Let the Festivities Begin...

2 more days until I am ONE !!! I went home this weekend with Mommy and Daddy to celebrate early. We drove to Winchester late Friday night and stayed with Grandma and Grandpa. Saturday morning, we woke up and went to Ba Ngoai and Ong Ngoai's house to celebrate with a party. It was lots of fun to see my family and friends. And then we all got such a nice surprise - Aunt Tam and Uncle Nathan celebrated Uncle Nathan's birthday with the arrival of their Baby - my cousin Nathan. Mommy and Daddy went to go see Baby Nathan on his birth day but I had to stay home because I'm too little and it was after visiting hours.

On Sunday, we went to breakfast to meet Chang and Mina. They are getting married this Saturday so we wanted to wish them well and just hang out with them. Afterwards, we went to Ba Co's house to help celebrate Cousin Minh's birthday. He turns one this Friday. It was great to see and play with all my cousins. Then, we headed to the Memorial Day Monteith BBQ. I got to see my Monteith Family there. Then, we were back in the car and headed home to Greensboro. Daddy, Mommy and I are tired from our short and busy visit but its always so nice to be with our family.

Can't wait to tell you all about the rest of the week. So far, I have really enjoyed birthday cake and cookies. I think there is more cake for me on Thursday and Saturday - I'll let you know.

Girlfriends

I had a really nice weekend. Daddy was busy helping Uncle TJ put a new roof on his house. So, I hung out with Mommy friday afternoon. Then on Saturday, Mommy took me to Lorien's birthday party. I had a great time. After the party, I went over to Uncle TJ and Aunt Erica's house. I got to see my Daddy and play with Bria. Sunday, Mommy and I kept Daddy company on the way back and to Uncle TJ and Aunt Erica's so that Daddy could help finish the roof. I was a good boy and played with Aunt Erica and Mommy while Daddy worked. My favorite parts of the weekend were going to Lorien's birthday party and playing with Bria. Here I am with my friend Bria. Bria is so nice she let me play with her Wish Bear. She's coming to my birthday party in a few weeks - Yippee !!!
This is me and my friend Lorien. Lorien invited me to her 3rd birthday party at the Little Gym. I had lots of fun. Lorien is coming to my birthday party in a few weeks too- Yippee !!!

Happy Mothers Day to my Mommy !!!

This weekend included lots of graduation celebrations, celebrating how much Daddy and I love Mommy and lots of eating in between. I was so excited about celebrating Mothers Day with Mommy, I woke up 3 times during the middle of the night. Everyone hopes that I sleep a lot better for the rest of the week. Last week, Sarah came back to watch me for the week. We had lots of fun, although I am still missing Ashley. Tomorrow, Lauren starts watching me for the summer. I'm going to try and be a good boy. 2 more weeks until I am ONE !!! Happy Mothers Day to my Mommy !!!

Happy and Sad at the Same Time

I'm sad about something and we also had something to celebrate. Last Thursday was Ashley's last day with me. I really, really miss her. She has moved to the beach, but she promised to come back for my birthday party - I can't wait. On Friday, Mommy took the day off to spend with me. Daddy came home early to take us out to Mexican for lunch to celebrate Cinco De Mayo. Then, Mommy and Daddy dropped me off to play at the Bopps. They were off to celebrate their 5th year anniversary at Chauteau Morrisette. On Saturday, we hung out around the house and ran errands. On Sunday, it was rainy all day - so we picked up Jovie and headed to the Children's Museum for some fun. It doesn't look like it but I loved being in this big tub of plastic balls at the museum
