A visit

My parents, my Granny, and sister Madeline came to visit a few weekends ago. It was so nice to see them. My mom has been to our house before, but for every one else it was there first time seeing it.

Harry went right to his Gramps! And Gramps was nice enough to share his ice with him.

They both loved it!

 Granny Jo bought Calvin a tricycle for his birthday. Even Harry wanted to help put it together!

And then he wanted to ride it!

We went to Fort McHenry that Saturday and we all forgot to bring a camera. It was a really neat experience and we all had fun, but all the walking and the hot sun made some of us tired!

It was so nice to have them visit. They didn't stay for very long. I can't wait for August when I get to go down to see them!

Harry's Birthday

Tuesday we had a little party for Harry.

Mini cakes, pinwheels, and jelly beans! 

 Cake time!

Want some?

 I think he liked it!

one year

I can't believe that it's been a year already.

 I remember everything that happened that day. It's actually a little scary thinking about it now, but I would still do anything to make sure that Harry is happy and healthy. Until recently I used to go through all the what-ifs, but in the end it doesn't matter. Harrison was born just the way he was and I am eternally grateful for the doctors and nurses that were there that day to insure his safety and mine. I am so thankful that he was a healthy 7 pound 8 ounce, 19 1/2 inch baby. I wouldn't change a single thing about him or that day. They were both perfect.

I love that his daddy was there to comfort him.

 And I love his perfectly round little head.

And I love that my boys have each other as a brother and a friend.

Happy Birthday Harrison Brandon! We are so happy that you chose to live with us and be a part of our family. We love you!

Drinker

Calvin rescued a frog at from Grammy's pool on Saturday. Calvin named him Drinker. We let him keep him in a mason jar over night, but he agreed to set him free the next day at Grammy's house.

Cullen came along for the trip.

 Love these boys together! Best friends!

 So long Drinker. And here's to many more frogs this summer!

Sunday Best

I make sure that my boys look their best for church on Sundays, but I don't ever think to take pictures. So this past Sunday I decided to take some!

 Calvin looks so much like Nick in this picture.

I love these boys!

Super Hero Party

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a Super Hero Party!

 Every Super Hero needs to hydrate! We had water bottles featuring the Hulk, Iron Man, Batman, Spider Man, Captain America, and Wolverine.

 We also had red, blue, green, and yellow cupcakes with Oreo crumbs on top!

 "Super Pops" and masks as favors.

 Everyone came dressed in their super hero gear!

 We were so happy to have Debby, Linda, Grammy, and our surprise guest, Dave!

 Mason had the coolest Spider Man shirt!

 The kids had so much fun playing and the weather was wonderful!

 Love this goofy boy!

 Calvin's Batman pose!

 It was a great day to be a 4 year old Super Hero!
