A couple of very special BiRtHdAyS!

First Leo turned 2!  This little boy is so dreamy, in many ways!  He wants to be a big boy so badly!
Tries his hardest to keep up with his big sister and brother daily.  He tells everyone "I'm a big boy".
~He still remains our pickiest eater, worst sleeper*Uh still hasn't slept through the night...like never! Leo is one of the funniest little people on the planet, and even laughs at himself, he thinks he's hilarious.  He is so happy HAPPY!  Loves to give and receive hugs & kisses. Talks our ears off.  Is obsessed with anything that has a motor, but especially lawnmowers, blowers and his Papa Walker's motorcycles, and airplane.  Likes piggy back rides.  Has a sweet tooth.  Still has spiral curly hair, buttermilk breath, and baby soft skin.  He is very much baby...yet BiG boy at the same time. 

Leo James is truly the butter on my bread, the cheese on my crackers, the wind in my sails.  We are so in love with this small boy!  Oh he was very much into eating goldfish crackers so we had a goldfish themed small birthday party for him.  Was cute, simple and fun!  Hard to believe my baby is 2!

Next up, Noodle girls 9th birthday...9!  She keep reminding Shane & I that this is the last year of a single digit :*( so sad!  She is growing up so fast!  She remains to be a natural little mama and caregiver.  Take very good care of her little brothers.  I would be lying if I said they got along perfect...because they don't, well she and Leo do, but Nolan & Liv are starting to get under one anothers skin.  To be expected at their ages.  Nonetheless they would be lost without each other. 
Hard to believe she will be a 4th grader in two weeks! 
*OLIVIA=SO CREATIVE, LOVE LOVE LOVES MUSIC! Playing her guitar, singing, writing music, constantly writing songs.  Let me not forget DANCING! She makes things out of duck tape, loves to do nail art on herself, and anyone else who is wiling to let her paint their nails.  This summer she has learned to kayak, board behind the boat, she loves going on walks, taking long bike rides, tubing, and will tinker around doing yard work with her Gam for hours!  She is a beautiful little girl, growing up incredibly fast!  The theme of her party this year was One Direction.  It was also the first all girl party she had, just few of her closest friends.  Was different not having loads of our family and friends to celebrate.  It was a fun and cute party.  The girls tubed, went swimming, had a BBQ, danced, karaoked, jumped on the trampoline and watched Flicka, it was special and FUN!  The highlight was having her BFFFFFFFF...Ella Bean for a sleepover after the party.  These two girls love each other so much and I am so thankful they have each other, and care so much for one another. They have known each other since they were tiny baby girls and have so much fun together!

Have always taken Liv's birthday picture on our front porch...but since we've moved and this summer we spend our days in our bathing suits...this was how it was done.  Liv in her suit on her birthday ;)

Next up~Nolan's BiRtHdAy! July, August & September Birthday celebrations make for a busy summer!
