One last Birthday Hoorah & Plenty of Cousins!

A Cousin-filled Weekend

Colin and I started the weekend with babysitting his cousins, Aidan and Alexei on Friday night. We had a lot of fun! The boys were all very well-behaved and were so good at taking care of Colin. Alexei showed him his Thomas Trains. Colin is getting into Thomas and can say "choo choo" whenever he sees a train. With all of Alexei's trains, we heard it a lot - so cute! Aidan made sure Colin got to watch a show that he would like and made sure he had enough food and juice. Juice is another word Colin is starting to say. When it was time for the boys to go to bed, they both gave Colin a hug, it was so cute!

On Saturday, we went to watch Aidan and Alexei play flag football! I love sports, so I really enjoyed watching them play. At one point, Colin was playing with a football and he walked down a hill to retrieve it. The crowd was cheering and clapping for a play in the game, but Colin thought it was for him! He grabbed the ball and had the biggest smile on his face.

After a quick nap for Colin we headed up to Maryland to visit with Ann and Jamie. Will's brother, Jamie, had his birthday in September as well. So, we all got together this weekend to celebrate both birthdays. Liz, Michael, Will, Colin and I all went up to Ann and Jamie's house. I always enjoy hanging out with them and love to spend time with our nephews Ryan and Brady. Ryan is so much fun...so much energy! He gives us a preview of Colin in a few years :) Brady is soooo adorable!! He is just a few week younger than Colin so it is a lot of fun to see the two boys together. Ann made delicious crab cakes!! Colin had so much fun with his cousins and Rusty, Liz and Michael's new puppy! Rusty loved the attention of all of the kids...he is such a cutie.

I also thought I would throw in a picture of Colin enjoying Daddy's birthday cake (yellow cake with chocolate frosting - Will's fave) that we had on Will's actual birthday. He LOVED it! Colin does not get to eat too many sweets, so he always enjoys any opportunity for sugar! Such a cute! Will and I will have to get back on track! We have been having so many desserts throughout his birthday month!
