Smoke, Bubbles and Snakes!

For the first time ever I broke down I had Vin's birthday party at a destination and it was awesome! We went to The Lab at Lakewood for a science party. Vincent was the lab assistant, although he refused to wear the lab coat. All the kids and parents had a great time with the experiements.

He'll go to  camp there for 5 days later this summer. I'm sure he'll have a blast.

Vin Turned 5!

Sweet Baby Vincent turned 5 on Sunday. He was with Mayme & Grumps visiting the Beckwith’s all weekend so we didn’t get to see him until late afternoon. I felt like it took forever for him to get home. I packed him a birthday surprise in his suitcase for the plane ride.


The first thing he did when he got home was open his gifts. He received a basketball goal, pool toys, PJ’s, a gum ball machine but… the big gift from Uncle Mat  & Aunt Jaime was a Wii. Vin lost his mind screaming and jumping around when he opened it. It was fantastic! It was the type of reaction you always want your children to have and rarely do.

Now I’ll only see Vin from behind for the rest of my life. See picture below.

It was Grumpy's birthday too as well as Mother's Day so there was lots to open and help with.
