Happy Birthday Emily & Claire!

Yep you got it, we went to another birthday party. This time it was for my best friend Tina's twin girls Emily and Claire who are like family to us since Brant plays with her girls more than any other kids except the ones at his preschool. They had a Halloween themed swimming party at Aquakids and Brant's swim teacher was one of the lifeguards so he really enjoyed seeing Mr. Brad again. Here are some pictures from the party of them having a blast in the pool, the girls cool Halloween cakes, and the girls with their cool bat balloons. Happy Birthday Emmy and Clairebear we love you!

Let's Go Rangers!

Brant was feeling much better the day of Riley's party, and his fever broke that morning so even though he didn't get to go to the birthday party he was well enough to go out for a guys afternoon out to a Ranger game with Daddy, Grandpa, and some of Daddy's friends from work. He had a great time he also got a baseball, and a signed baseball hat. I made Daddy take the camera to take pictures while they were at the game and here are some pictures from the Ranger game.

Happy 1st Birthday Riley!

Yep, another birthday party. Brant wasn't able to go to Riley's first birthday party since he was still contagious from his upper respiratory infection and ear infection that kept him home from school the day before. I went by myself and helped take pictures for Mo so she wouldn't have as much to worry about and she could just enjoy Riley's first birthday party. Riley had an adorable monkey theme and he got his birthday cake from Creative Memories the same place that made our wedding cake and Brant's first birthday cake. They did a fantastic job and both of the the cakes were both yummy and adorable. Riley was hesitant about the cake, but once he got a little help putting his hand into the cake he started to get going and had a blast making a big mess. He wasn't so thrilled when it was time to clean him up, and he threw a big fit while his Mommy was cleaning him up in the bathtub. Here are some pictures to show off Riley's first birthday. I'm sorry Brant couldn't make it, but I'm glad I was there Riles! We love you!

Happy Birthday Elliot!

Yep, we like birthday parties! Brant and Mommy love an excuse to buy presents and eat cake! Today we drove quite a long way to go to Elliot's birthday party just over an hour each way. Elliot is the son of Daddy's best friend Mike, and he came to Brant's last party so we were happy to return the favor again this year. Elliot's party was at a Peter Piper's which is like a Chuckie Cheese without the characters. Brant had a blast, and so did Mommy and Daddy. Mommy even hit the jackpot at one of the machines and won 672 tickets in one shot! Brant got a new football, a slinkie and a blow-up hammer that squeaks with all the tickets that Mommy won for him and the few that he and Daddy won together. He loved playing the car games with Daddy where he got to help steer and the shooting game playing with the gun, as well as the plain rides and just the slide and play area they had that didn't cost any tokens. I'm glad that we went because we all had such a great time. Happy Birthday Elliot, and thanks for inviting us in on the fun! Here are some pictures from our fun time today.
