Operation 1st Birthday Party ... SUCCESS!

I did it! I pulled off Lucas' 1st birthday party. I am over the moon happy with how it all turned out. Thanks again to everyone that came and helped us celebrate "Our Little Monster" turning ONE!

As promised, here is a BIG photo dump...

Someone did NOT like everyone singing to him! haha

Ahh, I am seriously the luckiest mama in the world to have three of the most amazing kiddos, that fill my heart with so much joy, love and happiness! I wish I would have gotten a picture Saturday with the three of them together but next Sunday is Lucas' 1 year photo shoot so I will get a few then for sure!

Have a great week everyone!

The week of pure relaxation {photo dump}!

Ahhhh, what a WONDERFUL week! I am not sure if it was having Matt off for 9 days straight or being at the beach but either way it was just what this momma needed. We left out on Sunday around 11am. The drive went really well. Lucas slept most of it and we didn't hit much traffic. When we got there, we all got settled in and just hung out! Lucas had a hard time going down for bed. It was his first time sleeping in a pack n play but he finally gave in and slept great in it the whole week. Naps included! Monday we hit the beach. It was so nice being right on the beach because Lucas lasted all of maybe 30 mins, haha! He ate the sand, which drove me nuts! We only took him back out there two more times before deciding it was just to much work for 15-30 minutes of fun. He LOVED the pool though. He floated around and kicked his little legs. Logan and Abby had a blast and didn't complain once that we were not spending all day on the beach. They enjoyed the pool and hanging out with their cousins. After eating at Captain George's on Tuesday, we hit the Brew Thru and got t-shirts for each of us. Those were the two must dos on my list while we were there. We went out for icecream twice. Once at Fat Boyz and the second time at Logan's Icecream Cottage. I told Logan he should really keep me updated when he opens a new business, haha!

Abby was a little out of sorts Tuesday and by Wednesday we knew why. She had pink eye. So off to the walk in clinic we went at 9pm. Then my poor niece ended up with it Thursday. Of course it could have been something worse so I am thankful it wasn't! The rest of the week was just relaxing and hanging out. Matt and I were really good with the sunblock and neither of us got burnt. We both have great tans going, woop woop!

We decided to come back on Saturday instead of Sunday like everyone else which was a great decision. We had done laundry through out the week so we only had one load when we got home, SCORE! We were all unpacked and relaxing by 8pm Saturday which was great! Sunday I went grocery shopping and we relaxed some more. Prefect way to end a vacation!

Here is a big photo dump from the week. I was a slacker and didn't use my good camera so these are all from my iPhone.

Can't wait to do it again next year!
