Saturday morning, we had Andy's party at the pool. It was a little chilly at first, but it warmed up quickly and ended up being perfect!
Here was the invitation for the party:
We gave all of the kids HUGE bouncy balls with their names written on them and they were a huge hit. Andy LOVES those balls and it turns out, the other kiddos do too! Here are some pictures from the day:

I got there early with my parents to set up, and Eddie brought the boys with my mother and sister-in-law. When they walked in, Andy's eyes were watering NON-stop. I guess he got some sunscreen in his eyes and they turned bright red and were like faucets, bless his heart. Everyone thought he was sick since his eyes looked so terrible. He still managed to have fun!

That night, we had my parents over to have dinner with us and Eddie's mom and sister. We grilled out and ate in my dining room (something we never do... in fact, it was out first time sitting in those chairs!). I love when we are all together...
Andy opened presents and was super happy after a great nap, a HUGE dirty diaper (the grandmas had to double team clean him up!) and a nice bath. His eyes were clear and he had a great time.
 |
| a rocking boat-- super cool! |
 |
| loving the box where the beanbag chair come from |
 |
| in a trance watching grandpa open his gift from cb |
Sunday, Eddie hit the golf course, so we went back to the pool. I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time there this summer! Andy was much happier today, with screen-free eyes, so I had to take a few more of him...
 |
| check out those teeth! |
 |
| cal was working on his jumping skills. Please notice the "1 FT" sign. |
 |
| he is ONE! |
That night, after dinner, I handed him a cupcake because I really wanted him to smash one... he ate more of this one than the one earlier at the pool, but he ended up feeding quite a bit of it to Hankers.
 |
| you mean I get to eat this?? |
 |
| i'm gonna get you....you going down, cake! |
It was a fun weekend and now I am worn out! Heading to bed right now!!!
