Happy Birthday Austin!




Our Austin turned 5 on Monday and I feel like we've been celebrating all week! What could be better. It started out when Kelly and Kristen were in town and we celebrated Austin AND Kelly's birthdays. They each got their own birthday cake. Austin got a big Pokemon set from them and kept saying, "I love you one thousand times!"

Then,ON his actual birthday we decided to do "fondue". The kids weren't into it as much as Sean and I were, but still fun! Austin opened presents and then rented his all time favorite...Scooby Doo. I feel very blessed to be Austin's mom. He is definitely the comedian of the family. He loves to have fun and talk to anyone. He makes new friends wherever he goes. He's a blessing in my life. He still loves to snuggle...I hope that lasts forever.

Today, was the finale. It was his 1st birthday party with friends. We were going to have a pool party, but of course it rained all afternoon, so I had to call all moms and change the location to our house!!! I have to say it got a little crazy, but the kids had fun (especially shredding apart the pinata which I've had in our pantry for like 3 yrs. I'm so happy to get rid of it). I think the peak of the day was when we arrived home from Costco with the cake. Jake got out of the car and accidentally stepped in the cake! Fun! Jake's expression was priceless. If you noticed in the pictures I tried to piece it together and cover a part with plastic balloons. The kids still ate it.




HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUSTIN...WE LOVE YOU!

Happy Birthday, Austin! You are one of my favorite people in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD! You are also so blessed to have a resourceful, loving mom who can salvage birthday plans no matter is thrown her way. :) We have several Scooby Doo movies that you are welcome to borrow. I'll drop them by your house today.
