Crosby's birthday

Little Crosby turned ONE while we were in Disneyland so we decided to throw him a little party and BBQ. My dad's birthday is a mere 2 days later so we celebrated his as well. We had a little Easter egg hunt with toys for the kids, yummy food cooked by my dad, and sprinkles cupcakes (which in my own little humble opinion ARE as good as the hype)
We love our little Croz and we have so much fun with him. He's Callum's best friend and I truly could not imagine life without him in our family. It feels like he's been here all along.

At his one year appointment he was 31.5" long and 20lbs... Pretty much he is tall and skinny :)

Crosby here is what you're up to lately:
Your first word (other than mama, dada and baba) was "ball" and you are a natural athlete. You LOVE playing with balls and have quite the arm!
You are very vocal. You just tell us stores all day long and I love it.
You took your first steps while we were in California, but you weren't a true "walker" until just a couple weeks ago.
You love water and will play in Lola's water dish, the bath, even the toilet because you love to splash! you literally try to climb into the bath while I'm still running the water and you're still clothed.
You are a pretty good eater and your favorite foods are bananas and raisins. You also love cheese! (ugh I'm outnumbered!)
You love to play rough with Dad. I always try to come in to save you, but you're always laughing and having a blast.
You don't always love when Callum plays too rough though. :)
You laugh soooo hard and soooo easily. It's so much fun to tickle you and be silly because you just belly laugh all the time.
You love the way things feel. You dive into soft fluffy blankets and roll around in them and enjoy the way it feels.
You were the FASTEST crawler! When you used to see me coming you'd laugh and dart as fast as you could like I was going to "get" you.
It's so cute how fun everything is for you. You NEVER complain. You never cry. You smile at everyone!
You love your mommy. When I try to pass you to someone else, you turn into a little koala bear and wont let go. You are strong too! It's hard to pry you off! I love it!
You LOVE when we put the blanket over you, like peek a boo. You love when we wave it over your face.
You are very brave! Nothing scares you.
You have a GREAT throw! I am always surprised by your coordination and athletic abilities.

Here are pics of the birthday. We love you Crosberry!

For our boys' first birthdays we get them a build-a-bear with their voice recorded in it so we always have their voice at one.  

Lately

Here are just a few photos of things we've been up to lately. I have so much fun with these little nuggets.
Best friends
at the Lady Antebellum concert on Valentine's day. Such a GOOD concert!

We had major nosebleed seats but still worth it!

Fell asleep with the sword right over his face on his cheek. 



our spring snowman! 
In California, Callum got into my mascara. I didn't realize until much later why he wanted it, but he saw it again and said "my sword!" He got it all over his hands and then all over his face. Cute little boy.

Pirate fort. Callum's latest OBESSION

More Disney Madness

We took SO MANY photos! Enjoy the overload!

I tried to get a photo of Britt with Geppeto but it didn't quite work :-/ 


The dads and their boys (plus Ella!) 



The filming of Modern Family-of course, it looked WAY better in real life, but here you can see Jay on the bench, and Gloria and Claire reading their lines. Plus directors etc.

I'm so glad my sisters share my love-nay obsession- for churros. Last time we were in Disneyland, I was alone in my pursuit of the churro stands, but not this time! Mmmm they were so DELICIOUS!

Nemo ride. Crosby LOVED IT!!






Ok this photo isn't the best but I had to post it because Crosby looks SO OLD here! It kills me!


It's a small world, after all!


Sweet Lils liked this one!


Too bad he doesn't have a personality :)




On Friday, Kachina and Marco came up for the weekend and we had so much fun with them! Here's a pic of all the sisters...

...And all our men!


So pooped! This is a RARE occurrence in our family.

One day, we ate at the Blue Bayou and they gave Crosby a birthday treat. Too bad he wasn't quite awake yet! 
The WHOLE FAMILY!! (minus our parents)



I can't tell if this is hard to see, but one night our parents met us in Downtown Disney and we ate dinner at the French Cajun place. I tried to take a panoramic photo because our family was too big for a regular photo! Mmm the food was so good, but our kiddies were a little beat!


And what trip to Disneyland is complete without a Mickey caramel apple? Needless to say, we ate ourselves silly this trip :)
