HaPpY EaStEr 2011

We had so much fun on Easter this year at our usual spot in Terra. We went with Andy and Lola and Lola's family. Gage had a blast playing with all the kids and they are all so good with him. He loved going down the big hills in the "hippo", he would say "go down the big hills Mom"!!

Gage was making "pizza'" & "waffles", silly boy!

he made a new friend in Jayden

we also went to Knolls for a few hours to see Papa and color eggs

*best friends*

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

I was so excited for St. Patrick's Day this year. I had been planning a surprise for Gage for weeks. The night before after Gage went to bed I made it look like a Leprechaun visited our house! I left a path of gold coins, balloons, and shamrocks all around the house that led to the table where his apple juice and french toast was turned green. Also next to a pot of gold was a shirt that Gage could wear that day!!

picking up all the coins

he kept saying "a leprechaun came to see me Mom?"

he even left a note that read "sorry for the mischief and mess, hope that this St. Patrick's Day is the best. Love Lucky the Leprechaun"

trying out his green juice

"CHEESE"

How handsome in his new shirt!!

I cannot wait to keep this tradition going year after year. I had so much fun planning for it and watching Gage's reaction!

MY BOY LOVES TO DANCE

After Disney on Ice we had to go home and get ready to go to Andy and Lola's reception. It was so much fun, Gage made me a very proud Mom that night! At first he was running around with all the other kids but as soon as the music started he was out on the dance floor!! He did not stop dancing for four hours. All the ladies were dancing with him, he would even get up on stage and play the air guitar then jump off. He was the life of the party (sorry Andy and Lou;), everyone would not stop talking about him. Even that Monday when Dusty got to work people were still talking about him.

We always dance and sing at home but that night it was neat to see a side of him that was a free spirit and who was just having fun!!

I took pictures with our phone so they are not very good, I am still waiting to get a disk from Lola then I can add more!!

DISNEY ON ICE 3/12/2011

Gage loves all the Disney characters so we thought it would be fun to take him to Disney on Ice. We bought tickets weeks in advance and we told him that we were going to see Mickey Mouse real soon. Well for weeks, every time we would get ready to go somewhere he would say "are we going to Disney on Ice?"

The day FINALLY came and he was so excited! We told him that morning that "today is the day for Disney on Ice!" He was so happy and didn't want to wait he wanted to go right then!

Patiently waiting to see what was going to happen! Let's Celebrate!

he was so excited to see Donald Duck

and his FAVORITE Goofy! He held out his arms and said "I want to hold him!"

This was at the end, the theme was Let's Celebrate and they went through all of the holidays! I took a lot of pictures but I wanted to put Gage's faves on here for his memory book!

And what was this?!? TOY STORY characters! It was Hamm, we could not believe it, we was not expecting to see them!

BUZZ LIGHTYEAR Gage's ultimate favorite toy!

and Woody and Jessie, his other favorites!

He loved watching the show, but got a little bored during the Princess part. I have to put this in for memories sake: I think Gage got so excited he peed his pants......literally! He was sitting on my lap for a minute and I could feel something wet. Sure enough he peed, I had just asked him before the show and he said he didn't have to go and I'm really shocked that he didn't tell me. Anyhow, luckily I packed another pair of clothes just in case. So Dust took him to the potty while I stayed and watched the Princesses. I was in awe just like a little kid when Ariel and Cinderella came out, they were my favorite!

During intermission we took Gage out to get a toy. Well he ended up with THREE! Of course we had to get a Buzz Lightyear, and a Buzz Lightyear sword, and a Mickey Mouse cup! All in all it was a great day, Gage is still talking about it and we can't wait for the next one!

BuBbLeS, bUbBLeS, BuBbLeS

This was Gage's first experience with a bubble bath!

"CHEESE"

they were pretending to be "Ho-Ho"

washing his hair...what a good boy!

VALENTINE'S PARTY 2011

Gage's Valentine party fell on a Monday this year, so I was able to take him and hang out with everyone for a little bit. It was so fun to see how Gage acts around the other kids.
