his face tell more than I could in writing. He told me while he was setting it up that it was the first gaming system he had ever owned he never had one as a child. Let's just say that it is already been played a lot and we might have to set some restrictions.

What is a post with out some funny pictures of Little A. The first one is his new way to eat treats and crackers no hands he thinks that it is so funny. The next one is his new fav. place to sit in the house. I think he looks so old just lounging there. The bottom one Adam took, I had to go to church early one Sunday and I guess Little A wanted his snow hat and gloves, and cowboy boots on to ride his horse what a silly boy.

Poll

Take a minute and vote in out Poll to tell us if you think we are going to have a baby girl or boy. We will be finding out on the 10 and we are letting our families know on V-day so the poll is open until then. I was going to add a third choose just to see if anyone agrees with Little A and thinks I am going to have a baby Dino.

New homes first big party!

When we finished our house many of my Aunts and cousins wanted to know when they were going to be able to come and see it. I love my new house so I was excited to get to show it off. My cousin Brent is getting married so I offered to host the Bridal Shower for his future wife Katie, this way I only had to clean my house one and everyone could come and see it. It ended up going every smoothly I was not sure how to set things up but now I am ready for my next party I have figured the best way to set up the food and the chairs so bring on the fun. I stole some of the picture from my sister Jodi's Blog. I love the one of my Grandma and her only living sibling. It was fun to have the to of them together.

Little A has really taken to becoming quit the cook. He loves to spread his own peanut better and to help with dinner every night. Last night I was making cupcakes for some friends and of course there Little A was helping. I tried not to let him taste the batter but as soon as he did it was all over. I gave in and even let him lick one of the beaters. He was a little confused because I would usually not let him do that. After they were baked we let him have one and I frosted it but that was not enough he need to put sprinkles (spinkies as he calls them) on top before he would eat it. I thank my sister Kim for that because she let the grandkids decorate sugar cookies at my mom's a while back and he fell in love with them that day.

Different Personalities

Little A has been cracking me up the last few mornings when it is time to leave to go to work. Yesterday we had to stop by my dad's shop before work and when I told him that he got all excited and started saying papa boots, over and over until we saw him. As you can see they are cowboy boot and he would not let me pull his pants out from inside them and I could not talk him into wearing anything else on his feet. This works though because the little girls at the babysitters house call him cowboy, I think they think that is his name. Today we found his hat. His has not been a big hat fan in the past so I did not think it would last but he would not take it off until nap time. I thought it was so funny because I told him that uncle Ryan wears his hat backwards and that daddy wears it frontwards. So it would switch it around and they call himself either Ry or daddy. We have a bag of toys that we have for the car only they were in the house due to switching of cars and Little A wanted to wear it like a backpack and do it all by him self. Here his is waiting for me to open the door to leave to go to work. I love the different faces he has in each of the pictures.

Some other things that I want to write so I do not forget them. If you ask Little A what is in mommies belly he will tell you a Baby Rharr, which would be a baby dinosaur.

The other night we were having pizza for dinner and it was Little A turn to say the prayer. We are still at the stage were I say one word and then he says it. While when we were blessing the food when I said food, he gave me a look like mom I am not the stupid and said Pizzie (Pizza) instead, why would we want to bless anything else on the table.
