my big boy

Andrew turned 4 Thursday!

We celebrated with a family party. It was funny though because he asked me if his friends were coming over. :( It was hard to plan a party on or around his birthday this year because of Matt's schedule. Hopefully we'll be able to pull something off early August.

He did enjoy opening all his presents...

and eating his Diego cupcake!He had MDO that day so we took some cupcakes to share with his friends. I think he had a good birthday. He keeps asking me when his next birthday is. :) He takes after his mommy!!

I really can't believe it's been 4 years already. I keep thinking one more year and he'll be in Kindergarten! I always say I can't wait...my house will be so quiet, but I know when it gets here I'll be sad. He definitely keeps me on my toes with the silly things he says and does, the 500 questions he asks daily and the nonstop talking! He's a mess!

Today I found these on my camera...

I'm pretty sure Matt and I didn't take these!And then there are times he's quiet as a mouse!
Gotta love that boy!

4th

This was a very fun and busy weekend. I'm SERIOUSLY worn out!

Saturday morning started out our 4th at a parade in The Woodlands. The boys had fun, but it was SO hot!

They each got a flag, but weren't sure what they were supposed to do with them. I was surprised they didn't turn them into swords at some point!
Blake had the best seat!

The girls played with their flags while waiting.The boys played with Transformers.
After the parade we all napped and headed to a friend's for dinner. Between 5 couples there were 13 kids! They had fun tho.
Matt got some training in for his baby girl! :) Trinity was pretty content with him. Chowin' down!

Family pic!

When we got home, Kristi was at our house! I didn't get ANY pics. Kristi, you'll have to send me some! The boys were TOTAL show-offs for her!

At 9PM we headed to the fireworks! Andrew has been DYING to see fireworks, so we knew we had to go. They both really enjoyed it.

We also enjoyed our visit with Kristi and hope she'll come back in two weeks with Jill! Andrew cried when she left. :( It was nice to just chill and visit with her today.

And if you are wondering why Blake looks like...

that in every picture...I have no idea! He's been attached to his "bobbles" lately. He's worn them the past 2 days solid! Gotta love that boy!

MDO

The boys had MDO today. They are only going 6 times this summer...doesn't seem like much, but it's a much needed break for me!

I was hesitant to send Blake because he really needs his nap. They do nap up there, but I figured he wouldn't sleep. Well, was I wrong! He did great! His teacher said he had a great day and even napped! I'm so glad!

Andrew had a good day too. He hates resting tho, but he fell asleep! We've been so busy lately that I think all our running around and going to the pool caught up with him. He RARELY takes a nap! I can't wait for next Thursday! :)

Aren't their shirts ADORABLE! I had more people stop us about them. Cutesy Cloths always does an amazing job!

no nap for daddy

Matt had worked a night shift and instead of taking a nap in bed (because he didn't have to work that night), he thought he could catch a few zzzz's on the couch. WRONG!

No napping on the couch with these two wild boys around!!
