Our first Chuck E. Cheese birthday party...

Our sweet neighbor, Alisa, had her birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese on Saturday - Aidan and I had a great time!  It was crazy, but lots of fun. Aidan was so cute with his tokens - he was really excited.

Love this kid so much - he really wanted to take a picture with me...our first try wasn't so good....

 

But I think we nailed it on our 2nd try!

I will cherish this as I know soon enough he won't want me anywhere near him when he's hanging with his friends at Chuck E. Cheese...

Pump it up...

Poor Lucas.  Lucas got invited to his buddy, Braiden's birthday party at Pump It Up.  Aidan always LOVED this place so I guess I assumed Lucas would too!  He was terrified.  He hated it.  Poor guy!

Happy birthday Braiden!  We are so happy to have you as a neighbor and a fun playmate for Lucas!

Happy Birthday Amy!

For Amy's birthday we went to a show at the Riviera - Grace Potter and the Nocturnals.  It was so much fun and such a great show!  

Not sure why they are blue...but cute anyway!

 This one below was after quite a few drinks...

Love this one of Amy and Derrill dancing!

Happy Birthday Amy!  Thanks for sharing your night with us!

Why I haven't been blogging....

The flu hit our house - both boys were sick.  Poor Lucas had the flu and a the respiratory virus.

 Lots of snuggle time with my sick little boys.  We were down for the count for about two weeks.  I am so glad they are feeling better and that Nathan and I didn't get it! 

New carpool buddy....

Aidan has made a new best friend and we carpool to school with her every day!  Alisa lives down the street and is such a sweet addition to our daily routine! 

Lucas first real haircute...

We love to get out to see my friend Julie for haircuts when we can.  Both boys are smitten with Julie and Susie.  Aidan said this time "Julie is soooo beautiful...and I am going to marry Susie some day!"  (Susie is happily married with two boys of her own...)  Love it!

Utah...

I didn't get a chance to post these pics in the Fall.  Nate recently went on a trip to Utah and had a great time.  He went with Jeff and his brother.  Here are some fun picks from his trip!

Their swanky digs for the weekend:

 The boys...doing what they love....

Bring it...2013

 Wishing you all good health, happiness and extra time with family and friends and an amazing 2013!
