Happy 8th Birthday Will and 80th to my Dad~

We celebrated Will's birthday several times and for some reason I lost the photos of his family party.
Just a cute photo of SJ taking care of Calla out on the plasma car~

Will got a new bike and we celebrated with Chinese around the big table~

The next day we celebrated daddy's 80th with poppyseed chicken, cookie cake, and singing~

 Happy birthday Will & Pop~

We love you both!!!

The kids did all the decorating for our table scape and it was beautiful~

Will Perry is 7!~

I'm pretty sure we have heard 'When is October 17th?" about 365 times since last year...

{slight exaggeration} but you get the point.

The boy has been seriously waiting for his birthday and we celebrated this weekend.

Saturday was his birthday and he woke to gifts from us and the girls~

 He is a dinosaur nut right now so it was the theme of his gifts.
{Even EK and SJ gave him some of their collection.}
We had happy meals for lunch and the whole day was spent outside~

 My sister and family came into town so we had a little party at the big table~

 There were lots of cupcake faces~

 The adults enjoyed smores~

Then Sunday was my dad's birthday so after church we had more birthday celebrations.
{I will come back to this photo of us with the girls later}
My daddy turned 79 and love this photo of him with his three grandsons ALL 7~

We enjoyed a delicious lunch and DQ ice cream cake then went out for the gifts.
I wanted this photo of my parents and siblings because we lost our sweet brother John 8 years ago and we miss him terribly~

 Loved having everyone here together~

Will Perry we couldn't love you more and SO thankful God chose you for our son~

We KNOW He has BIG plans for your life!!!
Happy birthday to you and Pop!
A Very happy day!

Family Birthday Party~

We have three birthdays in the month of October... WP, Daddy, and Jessica.

Last night we were able to celebrate two and will see Jessica on Wed!

The house was FULL of love~

 and we enjoyed a delicious Italian meal of caesar salad, baked ravioli, lasagna, and garlic bread~

 Enjoyed yummy cupcakes and ice cream~

Happy birthday WP and Pop!!!

The most exciting part was going out for a little pinata fun~

 and opening presents!

We are set with new things to play with for sure!!

Only thing that would have made this day perfect was having Mimi home. {See you Wed too, Mimi!} 

What's happening Wed for everyone to be together again???

Josh and Savannah are hosting a baby reveal dinner for family 

and to say I can't wait is an understatement!!!

Boy or girl???

WP's Family Party~

A great party~ more tomorrow. 

Happy Birthday WP~

Today was a big day for WP.

Seriously he has been waiting to turn five since Payne's 5th birthday.

First thing he said this morning~ I'm 5 now!

He started his day off with a nutritious:) breakfast of Froot Loops~

 and was excited to open his first gift.

He is ALL about Jake and the Neverland Pirates, wants to be a pirate for Halloween, 

and was so ecstatic with his Jolly Roger!

As happy as WP was, Evie was the opposite {sad}.

This was her first breakdown of it not being her birthday {poor baby}~

{She turned 3 about 8 days after coming home so she doesn't remember anything about her special day}

After everyone was dressed for the day, WP opened a Jake Memory Game for school~

 {Poor little Evie... MINE! WP was such a trooper}

We went on with school and SJ enjoyed being calendar teacher to celebrate WP's birthday~

{A little video}~

WP also opened a Fire fighter duplo set from Memommy and Pop!

Once Scott finished work and Rosie came home from school/cheerleading, we went out for dinner to Olive Garden~

 and came home for a mini cupcake party.

For some reason EK has always said you aren't your new age until you have blown out the candles so finally WP was 5!

Happy birthday WP... you are a precious sweet son.

Can't imagine life without you!!!

WP's Family Party~

Was so fun! He was SO excited that after his nap everyone would be here to celebrate! Of course he wanted everything to be orange.

I'm not sure why he loves orange so much except it was the first color her learned to recognize. Susan and Tony stopped by to bring a gift~

Such a great evening with family enjoying a Mexican fiesta AND orange cupcakes!

  Opening presents was SO fun... new crocs, orange Clemson shirt, orange hummer, water doodle, airplane, duplos, and helmet!

Rosie has been such a trooper... learning to use crutches, going up and down stairs, sitting around all day, icing her leg, wearing a very heavy brace... ALL with grace (just like her middle name).

SO proud of her!!!

Happy birthday WP~ you have made us ALL so very happy having you home to celebrate!!! 

Happy 4th Birthday~

to sweet Will Perry!!!

 Amazed to be celebrating this precious baby's first birthday home and his 4th on this earth.

I don't know any child that has ever been more excited about their birthday... he has sang happy birthday to himself all day! :)

I asked him what he wanted for his birthday and he said a boat ride so when we were looking for a birthday shirt, he saw a boat and went for that boat ride~

Scott has been out of town this week and came home today sick from food poisoning. WP was SO excited that his daddy was home for his birthday. We gave him his new bike and he was riding it right away. He asked for a noodle dinner and an orange cupcake to celebrate!

WP is looking SO forward to his family party on Saturday!

 

We love you beyond measure and SO thankful to have had you home for almost a year now. You amaze us every day and we are SO very thankful to be your mommy and daddy!

Bless you sweet son~ you light up our lives!!!
