Liam's 2nd Birthday!

Today was Liam's birthday. We had fun family day together to celebrate. We were so grateful that Grammy was able to visit during Liam's birthday. She flew from TN to spend the day with Liam and he loved having his Grammy here. It was a very special day for me too because I was Baptized at church in the morning. We then took Liam out for a birthday lunch at our favorite restaurants call the Buddy's Backyard BBQ. We ate outside on the big deck and Liam enjoyed playing at their playground. We came home and Liam took a long nap. He had lots of fun the day before at his party but he was very tired. We had dinner and birthday cake when we sang Happy Birthday to Liam and let him open presents from his family. He received such wonderful birthday presents. One gift he really loved was from his great Aunt Bonnie. She sent him some very cool crayola beginners markers and books that he absolutely LOVED. It was a special evening and we are so blessed to have a wonderful little man to call our own. We're absolutely amazed of all he's accomplished this past year and can't wait to see what's to come this year!

Let's Party I'm Two!

Today was Liam's 2nd Birthday Party! He had a blast! Thanks to so many of his friends that came out to celebrate his big day. We were also so happy that Liam's Grammy flew in from TN to attend his party.

The party was held at 10 a.m. at Landa Park. Liam enjoyed sharing the spotlight with his girlfriend Reagan who also was turning 2. Her birthday was  on the 27th. We had a jack and Jill kind of party together. I highly recommend this idea for kids this age. They don't mind sharing their day and it made it so much easier planning etc. It's also easier on the guests who would attend both parties they just come to one big party instead.

The theme was a beach/summer party. With the summer soon coming to an end and the kids going back to school, we thought it would be great to have one last summer party! Each guest had a sand bucket filled with goodies like bubbles, gummy fishies, beach theme stickers, a sticker theme, mini beach ball etc. We had fun games like a scavenger where the kids had to find sea animals and put them in their bucket. We also had a stickers for them to decorate their sand buckets, and the most fun was the parachute which the kids absolutely loved tossing the mini beach balls up and down on the parachute. The weather was perfect! The kids enjoyed playing on the playground nearby too.  Liam was blessed with so many gifts from cars & trucks, crayons, paints, balls, he really got spoiled by his friends this year. Liam enjoyed the party but got overwhelmed at times with all the people we did have quiet a crowd. All around it was a special day for both Liam & Reagan. 

Liam The Book Worm

Liam has been reading lots of books this summer with Mommy. We go to the library every Monday for storytime and we check out  books to read every week. Liam participated in the summer reading program this summer. With Mommy's help he read 20 books in only 1 month! He was awarded a certificate, a new book, and gift certificates to Chick fila & whataburger. It's fun to read with Liam every night. He's learned lots of new words and has even learned to count to 10! I'm so proud of him.

All ABout Daddy!

Liam is having a blast spending lots of time with his Daddy while he's been on a much needed vacation this week. They have so much fun together! I love hearing the laughter as they are playing together and just being silly boys. We also can't wait for Father's Day to come so we can spoil the Best Dad in the WORLD!

Fun Zoo Trip!

Today we had a family day at the San Antonio Zoo. Liam really enjoyed it this time I think It was the best time yet. It was a very hot Texas day with temps well into the 100's. We left early morning to beat the heat and to get a good look at the animals for their morning feeding. We saw so many animals; elephants, tigers, rhinos, panthers, and every kind of bird and too many bugs and reptiles to count. Liam absolutely adores the Tiny Tot spot of the Zoo designed especially for little ones. It has a special indoor play area, exhibits and chairs and picnic tables just for them. It also has a wading pond and beach area for swimming. It's just the right depth and the water is so clean and refreshing. Liam absolutely loved playing in the water. We spent most of our time in the Tiny Tot area and enjoyed staying cool on a hot day! We are so glad we decided to get season passes this year. It's a great place to have some fun!

First Swim of the Summer!

Today Liam and I took our first dip in a pool to start our summer! We got a BIG kiddie pool to use this year. Liam also has a beach ball sprinkler he likes to run in. We also bought a sandbox and water table for him to try out this summer. Liam had fun today staying cool in his kiddie pool. It was a hot Texas day and it felt good to take a dip with him. we look forward to bringing Liam for his first trip to the beach this summer which will be lots of fun!

Talking Up A Storm!

Liam is busy talking saying all kinds of words. Everyday he says a new word or phrase and it's
really fun to listen to him. Some of his favorites so far are: Baby, Car, Bye, Daddy, MaMa, Dog,
Tractor, Cheese, Cookie, Juice, box, Choo Choo, Out, Up, Hi, Bug, Dog, Bird, Toes, Head, Eye.

This is one of my favorite videos of him saying "Byeee" He loves to open and shut the door and say bye it's too cute!
