Blondie boys

The other day the moms and boys got together for a little play date... The moms chat and boys play ;) the boys (copper, Burke and Ethan) hadn't been together in quite a while due to everyone traveling etc. They were a little shy at first but then best buds as the afternoon went on.
Recap: met these wonderful ladies at Tracy's birth class back in Early 2011 before all the babies came.
Thanks to Annemarie (burke's mom) and her love for baking and general passion for bacon, she brought over the most amazing BLTs for lunch! She also made toddler muffins that the boys all LOVED! They all look like triplets sitting quietly, devouring their prizes!
Jenn (Ethan's mom) was gracious enough to have all of us over to enjoy her lovely back yard in the sunshine!
These ladies brighten my day and they are so refreshing to talk to. It's such a small group so we can share ideas and chat about kid stuff without having to listen to 20 other ideas... I like that too but this is just nicer sometimes ;)
Can't wait for the next time we can get the boys together and play!

Bring copper to work day ...

Visiting dad at the station is just too much fun!

Afternoon exploring

We had a few hours to kill so copper and I headed up to the natural history museum! They have a great Dino and butterfly exhibit... And today we even discovered the mammals, birds and insects! It is a great place, lots to do and plenty to learn and explore. We recently got a membership, so we will be back often... And you get to see the sea center too! That's for another day ;)

I'm ONE!

Yes this little munchkin is already ONE!!! ok... my turn to say the standard parent line... I CAN'T BELIEVE MY BABY IS ONE!!!!  Ok, now that's out of the way.
We had a very small gathering to celebrate Copper with some of our friends and family. I don't have many pictures because I was chasing this little bugger around most of the time :) We had his pool set up and some snacks. I didn't realize how hard it is to decorate for a one year old's party... we went for the pirate theme but the Pirate didn't come through very well... oh well. He is only one. We will have many years to out do the last!
We had so much fun, and just loved spending some time with those we love! As you can see from the picture - Copper had a great time!
