Relaxing Saturday Night!

We had a great time going to Market Square on Saturday night!  It is always so lively, and the weather was really nice too!  We ate at Trio's, shopped a little, and got some yummy ice cream at Marble Slab!  We also ran into a few friends :)

The fountains are always a big hit :)

His first time sitting in a booth for dinner..no high chair or booster :)

Cheese!!!

He has been a lover of "DIPS" for as long as I can remember....he is being a little dramatic here...haha!

We ran into the Glasgows...and the boys loved chasing each other in the area that said "KEEP OFF GRASS!"

We had to stop by the Mast General Store to get Colton his favorite treat these days...SUCKERS!  All in all, a great night!

A Moldovan Wedding!

As most of you reading this blog know, our family has become pretty close with our Moldovan neighbors!  Last weekend, their oldest, Marcica, got married!  Josh's mom and dad kept Colton, and we enjoyed a "date!" 

She looked so beautiful walking down the aisle with her Dad!

My favorite pic...her dad kissing her away!

The new Alex and Marcica (don't know how to spell their last name :)

It was a "cultural experience" for sure...as Josh and I were the ONLY Americans!  Thanks to Veronica for translating..haha!

Meeting Briggs!!!

I was so excited to finally meet Baby Briggs!  He came into this world Thursday, May 19th at 1:47 pm.  He weighed 7 lbs and 12 ounces and was 20 inches long!  I am so excited to share the wonderful gift of motherhood with one of my best friends!  Here are a few pics from our second visit! 

Look at that PRECIOUS face :)

The camera focused on the cutter one in the pic..haha

Colton liked meeting the new editon, but wasn't so into it when his Daddy was holding him!

Gram and sweet Briggs!

We love you Briggs!

Animal Farm!

We enjoyed spending more time with our Texas cousins last week by going to one of Papa's friends farm!  They had lots of fun animals, and the kiddos got to get "up close and personal" with all the animals!

All of us (except for Nana taking the pic)!

He loves animals...and seeing them up close was super fun!

Staring down the antelope (2nd largest antelope in the world...we were told)

Antelope kissses for Colton :)

Showing the pig his tummy...haha!

He was  having a blast!

Hello Horsey!

He was pretty brave and fed the horse!

Colton loving some Papa time!

They had a bear!!!  It's not everyday that you get to "ride" on a bear with your cousin!

Celebrating ALL Moms!

This year for Mother's Day, I was so happy to get to spend it with my Mom and also Josh & Colton!  We went to church, then ate lunch with Nana and Noelle & her three kids!  It is so special being a mom...and so wonderful having an awesome mom too!

Colton's Birthday Party!!!

We celebrating Colton turning 2 last Saturday at Sterchi Hills Park!  It was the perfect place for all the kiddos to play on the playground and enjoy yummy pizza and cupcakes!  We were so thankful for all of our family and friends who were there...and the beautiful weather too!

It is still hard to believe that our baby is TWO!!!

I made the cupcakes...4 dozen and only had 5 cupcakes left ;)

He enjoyed everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to him!  One cute thing he did was when I took out the "2" candle and star candles...he would put them back in the cupcake!  He must've thought it looked better with the candles in the cupcake :)

We love how birthdays bring families together to celebrate...we were so thankful that my mom (Tee Tee) was able to come from VA, and my brother's fam from DC, and Josh's sister's fam from Texas all came to help us celebrate our big boy! 

Colton with ALL 5 of his cousins!!!

Tee Tee and Nana

Colton had plenty of "help" opening his presents!!

The Gibsons got this infatible ball tent with Mickey Mouse and the gang all over it...a combination of his favorite things :)

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!

UT Baseball Game!

On Friday evening, we ate at Litton's and enjoyed watching the Vols play a little baseball.  The weather was perfect...and one highlight was seeing one of my all time favorite students there :) 

Cousin Play Date at Tataru's!

Colton got to spend some fun time with ALL five of his cousins at Tataru's on Friday morning!  Yes, his Texas cousins flew in for his big birthday bash too :)
