Happy Birthday LalalaLindseyann!!

You have ALWAYS been my role model, favorite playmate, and best friend.My heart is content when we close our eyes, and just strum, always in sync with eachother.

^^best friend necklaces^^

^^I really shouldn’t be ok with myself in this picture…but I love it because its me and my favorite….^^
^^Scary Movie^^At this time, Lindsey, I would like to formally thank you for all of the times you “allowed” me to sleep on the floor next to your bed because I was scared in my room, and for all of those times you (grudgingly) accompanied me to the bathroom in the middle of the night to protect me from monsters. You’re a real good sis.

She is one of two girls (my momma being the other, of course) on this planet that always, always, understands me and I never need to feel judged. Only her can I have a pointless, hilarious, deep conversation for hours on gchat. I have no doubt that we chose to be sisters in our life before Earth, we knew we couldn't live without eachother constantly there, or at least, I begged and begged her to be my sister and she agreed ;). Love you sis. My heart breaks every day we are apart! But I bet you had a wonderful birthday with your incredible family and the wonderful life you have created for yourself. You continue to inspire me and be my big, role model sister/best friend!

p.s.Atlas of course sang you his yearly happy birthday to aunt lindsey song (although, this one had a lot of airplanes and rocket ships in it, I think the birthday theme may have been slightly lost….), but I have been fighting trying to get it on the computer! I don’t know why it won’t work…anyways, consider yourself loved on your birthday by Atlas too! Oh an Urban was totally was part of the song too, she was naked, I thought you would like some jiggling in your birthday video….)

All You Need are Balloons

Really. That is all you need for a successful two year old birthday party!
Well no matter what I do my little man continues to get older. Sometimes I realize that I’m not correcting him on his words to pronounce them better because….I LOVE the way he says them! With all of his w’s replacing the r’s,  his silent s’s, and the way he seems to put n’s in front of everything… You try telling him that the word for Oatmeal is NOT “noh-wee-oh”…
We threw a small bday party. He really does love playing with his little toddler friends and I’m so glad they were all able to make it (along with their parents who I equally love!)! We get together with these little people + their mommies several times a week. And playtime usually wears long into naptime because we’re always having such a great time together.

Thrilled by his special Thomas Balloon

it’s an inflatable punching bag that Atlas loves to bounce on with friends

We Gave him a Tball set and a soccer ball. They had a ton of fun hitting with the tball in the living room, until it was just too much to share just one bat. Then we put it away for the night. Hey they all shared pretty well for as long as they did :). Mike is also making Atlas a very special gift that is not yet finished. Gifts not pictured: an adorable little red tie from friends, A cozy “pet pals” thomas the train pillow from Gparents D, and some spending money from Gparents S that we will have a blast with at toys’r’us this week (but he thought the gift was the card with the elephant….he loves elephants :).

The Thomas PJS were also a bday gift from us (that we actually just had because we forgot to give them to him to christmas…). The party went pretty late, and by the time he got into bed he passed out reading “just go to bed” with the light on! What a cutie. Party hard.
