Happy Birthday Lucas & Thomas!

I’m a couple of days late with this, but Happy Birthday to my amazing boys, Thomas and Lucas! We are so proud of the little boys that you each have become. You are both such unique individuals bursting with personality.

Lucas—you are such a passionate, sensitive, loving, little boy. You are crazy about your little toy figures (Toy Story, Mickey Mouse, Spongebob, and Scooby Doo). You have also become a master at puzzles. It has been such a fun year watching you develop!

Thomas—you have such spunk and enthusiasm for life that it is infectious. You beam with a sense of humor that tends to get you into trouble, but also tends to get you out of it as well! You are such a strong little tyke! It is so much fun to watch you grow!

Your Dad and I love you both so much! You are both such amazing brothers, sons, and friends!

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend their little parties, for the wonderful gifts, and for the all of the wonderful birthday wishes!

Zoo, Kenz & Carly, & Fun with Mickey

Back tracking to Paul’s birthday, we celebrated it by taking the kids to the zoo. Before all of this freezing cold weather that we recently have experienced, we had a beautiful day that was nice enough to enjoy the outdoors. We had a great family day there. The kids loved being outside again! Then that evening, Paul, Brittani, Travis and I went out to dinner at the Outback and then went Laser Tagging! It was Legend….wait for it…..Dary! For those who watch “How I Met Your Mother,” I am sure you can appreciate that!

Happy 2nd Birthday Miss McKenzie & Miss Carly! I can’t believe all of these little girls are growing up so quickly! We had a big birthday weekend. We got to go to McKenzie’s birthday party which had all the works—piƱata, cake, presents! Lucas and Grandma Traci made it out to Carly’s birthday party and had a great time!

We also got to go to Mickey’s Magic Show today. That was a ton of fun. The production was awesome, and the kids all really enjoyed it. Kenzie, Cortney, Aiden, & Justine attended the show with us. It’s always a nice treat to have them come along!
