It's hard to believe that the Abs turns 5 in a few days. 
She's going to school next year, and that is even MORE unbelievable! We celebrated Cinco de Abby this weekend with a fun painting party and dinner with the fam at a Benihana-ish steakhouse. All pictures should be preceded with the fact that Emmy also had a bouncy party that morning and NO nap in between! Emmy concentrated VERY hard on her painting, which you could obviously tell by the tounge. She won't keep that thing in her mouth! 
Abs blew out her candles like a pro and then promplty chowed down on the "pinkalicious" on the cake. 
We headed home from the party pretty tired, but decided to keep on going for dinner. The kids had mixed reactions to the bennihana show, but the fire got them everytime no matter who's table it was at. 
It was a weekend with a lot of partying and tooooo much eating. Put a fork in us!

-Started school. Here he is in his big boy Shark Jammies on the first day. They call him the "big man on campus" because he's a little ahead of his baby friends and rolls all over the place. He evidently already has a girlfriend too that he flirts with over meals.
-So big that he can sit in a high chair!
-But is pretty determined to climb out of just about everything else. We found him dead asleep like this in the swing. 
- Is working on his third ear infection already , this time a double one. We are about tired of ear infections, antibiotics, probiotics, diaper rash, diarhea, and everything about the doctor's office. Like his sissy, he never runs a fever and acts happy anyway. You can just tell he doesn't feel good by looking at his eyes.
As you can see what we really needed was more food. 
After getting pretty stuffed
we went home to eat pie and cupcakes, DUH!
We took all those Valentines to her party at school. It's a cookie decorating party, which means and Icing eating part to Emmy. She ate most of the icing directly off the spoon it came on, put enough icing on the cookie to appease me,licked it off, and ran away to find ANOTHER juicebox. I have never seen anyone with a bigger sweet tooth. I seriously think she's worse than me! 
Here's Emmy and her school bestie, Bianca.
Of course this year she was totally into it. She ran around squealing trying to find the clues. Of course, this may have just been about the candy. She is OBSESSED! 
After the hunt, Blake cooked me a yummy dinner. Look at these fancy potatoes!
Beckett even got to taste a little of the pie. I think he liked it a LOT!
Happy Valentines!
But the best ones had to be the Best Bud pics . Check out these handsome studs!
I can't believe that it's already been 3 years since this one, which was taken for Valentine's as well. 
And a few glamor shots individually.
