Birthday parties galour!





Well I read that my sweet little niece Rachel had 2 birthday parties in a week, and so did we! First on Mom's birthday I had my kids party for family. It went pretty well, the kids made out quite well on presents and everyone ate well I think. We had 6 cakes!! I made a Boston Creme Pie and Carrot Cake for Mom and John. Then a chocolate car cake for Trent (this one came out way better) funfetti cupcakes for Hailey, ice cream cake for Kay kay and my little brother in-laws girlfriend Lucy( she's a doll) made a castle cake pink with sparkles. Wow! We had chicken, pork loin and veggie burgers with all different salads, thank you Mom, Joanne and myself. The kids got the coolest toys. Hailey even said the other day, if we couldn't go to the park it would be okay because she had really cool birthday presents to play with. That is not like Hailey at all. Kurt also brought his face paint and painted our faces, mine too! They came out so cute!
So the following morning was Archers birthday. So we grabbed Dad and headed to Mass. We were so tired, but we had to get there on time too because they had their party planned first and I had to throw mine in the same weekend. We ate and play and Rob, Kurt and I played Rockband. It was so fun, but Rob had to play drums or guitar, Kurt on guitar or bass and me singing or we just plain sucked. Sean ended up falling asleep on the couch after Trent fell asleep on him while playing ball with the kids. What a psycho baby! Anyway, I didn't get enough good pictures at his party to post so I suck, but hopefully Rob will post them for us.


Trent turns one!

So on the 28th Trent turned one! We went swimming at a friends house and headed home around 5 to start dinner and cake. Well Trent fell asleep on the way home and I was so happy so he would be rested and we were going to take him outside and cause trouble after the sugar high. He decided it was his birthday and he wanted to sleep, from 5pm till 5am. So we had the cake for him the following night. We attempted a car/truck thing just for fun. He looked at us with his hand over the cake with a "can I?" look on his face. He is so cute! This Monday he had his doctors appointment and is 25.5 lbs. and 32 1/4 inches. Not bad for 1 huh! Anyway, here he is on his day after birthday. The pictures came out of order, but you get the idea.

Boston Baby!



So on Monday we took a trip to Boston with Kurt for the day. It was beautiful out. I've never ventured to Boston before so it was a whole new adventure for us. The kids ate ice cream and had smoothies at Quincy Market. And they got tattoos that last for two weeks as you see here. The shoes Trent is wearing are the new squeaky shoes I wrote about in the last post.
The kids were so good walking around for 6 hours. We brought a picnic lunch and sat by the water on the stone bench in one of the pictures. Before we left, we stopped and picked up Dunny's shown here. It was so fun. We really like Boston. Only one bum and one crazy guy preaching at a park. Next adventure is RI to the Flying Caroseul. I can't wait.



We would like to thank Kurt for going on adventures with us just about every week. We are just starting to experience the world and love going with him. Trent even laid down with him at the park!! Sean was a little jealous. And I have to say, Trent finally made it through a long car ride without crying!!!! GO BIGYN!!!!!!

The Park!

So this is the park in Colchester. We went at 9:30, played, went on
the splash pad, played, had lunch, played, Trent took a nap,
played, went on the splash pad.
Then we went and got Grampa Bob and got ice cream. Then Mystic Village to walk around and got Trent Try some shoes.
They are the cutest shoes and he actually likes them! They squeak!

We then came home and changed to have dinner with Sean's family
and the kids were awesome! Sean's Grandfather was visiting from Florida for the week and it was his birthday. Very busy day, but well worth every second. My kids are great!!!!!!!! Tune in again soon for the day trip to Boston photos!!!!!

Air Museum





A few weeks ago, the Air Museum had an Air and Space day along with the National Guard. Admission was free (our favorite price) and they had a shuttle service to the different events in the area. The girls got to make water rockets and shoot them off at the museum. We also went and made buttons and necklaces, got the girls faces painted and saw airplanes and helicopters. The airport is Sean's favorite place to go. So he was in his glory and we all had fun. This last picture is of us all dirty messing around after our hot and busy day. We had a lot of fun!
