Birthday Fun!

Wow! My little boy is 4 years old already. And my little baby is already 2! I can't believe how fast it all has gone with them. I hope it slows down just a little so I can treasure it a little bit more. I have had so much fun these past 4 years that I can't wait for the rest! Hopefully they start getting along a little better though.
This past weekend they had two birthday parties. Saturday was their party for my side of the family. It was at Nora's house due to the fact that 20 people don't fit in our house. I am so thankful that she is willing to rent it out to us. The kids had so much fun, I just wish that it would have slowed down so I could have chatted with everyone a little bit. Mason chose to have homemade apple pie for his dessert (nice bonus for us that don't care for cake to much). He told me later that his favorite part was the pie! Then Sunday we went Tim's parents house for party number two. Once again a great time! It was a little more relaxed for us. But the kids had such a great weekend and were spoiled rotten. Thank you to everyone for everything!

Finally a wonderful few days outside and inside!

The kids and I played outside all day today! I can't tell you how happy we were to be out there! Yesterday we worked outside and cleaned up the yard and cleaned cars. I love the motivation I have again to get things accomplished now that it is nice out. I love working out in the yard and playing with the kids out there. Then this evening we grilled up some venison steaks on the grill, it was so good! Izzy has been loving the weather also. She is sleeping anytime that we are inside. I know the top picture is inside, this is what the kids were up to after nap time this afternoon. Emily was all dressed up with all of her hair clips thanks to Mason. She also is starting to potty train a little. She stayed dry for nap time and used the potty. She has been doing that for a while now but she won't let me know when she needs to go. I am in no rush but would love to be done changing diapers. Almost four years of it and ready to be done!
Well, enjoy the pictures! I am done rambling for now~
