Happy 1st Birthday Brendan!

Tonight we celebrated Brendan's 1st birthday. we got him this pull apart cupcake cake for us, and he got to have his very own cake to do with what he pleased for free and boy did he!!! I was expecting a mess, but boy he had a ball with this cake! LOL .Thomas was nowhere NEAR like this! He was a gentleman compared to the mess monster tonight! But oh was it funny and camera worthy! Just too funny!! After we cleaned up and opened presentsthen took a bath and had some milk and off to bed. Happy birthday cookie I love you! 1 year, where does the time go? He was just born! I feel so old!

Birthday In Training

Today we put Brendan in training so to speak { Tom gave him a hostess cupcake } as if he didn't need it- I was biting my nails wondering if he wasn't going to break out in an allergy with chocolate or not being the nervous mother that I am sometimes and just bit the bullet and took pictures.. and prayed - he was fine thank God and just loved it up the pig! Whew! Wednesday will be the Big 01 and looks like I'm gonna need a mat for the floor as half of it was squashed in his hi chair and his pants, the other was on the floor and his hands and his body, but oh did he have fun!!

Family Photos

We got our Church photos back today. We actually thought we were just going to have our photos taken for the Church directory- go in , sit down , take a picture, then we were out of there, but turned out wound up taking a whole photo session for the whole family which wound up coming out quite well, so we wound up updatin our family photo with the new guy and added in MIL as well and she hasn't taken a photo in years either so we treated her to an updated mugshot as well for brother and sister in law who appreciated that! here's how they came out! . heres the family with and without mom, Brendan and Thomas, then me n Tom, and Mom in Law -w/ some wallets and 5 x7 for family

Spring Cuts

The boys got their spring haircuts yersterday. Just today I'm getting to post about it. Brendan was SOO good! He sat so still In the Barber's chair- All three boys. Daddy then Thomas, then Brendan all got their haircut yesterday at the Barber's. - he sat nice and still and let her do her thing.- there was a lady barberwho did Tom and Brendan and a man barber who did Thomas' hair. They both did a great job I think! espscially with a baby! He was a little fidgety with the buzzer around the ears , so Tom had to make faces like a fish with his sunglasses in his mouth to keep him still but hey you gotta do what ya gotta do for a great cut right? here's my handsome men.. Thomas.. and Brendan

My Lil Treat

I just got this new Body spray From Vicoria's Secret- And OMG! It smells SOO GOOD! I passed it up a week or so ago while I was getting some bras while i was using my gift card I was finally cashing in from Christmas {Took me long enough! } and put it back after testing it and was so mad I did -It was only 20 bucks Sometimes I wonder why I gotta be such a cheapy when it comes to things like that when i'm spending 50 bucks on a bra and can't spend an extra 20 on a bottle of awesome smelling bodyspray on myself to pamermyself! I wonder aboutmyself sometimes! I'm worthit - Lord knows that! I went back for it and am SOO glad I did! This is called Tahitian Vanilla Flower and it is just MMM !! Smells SOOO NICE! Everyone deserves a lil pampering to pick themselves up here n there so here I am !

Splishin' & A Splashin'

Tonite we tried Brendan in the tub with his brother and he had a ball! he usually takes a bath in the tub that he got when he was a baby, but as he seems to be growing / grown out of itand I need to get a new one this weekend, I put him in the big tub and held him as i washed him but he seemed to do a great job sitting up all by himself. anyway, although I want to get him a seat like I had with Thomas when he was younger,What was that called? safety first? first steps ? The blue seat with the suction cups on the bottom.. worked well wit Thomas so why not go with what you know works well right?Brendan had a ball splashin' and getting me soaked {while I brought my camera before we took our bath for such moments}while i snapped a couple pics then went back to keeping a watchful hand on him. I'd just let him be, but he;s too young and you don't want to tempt fate you know? so, it's off to Walmart again for some duly needed baby supplies {plus it gives me a good reason to go shopping too!} ;)
