Too. Stinkin. Cute

They are completely and totally best friends. Nothing sweeter.

Happy Birthday Drew!!

Our Drew baloo,

Happy Birthday little monkey! We can't believe you are already 2! These have been the fastest, silliest, happiest years of our life. You came into the world fast and furious and have been the same ever since. You are determined, headstrong and curious. There is nothing sweeter than your little voice saying "I too" for I love you and wrapping your arms around my neck.


You love music, cars and animals. Oh, and how can I forget...balls...footballs, baseballs, basketballs...it doesn't matter, if you can throw it, it works. You spend hours in your playroom and are quite content to hang by yourself. Although there is nothing you love more than silly time with your brother. Oh how you giggle when Luke chases you. "See dat Mommy, See dat Daddy" are constant phrases....you are amazed by little things and love to see how things work.


You have your own way of doing things, and when you don't get your way you let EVERYONE know. Your way or no way is the only way. Your are persistant and eager to learn and you don't give up until you get it right. You have shown more than once that you will find a way to get it done, and you will fight for it if you have to. You love to say "I did it" and you always did do it, right or wrong.


Drew, you are our little wild one. You climb, explore and discover everything. There is no obstacle to small for our boy. You will figure out a way to get over it, under it or usually, in it :) There is very little that holds you back...skinned knees? no problem. Bumps on the head? Rarely seems to hurt you. You love to push the limits and see how far or how high you can get.

You are sweet and loving, caring and strong. You have made our family complete.

Here are a few pics from the last two years.

The first moment you met your brother.

Barely a week old and on vacation
Big time Charger fans....

You adore your Momo (and I think she pretty much adores you)

And your Papa....oh how you love your Papa.

You have absolutely brought our family complete joy. We love you so much and Happy Birthday Baby!!

Some people have blankies...

My boys have blankies that they adore and sleep with every night. Well.....their Papa has an iPhone :)

Being that we are on our annual beach trip and I love a good ol trip done memory lane....Here are our traditional pics.

Happy Early Birthday Drew!

We are on location at our annual beach trip. Drew is turning 2 on Sunday so we decided to have his birthday party here. Here is Drew before we left...he is one funny boy...he loves to strip down and wear his "birthday suit" :) If he could, he would be naked all the time. Lovely, I know :)

We spent the morning at Playwerx with Kel, Ethan, Jett and Lila. But first, a picture of the brothers.
He was in heaven and spent a lot of time in the ball pit.

Little Miss Lila was there, looking cute as always

The crew of boys....they were sweaty little messes by the end.

I don't think Jett wanted to leave....

We headed back to the condo for presents, food and cupcakes. I caught Drew getting a little sneaky peeky...

He was given so many nice things....he really loved this zoo track from Momo and Papa

Then he spent some time loving on his littlest cousin

And the best part, chocolate cupcakes. :) 2 of them for the 2 year old
