Busy weeks

We have had quite a busy few weeks. Here are just the hi lights! First, Ellie's birthday where the girls (Tatum, Ellie and Ramey) played games,...

jumped on the trampoline...

and decorated cupcakes after eating a delicious and nutritious lunch. What more could you ask for at a birthday party?!

I only put this pic in because Tatum's hair is a crack up. She hates to have me put water on her hair in the morning so if that's the case, she needs to put it up in a ponytail. Or we're left with a fro that you see in the picture above. Where did this curly hair come from?!

And here's my little 7 monther. Ty is the BEST little baby, always smiling, happy to sit and wait his turn (which with Tatum, is always last) and loves to give kisses. He loves to wave, loves to sit and play with his toys, loves to chew on everything, and he has his first tooth! I think it's just one but it's hard to get in there and see. He's growing so fast, it's unbelievable and a bit sad for me since this is our last little baby. He's been slowing down on the nursing which is sad as well because it's the end of an era. Oh, my little man, I love you!

And Tatum is a wonderful big sister. It's an adjustment for her but she's trying and such a great helper.

On Sunday we headed out to the Carlsbad Flower Fields and it was so fun! So many flowers and things to look at and do, a fun day.

Tatum loved smelling all the plants.

But it was hard to get a good picture with everyone looking at the same time. :)

They've set up a play area with the old Santa's Village stuff from Big Bear. Oh the memories!

The mushroom huggers. :)

We met Matt, Erica and baby Jack out there as well. Thank goodness Matt was nice enough to give Tatum a ride, it was quite a walk out to the fields.

Part of the reason we went out to the flower fields was to get some good shots in the flowers, just like the ones they show on their web site. Apparently, those are only available for a very high price through a photographer on site. Otherwise, you get to crouch down in a muddy ditch and sit next to the yellow tape to get a picture of the flowers. :( Not quite as I had imagined.

Here are the two boys. Only 5 months apart so they're sure to be BFFs!

And lastly, Garrett's birthday. He had gone out with the neighbors the night before so he was hurting a bit the morning of his birthday. We made him a yummy birthday breakfast and then we all wore birthday hats as he opened his presents. Later that day, Tatum and I made him cherry cheesecake cupcakes which we all enjoyed later that night. Happy Birthday honey!
