Weston's Superhero Birthday Party

On Saturday, we held a Superhero Birthday party to celebrate Weston's 5th birthday. He officially turns 5 this coming Friday the 13th of November! We had a great time, with lots of family and friends present to help us celebrate Weston and what he means to all of us! He told me today, "Mom, I had the coolest birthday party ever"! We are so glad that you enjoyed it, buddy...we love you so much! Here are some pictures from his special day.

Food and decorations...





Here are some pictures of the children enjoying different activitites. We had pin the badge on the Superhero, Superheroes vs. Villains (with silly string), Pass the Kriptonite (like hot potato, except using "kriptonite" aka a green glow stick), a bounce house, and a candy filled pinata!



Here's a group shot of all the children...



Some closeups of Weston with Mommy, Addison with Aunt Becky, and Weston with a couple of this friends.



Weston is about to blow out his candles, we are singing to him!

And, at last, it is time for the birthday boy to open his presents...he got lots of fun toys!

Children

Weston looked at me today and said, "Mommy, on Saturday at my birthday party, I'm going to be THE BIRTHDAY BOY, aren't I"?? I smiled and said, "yes, of course you are"! He grinned from ear to ear. :) He can hardly wait! Every child loves their time to be THE birthday boy or girl...their time to shine!!

Weston's Halloween Party at School

Weston was so excited on Friday morning to get to wear his Halloween costume to school! He is batman this year. At the end of the day, his class enjoyed a party to celebrate...here are some pictures! Addison enjoyed tagging along and participating, too. (In fact, she didn't want to leave school, she wanted to stay!)Make sure and check out the cupcakes that one of the mom's made...I thought they were super cute!






Happy Halloween!

My Mom's Birthday party

We celebrated my Mom's birthday last weekend by going to Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC for brunch. It was a beautiful fall day, the leaves were goregous, the food was delicious, and the company was the best part! Here are some pictures from the day...








We finished off the day, with a birthday dinner that my dad and brother, Ryan, prepared. It, too, was delicious! We had a great celebration!

Here is the awesome birthday cake that we got for her...it was red velvet and was DELICIOUS!

Outta the mouths of babes....

Weston: "Mom, is there any way to send a text message to God?"

Addison

On Addison's birthday we took her to Ruby Tuesday for lunch...she loves to eat off of the salad bar there. Addison is not a big eater, so we took her somewhere that we knew she would eat!! Bob was able to leave work and meet us there and so did Gram. Later that evening we went to Fall Night at Bob's school, then headed to Charleston to spend the night because we had to be at MUSC the next morning for an endocrine appointment for Addison.





After we left Addison's appointment at MUSC, we headed to the Fire Education Center / Museum and the kids loved it there! They loved looking at all of the firetrucks, riding in the simulator, and sliding down the fire poll and the slide. If you're ever in Charleston, you should really check it out!! After we left there, we stopped in to eat at Jim n Nicks...this is one of my favorite restaurants and we used to live near the one in Bluffton, SC. However, we do not have one in the Upstate, so it was a real treat to get to have lunch there!
