Our Big Boy turns 1!

Our big boy turned 1 on Sunday! Its amazing how time flies! We celebrated Saturday afternoon with a family get together at our house. We had a kiddie pool, water slide and slip n slide in the backyard and ate pizza and cake! It was a blast! Thanks family for being there to share Chad's birthday with us!

Happy 1st birthday to the MOST amazing son! We love you!

ALOT of Chad!

Have I mentioned yet that our son is out of control? (and I say that in the most loving way a mom can say it)
Yep, he is standing in our fridge. He insists on speed crawling over to it everytime the door opens to flip the light on and off, but he doesnt want to stand outside the fridge. He has to be IN it.Tangled in daddys bday balloons
Doesnt like sloppy joes, like his mommy! and a good night!
Even with all his craziness, have I told you how much I stinkin love this kid? I could eat him right up.

Kisses for Daddy

Memorial Day

Grandma was here visiting this weekend, which means lots of fun! We hung out at Sarah's most of the weekend and played in the pool and on the bouncy water slide. Needless to say WE HAD A BLAST!

Chad likes cabinets..but not any cabinets..ones with pots to bang on.

He also likes eggs..and cheese!

and swimming with cousins!

Aunt and Uncle again!

That's right! This will be the 14th time! (15 grandkids all together including Chad)

Sister Sarah had her baby girl on Friday night around 11:15pm weighing in at 6lbs 9 oz, 19 inches long.

Introducing....Savannah Porter! Number 7 for Dan and Sarah! (Crazy right?) :)

Savannah is 3 1/2 weeks early so she is being monitored in the Special Care Nursery for her breathing. I went to see her Saturday morning as soon as I was off work so I could love her up! She was on an O2 hood then, but now she's on a nasal cannula so Sarah is getting to feed and hold her. They are hoping she'll be home in a few days. She is so stinkin cute and looks like Sarah's other buggers. Welcome to the family little Sa-Bannah! (as her older sister Jessica calls her)

and just cuz I love him so...here's my crazy climbing under the end table. For what? you ask...
a little spot of light shining in from the blinds onto the carpet that he just HAD to touch. Love that do.
