2nd Birthday party (almost a month later)

We had Stewart's big party the weekend after we moved. Then we went to mississippi and now a week after that trip I am finally getting around to uploading and posting all the pictures. We had a toy story theme party because he is pretty much obsessed with all 3 of the movies. He LOVES buzz lightyear. Before he was born kohls had their $5 stuffed toys with buzz light year and I bought it then. Well turns out his night isn't complete without sleeping with buzz. I decorated the house the day before his big party during nap time and his eyes were huge when he came down after nap to see it all. It of course rained that day as it did last year but thankfully we had the space to fit everyone and didn't have to scramble for a back up place. It was a little cozy but it was fine. We are so thankful and blessed by everyone who cam to celebrate his special day. I can hardly believe he is 2 now (well other than the almost daily tantrums that make me realize he's 2). I think this last week has made me realize how ready I am for him to be a big brother and I just wish somehow it would happen before he turns 3! :)

Road Trip in the VW

We traded our beloved Edge for a mini van back in March. As much as I said I would never do it well we did. I can tell you this....I don't know if I'll ever go back. Ha. It was the BEST road trip car we have ever had and of course the built in TV's help a ton to keep the little one busy. My grandparents did great too. I was expecting to stop a lot more than we did. Little man was showered with attention the whole long weekend and I got to do just a little shopping in there and eat my favorite fast food place. You'll notice a theme in the pictures below. My cousin's wedding was just as beautiful as her and we headed home the next morning. I think my husband missed us being home a ton while we were gone. I think there will be many more fun family road trips ahead but this time with daddy along!

One of the few times he slept

Riding the chessy mall train

SWIMMING! I heard mommy swimming about 100 times :)

Night #1 which was the worst...2.5 hours to get him to sleep.

He loves it as much as I do.

Me and my sweet little man

I drive car mommy......drive car...drive car. These are a few of his favorite things to say now

Love!

1st time playing in the playplace

1st hotel stay since the week he was born.

Sewing alone

Today I decided to tackle sewing my curtains. The last curtains that were sewn were done by my mom for little mans nursery. I'm not a sewer but I'm trying to teach myself. It was something I always wanted my mom to teach me. We did some basic things which thankfully is all I need to do this but I just wish she were here to do it with me. I just can't believe it's been almost 7 months. I'd like to think she's still watching and cheering me on from up there!
