Friends, Pool & Pampo's Birthday...

Sorry again for the delay in between posts. Here is what we have been up to this past week...

Friends:
We were feeling a little sad since we haven't been able to spend much time with our friends lately, so we decided to have them over for pizza, salad and cookies. Yum, Yum, Yum and what a fun night we had. Owen, Olivia & Cami had a blast playing together and Brandon and I had just as much fun catching up with everyone. Here are a few pictures from the evening.

Here are the bestest friends eating their delicious pizza dinner together.

Here is Owen & Olivia wrestling. It is pretty much their favorite thing to do together.

I think Olivia is winning.

And Autumn slept peacefully through all the chaos.

Pool:

Well, last Friday was Brandon's last day at home for his paternity leave. So sad, 2 weeks flew by. Anyway, we decided to take Owen over to my parents house to let him swim in his favorite pool they got him. Brandon was a good Daddy and even got in the water to play with him. Owen had a blast and I enjoyed watching them play while Autumn and I hung out in the shade! It was a bitter sweet day for me since I knew it was my last day with another adult in the house to help me out. Here are some pictures from our day.

Owen loved playing with the hose.

Nana loving on Autumn. How sweet!

Taking a break from swimming to have a drink and a snack with his Pampo.

Yes, Owen somehow even managed to talk Pampo to getting in the pool with him. He is quite spoiled.

Owen and Daddy wrestling. Their new favorite thing to do together. Ugh, boys!

Pampo's Birthday:

Saturday was a pretty fun day. Not only was it my first day as a Stay-at-home Mommy of two little ones, it was also my Dad's 53rd Birthday. Well, the day actually went way better than expected. Autumn was a little sweetie and Owen was on his very best behavior for me. Not only did I survive the day alone with the two of them, I even made it to the grocery store with the 2 of them to pick up some much needed milk and bread. Around dinner time we headed over to my parents for my Dad's Birthday dinner. Brandon met up with us over there after work. Here are some pictures from our evening at my parents house.

I know a lot of people worry about the older child when you bring home a new baby, but let me tell you, Owen hasn't felt any less loved than before Autumn was here. See What I mean!

Here are my parents opening up a belated Anniversary present from me and my sis. August 2nd, was my parents 30th Wedding Anniversary. Wow, what an amazing accomplishment. And its even better that they are actually still in love after all these years. What a great example for Brandon and I to follow. They are a wonderful couple who have always put God at the center of their relationship and household, I hope Brandon and I always do the same.
And of course, Owen was not going to make Pampo open his Birthday presents all by himself.And if he assisted him with his presents, why not help blow out his candles too.
