Timmy's 2nd Birthday

We had a great 2nd Birthday for Timmy! We had the Grandma and Grandpa, Great Grammy, Uncle Dan and Auntie Kim and their boys, Tia, Auntie Heather and Vi, and our neighbor Mr. Art. We had a full house with lots of excitement! We decorated the house in a Mickey Mouse theme. :My sister drew some of Timmy's favorite characters from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and we decorated with balloons, another favorite of Timmy's!



I made this cake for Timmy, with help from Krista's decorating tips at HOME group!



We made a pinata, and didn't get too fancy with it. We weren't even sure that Timmy would get what to do, but he got right in there and did excellent. All the cousins got a turn to take a couple of whacks at the mickey pinata. Cousin Josh is the one who really did some damage and helped get the goodies out! I stuffed the pinata with extra stickers, army men, crayons, snakes, and old mickey mouse candy canes from Christmas. I was excited I didn't have to go buy more junk for the pinata! The most important is that the kids had a great time and everyone was safe! After Timmy's party on Thursday we left for the beach on Friday. We continued the party for Timmy and made a big deal of him being 2. We also were having our last get away as a family of 4, before we become 5! We have 3 weeks from today before baby comes! We found this fort on the beach and it was a great place to play out of the wind! Grandma and Grandpa and Great Grammy came with us. We all enjoyed the time on the beach when we could. Sometimes it was a quick dash to the beach in between rain storms! We had a great relaxing weekend! Loved it and love our family and kids!

Too Funny!

Ok here are some funny things the kids have said lately:

Violet: "I got a new book at school today, it's about snakes, ssssssss"
Nana: " I can assure you Vi, that Nana won't be reading that book to you, Nana doesn't like snakes!"
Joya:" Well, I can assure you, I don't know how to read!"

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

At bed time we do a little devotional with the kids and then have them repeat the written prayer, Tim does one sentence at a time and here is what happened a few nights ago!

Tim: "Here is the prayer tonight; Dear Lord, forgive me..."
Joya" Dear Lord forgive me..."
Timmy" Dear Lord forgive me for liking peanut and butter and honey sandwiches!"

We laughed hard after that one!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

In Joya's Sunday School class they do one story for a month, so after the third week of the same story this is what we here in the car:

Michelle: " Joya what did you learn about in Sunday School?"
Joya: " We learned about Jesus...again...it's so annoying!"
Timmy: "sing Jesus loves me!"

Timmy chimes in whenever he feels the need to!

Anyway they have given us some good old belly laughs in the last couple of weeks! I wanted to write them down so I wouldn't forget!
