Gibson's Birthday

Gibson's Birthday = Pancakes, Radio Disney Activity, Bubbles, Tacos, Cupcakes and Baseball
(tons and tons of pictures!)
We had such a wonderful day, June 23, celebrating Gibby's birthday. He woke up and we all wished him a Happy Birthday, which in return he said Happy birthday, also. We headed up stairs for some pancakes and opening presents.
He opened and played with his presents all morning :ABC and 123 blocks, baseball bat, ball and t-ball stand (which he loves and runs after every hit) and an LA dodger hat.
We then headed off to the Gallivan Center for the Radio Disney Water fight. It was a blast and they had the best volunteers. Ebay helped out at the activity booths so we got to hang out with Daddy. They kids did the bounce house, art center, ring toss, duck pond, milk booth for mustaches and Popsicles. We listened and danced to the music, and then tried to spray the firefighters with our little squirt guns. But the fire hose was more powerful and we ended up running all over the lawn to avoid the water. Radio Disney gave a shout out to Gibson for his birthday and sang to all the birthday kids. Then at the very end they taught us how to do the Miley Cyrus Hoedown Throwdown song, Etta's all time favorite song. She had requested it earlier so they dedicated the song to her. We had a great time and Gibby was asleep before I pulled out of my parking spot.

Gibby just dancing


Etta loved watching the Radio Disney dancers

Waking up from his nap Gibby enjoyed blowing bubbles for over an hour. He would hold the bottle, stick the wand in, half the bottle would spill out, and then he would blow his bubbles. He was getting really good and getting lots of bubbles. He went through 4 small bottles. It's his birthday, right?



Blow those bubbles little boy


Then Daddy got home it was off to the taco stand. Yes, my kids love the the taco's from the taco cart. We had as many as we wanted and then headed to the cupcake store. We got there just passed 6 and they were closing. The nice lady let us in and have our cupcakes. We love Mini's!



Loving on the tacos


Don't bother me while I am eating


Daddy of course loves the tacos too

Not happy he has to share

The boys were off to the Baseball game and the girls joined them in the 4Th inning. What a fun night. Gibby loved cheering every batter that hit the ball and ran. Etta played around and looked for Bumble. At the bottom of the 6Th Gibson's name came up on the board to wish him a Happy Birthday. Stinky little boys where trying to get the balls from the opposing team and thus huddling around our seats. Andy missed catching a picture but we cheered for Gibby!

Silly Daddy trying to be like Gibby


It was a great day and a beautiful night


I love my children and my husband!



My two favorite pictures

I am so happy to have my boy. He is 100% all boy with the loving sports, dirt, bugs, and of course the hitting and biting. He is learning to communicate in full sentences and loving the way we can understand him now. Thanks for the hugs, kisses and being apart of our family.
I Love you Gibson!

The weekend and Father's day

We hit up the Gateway Chalk Art Festival on Friday. After walking around seeing all the wonderful artist drawing with chalk, Etta and Gibson wanted their turn. Gibson had fun coloring over everyone's pictures. Etta wanted to draw and color who? Snow White



The kids hard at work

We celebrated Father's day Saturday and Sunday. We gave Andy his homemade ice cream cake, cards and poster of "The Best Dad". Andy pretty much buys everything he wants so we are sticking with the made with love items.
Etta and Gibby climbed in bed on Sunday and wished him a "Happy Father's Day" then we took Daddy out to breakfast at Farmer's Market Street Grill. We are so glad to have such a wonderful Father, Daddy and Husband. We love you!


Etta colored a beautiful picture menu for Daddy
