Greyson's 1st Birthday and Mother's Day

We had a big weekend celebrating Greyson's birthday! On Friday (his actual birthday), Scott, Greyson and I hung out together. That night the 5 of us went to supper at Five Guys where Greyson chowed down on his first hamburger. He seriously ate more than Scott, my 4 year old!! Robbie said he is going to be our "Blindside"! :) Then we headed over to Tyler's school for the Mustang Fest. On Saturday, we had a big party for Greyson in my parent's backyard. It was a perfect morning and everyone had a blast! The theme was a monkey party and my awesome friend, Jennifer, made his cakes...she did an amazing job! You will see pictures below. Here are lots of pictures from our celebrations.

Greyson's own little cake


He was so funny about digging in. I tried to put his hand in it but he didn't wasn't so sure about it. I put some icing on my finger for him to taste and he loved it. But, he just didn't want to dig in. So, then Robbie goes over to try and the picture after this one shows what he did!


Poor little guy! :)


Tyler thought it was hilarious!


My sweet friend, Rebecca Butcher, took some great pictures with her awesome camera! This was a sweet one she took!


Mr. Jon came and made balloon animals for all the children. I had asked him to make monkeys but when he started making the tree limb all the boys got excited that it looked like a snake! So, all they wanted were snakes! :)


I love this picture! :)


And this one! :)


Tyler drew a monkey for all the children to use to play Pin the Tail on the Monkey

In lieu of gifts for Greyson, I had everyone bring something to donate to Annabelle Baskets. To learn more about what Annabelle Baskets are, you can go to the link on the side of my blog. It is an amazing ministry that my friend Rebecca started in loving memory of her daugther. Here is a picture of the things donated:


Here are a few pictures from Mother's Day. It was a sweet, special day reflecting on the joy of being a mom to 3 amazing little boys!
