Noah's Birthday Festivities
Well, my baby boy is two years old now! I just cannot get over how fast time flies once you have children. We have been really busy over the last few days helping our little man celebrate his special day and are finally starting to recuperate from a festive weekend that started on Thursday.
Thursday was Noah's actual birthday. We started him off bright and early opening up his birthday present from us before Kaden went to school. Because Kaden is gone in the mornings for preschool and Patrick is gone in the afternoon for class, we decided to let him open it when everyone would be here :) He got his very own train set, and he absolutely loves it (and so does Kaden)! We spent the day around the house and went to Copper River to eat birthday dinner that evening. Patrick met us after class, and his brother, A.J., was able to come too. The boys love A.J., so it's always a treat when he's able to come to things! After dinner we walked over to Marble Slab for some ice cream (because my 3 tries at a dump truck birthday cake were all epic failures) and then headed home for baths and bedtime.
On Saturday we hosted Noah's birthday party at my mom's house. We went with a construction theme this year because Noah loves dump trucks and diggers, and I really think it turned out cute! The kids got to decorate hard hats and then they got to build things with the blocks and knock them over with trucks. We ate Noah's yummy (store-bought) birthday cake and then he got to open presents. We were really happy that our family was able to celebrate Noah's special day with us and so appreciative of all the gifts given to him. He is definitely having a blast with all of them now! We had so much fun celebrating Noah's "birthday weekend" and are going to relax for a little while before things get cranked back up for Kaden's birthday next week!

The Circus!
Well, friends, I'm not going to lie. The reason I haven't updated since LAST YEAR is not because we have been super busy... it's because I have been super slack! I'll spare you a long update from the past month and just stick to the present :)
I have been really busy getting things ready for both boys' birthday parties this year. Now that Kaden is older and has his little set of friends we aren't going to make him and Noah share a party. He is really excited about having a party with his friends, so it's totally worth it to me. I still can't believe that Kaden will be 4 and Noah will be 2! I don't have babies anymore! They are both such a joy (most of the time :) and I love watching all the developments they make and making lots of fun memories.
Last night we got to the opportunity to go to the opening night of the circus at the Colonial Life Arena, and we had a great time! We took the boys to eat at Chick-Fil-A downtown which was a treat for Kaden because he loves downtown Columbia and all the "tall buildings!" We got to the arena with enough time to spend a fortune on little light-up toys and to see some of the pre-show. I usually like to spend the big bucks on seats in the first couple of rows but decided to go with the "cheap seats" this year, and I am so glad I did! We were literally two rows behind all the expensive seats and could see everything! The boys were pretty much mesmerized the entire show and loved all the animals, acrobats, and the clowns! When I went to check in on Kaden during naptime today, I found that he had stacked his Little Tikes drum on top of the big bucket we keep his toys in and was jumping off of that onto his little trampoline - I kid you not! I think we have a future circus act in the family- yikes!
Again, I apologize for taking so long to update. This month ought to bring you lots of updates because, like I said, we have TWO birthdays to celebrate! Ya'll take care and enjoy the pictures!
Kaden appeasing me with a half smile :)
Noah's new thing is his "big smile." He will walk right up to you and just grin (even if you aren't taking a picture)!
The poor circus elephant :( I am by no means a tree-hugger or anything, but I felt so bad for these animals!
Mama and her boys :)
Daddy cheesin' with the boys
