A night without children

otherwise known as our 6th Anniversary!!! =]

Last Friday, we stayed the night at a hotel to celebrate our anniversary. Yes, we actually went a whole night without our children with us. (very hard for some of you to believe, I know) But, it was a nice break. We acted silly and were at Wal-Mart at 2am shopping for ice cream & soda. Ahhh, just like old times. But come 10am we were very ready to see our little ones and be Mom & Dad.

And I didn't have much time to blog during that week since I was cleaning like a mad woman so we could come back to a nice clean home. It's such a nice feeling.

However since it's gotten chilly this week, so I haven't kept up the clean home I had last weekend at all. That whole "having to cross the carport to wash clothes" gets me everytime it's cold. We will have it clean in time for the Thanksgiving holiday but for right now Ben & I are sick with some kind of bug.

Happy Birthday Wesley

Wesley is officially a 2 year old. I can't believe our little man is another year older. He hasn't grown that much, only 34 1/2 inches tall and a light 25 lbs. 7 oz. But his mannerisms do show us that he's growing up. We didn't do anything too special for his birthday today (the party's not until this weekend). He had a well visit with the pediatrician who said he looks great and no worries. I did take some pictures of him in his birthday diaper. (Thanks Anna!)And we picked Ben up from work and went out to dinner to celebrate. We even had the hostesses come around and do their clap & chant rendition of happy birthday for Wesley. He got a smirk on his face when he realized they were singing just to him, but the attention became too much and he slouched in his seat to hide his face. He was embarrassed, but he was sooo cute about it that Ben & I just had to laugh. He is definitely Ben's kid!
This is my favorite photo that I took today. It took a couple tries, getting him to focus where I needed, and lying on the driveway. I'm slowly getting better. =]
