A Basketball Baby Shower!

A couple of weekends we threw a baby shower for my cousin Amy who is having a baby boy in June. Since her and her husband are basketball coaches, we knew we couldn't go wrong with a basketball themed baby shower. The shower turned out so cute and I think everyone enjoyed themselves!
 
I can't wait to meet the little guy! Just a little over a month and he will be here!!
 






 

Happy 5th Birthday, Blake!

I said it last year and I will say it again...my baby boy is growing up way too fast! 5 years ago today God blessed us with a beautiful baby boy. He has taught me so much about being mom and has made me a better person. Aaron and I are so lucky to call him our son. HERE is my post last year with some really cute baby pictures and I couldn't resist adding a few to this post.






And this picture was taken at his party this past weekend.


He has matured so much within the last year it is unbelievable. He is so smart and I am so proud of the progress he has made with his speech. He is the sweetest little boy and LOVES his mommy, daddy and sissy.

Some of his favorites right now:

- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
- LOVES chocolate milk
- Favorite foods: Spaghetti, pizza, chicken nuggets
- Favorite sport: Basketball and Baseball (at least right now)
- He can write your first and last name
- Sleep...it is never a fight at bedtime...and you love to cuddle with mommy
- He LOVES to play...either with Kylie or with Austin and Katie..or even by himself
- Loves learning new things...even doing homework sent home from school
- Loves singing and dancing...he has to have the radio on when we are in the car and most songs he will say that that it is his song
- Loves being outside...either riding his scooter, playing on the playset or just playing in the yard

I believe last year was the first year, but I created a questionnaire to ask each kid a certain set of questions on their birthday. This was I can see how much they change from year to year. I love that I videoed last years because he has changed so much since then! Below is the video from tonight when I asked him the same questions from last year.
