Westley Turns 1!

Well, my baby boy turned 1 last Thursday! I can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday I was begging the doctor to be induced!

Since his birthday was on a weekday, his party was the Saturday after. Here are some of the pics from his celebration:

Alright! My own cake!

Delving in!

Mmmmmm....

Impromptu bath (good idea: Always give them their first cake in a diaper only!)

Overall, the party was a blast! The kids had a great time and were totally worn out. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible! We love you all!

Bye for now,

A Tip for Juice Boxes

So, we all know that Juice Boxes make a HUGE mess! One squeeze and SQUIRT! Everywhere! We've even tried those plastic holders with handles you can buy at the grocery store. Somehow, my kids skip the handles and go straight for the middle. One good squeeze, and there you go again!

Anyhow, one morning when I woke up, I came out to the dining room to find both kiddos drinking their juice boxes out of a cup! Literally! My dear husband had put the juice box into a cup before putting the straw in. Then, put the straw in and gave it to the kids. It's great! The kids can hold their juice boxes (independence you know) and not spill! Thankfully, neither of them even try to take the juice box out of the cup! Here's what it looks like:



So, whenever we have a party, or people over, we will ALWAYS have plastic cups available, if not for any other reason, definitely for this one!
