Big Boy Bed

Well, he made it till a little over 3 in the crib but thought it was time to move to a big boy bed. So, when my parents were in town (more on their visit later) they bought him his own bed from Ikea- so cute. He looks like such a mini-grown up in it- I have been used to the crib for so long.  He has made the transition great. Gets up each morning comes into our room and lays on top of either Dennis or I (not next to us- but directly on top :) ) until one of us gets up.  The bed and long alligator (to prevent head bumps on the wall) are from Ikea- and to get to and from the store we use the light rail (elevated train).  Den and my dad brought the stuff back and Den loved the sight of my dad cradling this over grown Alligator on the train. (As if we don't already stick out enough). :)  Thanks again for the bed guys! 

Uncle Daniel and Aunt Jessica's Wedding

In my attempt to get caught up I realized I never posted pictures of Daniel (Den's brother) and Jessica's wedding back in October.  This was a major event for the family because after 7 years of dating they got married (finally :) ) which made Aunt Jessica officially Aunt Jessica.  It was an great wedding, no hitches, no high maintenance bride- just lots of fun. Jessica looked beautiful as always- oh yes and you too looked nice Daniel. :)  Here are some photos from the big event.  As you can see we took a lot of Will in his cute mini tux! Just loved it- he looked like a mini James Bond. (though I don't think JB ever ate a lollipop- not good for his image). Anyway, congratulations again Daniel and Jessica!! Love you guys!

Will turned 3!.......two months ago

So now that I have discovered this new way to post I can get a little caught up.  Here are some pictures from Will's 3 year birthday party back in January.  We rented a van (the party wagon as we called it) and then all rode to this new play area.  The kids played for awhile and then it was cake and presents.  I wanted to keep the numbers down since Will can get overwhelmed in big crowds so only 4 friends were invited.  But I forgot that that means adults too- so when it was time for the cake and birthday song he had lots of people looking.  When we sang the birthday song Will shut his eyes tight (I think all the attention was a little too much) and didn't want to blow out the candles.  (note: he did blow out birthday candles a couple days later on his actual birthday with Den and I).  It was pretty cute though.  Then he opened his presents and the kids went back to play.  Then we went home to a mess free home... ahh.  It was a good day. He is getting so big and cuter each day.
