two...

as hard as it is for me to wrap my head around it...blake has officially turned 2!
 he snuggled in his big boy bed as a lil 1 year old
and woke up with his crazy bed head as a big 2 year old!
all his practice blowing out "pretend" candles this week payed off when he blew out his birthday yogurt breakfast candle!
birthday boy carried on his day with some fun at the children's museum
and a birthday cupcake and birthday gifts...
happy #2 blakie-blake!  we love you!

winter or spring?

winter weather equals craziness! we got outside after school this morning for some spring fever baseball fun...
did i forget to mention that talen is finally old enough for t-ball this year and his baseball bag has been packed since we were informed that 4 year olds could play this year?  look-out, cook-out!
blakie's just another "field rat" in training...soon enough he will be out there too!
and on a fantasic note, coming from a proud mumma, this boy came home with straight A's this week!!
love these boys!

thirty...

i was very happy to have a close-knit birthday party to celebrate a special 30 years for a dear friend.
a child-hood friend whom i battled against on the basketball court in elementary school and then soon joined forces with when we were brought together in middle school.
a friend who everyone should have that no matter what the situation may be, you know she is always going to be there for you.
a friend who your mom actually allows to sleep over on school nights and willingly buys extra food for at the grocery store.
a friend who goes to the same school as you but lives in another area code which results in a very expensive phone bill that your mom highlights all your calls on and has to invest in "circle dialing".
a friend who you get elected as "most athletic" with in the eighth grade yearbook, beating out all the boys in your class.
a friend who your parents are just as sad to see go off to college as their own child.
a friend who dresses up like a clown for your son's birthday party :)
a friend who stood by me as a bride and i stood by her as a bride...
who i have watched turn into a loving wife and wonderful mother.
happy birthday jamie!
