Redding's Birthday Celebration

Pictures from Redding's birthday!
Better late than never...

Not too sure about the candle
Ummmm...No, my Cupcake, Daddy!

Ooh, Leyton scored a new camera from Mimi Sharon and Pop

Redding's pre-birthday birthday (Practice Round)

Redding celebrated his birthday 3 times. Once at home with Mimi and Geep (the day before his birthday), once at school with his "friends" (I think the teachers ate all the cupcakes), and once at home with Leyton, Daddy, and Mommy.


These pictures are from his home celebration with Mimi and Geep in attendance...









ENOUGH!

Aquarium Time

As previously mentioned, we have an aquarium located 5 minutes from our house. We visit every weekend and the kids love it. Here are a few pics from our latest aquarium excursion...

Mimi and Geep visit!

Mimi and Geep came up for a visit last weekend. The weather was actually nice for a change.

Dennis and I had a great date night. We went to a restaurant in town and had fresh, local oysters and then went out for ice cream. I think we were home by 9:00. We are old.

We are lucky enough to have a great children's museum and an aquarium 5 minutes from our house. We visit them every weekend and this weekend was no exception.

Thanks for the visit Mimi and Geep! We love it when you are here!

Splish-Splash









Leyton received a very cool bath set for his birthday from Mimi Sharon and Pop so he HAD to take a bath to try out his new bath fizzes and shower gel. Even though Leyton less than loves bath time, he decided to take a bath at 7:30 am.
I left the bathroom to get a towel for Leyton and when I came back, Redding was in the bathtub with Leyton! Fully Dressed, still in his pajamas! I didn't even hear him slither his way past me and into the bathtub! He didn't even make a splash! Sneaky kid! Redding LOVES taking a bath, I don't know why I was surprised!
After I recovered from a slight panic attack and a myocardial infarction, it was funny.

Just a few cute pics...

Looking like a little man...
The ever serious Leyton

Eat Redzilla
Ahh, so sweet!



And then, he was 3

(they have been in the same class since they were 8 months old)
Leyton, Richard, and Anna are the "3 Amigos". He talks about them nonstop.
Leyton wanted a "Thomas the Train" party this year. I find it difficult to accept that he is already wanting to make his own decisions about things. I really wanted him to have a "Cars" party (mostly because the party favors were much cuter and much more abundant) but try as I may, he was insistent on having Thomas. I guess I should get used to this...and be more respectful of his opinion. He is growing up after all.
