Using a spoon.....??

Friday March 13th my nephew Alek turned 1. It is so crazy how time flies!! I can't believe that he is 1 already!! I headed over early to help my sister Amber prepare for the party. Amber babysits my other nephew Ryker during the week so I knew she would have her hands full with both the boys. I watched Ryker as Amber got everything put together for the BEST party ever :) Alek loved the balloons he got and liked the wrapping paper on his gifts a little more than the gifts ;) Amber even made a little cake just for him so he could dig right in...but since this is Amber's son and anyone who knows my sister knows that she is OCD...he dug right in with a spoon!! He was a pretty clean eater for a 1 year old!!! I love you Alek and hope you had a good year!!

Nick and the Love Sack

This happened a few weeks ago and I totally forgot to blog about it. I was in my room studying for a test and decided to go out and get a drink of water. While walking through the downstairs living room I noticed my brother-in-law Nick was trying to put away this ginormous love sack that was in the living room. Both him and Emily had to take ALL the stuffing out and put it into bags, which they then sucked the air out of with a vacuum. I expected him to be there just emptying it out....but no not Nick......he had to climb inside it and be one with the bag. LOL!

My Big Helper

Every Thursday Amber, Kimberlee and I go grocery shopping together. It's fun for us to get together and see each other during the week. Amber brings my nephew Alek and Kimberlee brings Ryker (since it's her day to watch him) and we all go to target to shop. Today Alek wanted to help push the cart that Ryker was in. We put him down and he held onto the bottom of the cart and helped push it all through Target. He is getting so big and is such a good helper :) Thanks Alek boy!

A night with the girls

The girls with their Uncle Mike

Mike drawing a house with Sadie

Last night Mike and I received a call from my sister Desi saying that she needed to take Asher to the ER. He was having a hard time breathing and they were getting worried. Of course Mike and I rushed over there to watch the girls while Desi and Ryan took their 1 month old baby to the hospital. He ended up only having a bronchial infection, which is a lot better than RSV or pneumonia, and was back home that night :) It was about 9:30pm when we got there so our job wasn't too hard, since all we needed to do was put the girls to bed. Mike drew pictures with Sadie and than let the girls lay on him while we watched Wall E. Mike is such a good uncle :) The girls were very good and went to bed when we told them to. We love them and had so much fun hanging out with them :)
