Weekly Wrap-Up: 8/21/2013 And Happy Birthday Bear!

Yipee!! Today marks the anniversary of one of the best days of my life- and it was THE BEST day of my life up until then.  Today my baby monkey, punk, mr. bear was born 9 years ago!  What an amazing soul he is and I'm forever blessed that he chose to come be my baby and trust me with his care.  I'm the luckiest girl to get to be his mommy! :) Let's take a look at the little charmer way back when...

 Gosh he seems so little!  Time simply flew by!!

 Already the computer officionado at three years old

 Cheesy cheese :)

 The most loving brother you'll ever meet

 And such a little monkey!

 I mean, what's not to love about that face??

 And this one?

 And this one?

 More monkey business

And that's my little man at three years old :)  

Today also happens to be his sister's unbirthday- she is 18 months old today- on his birthday.  Such a fun thing for them to share, and they are the bestest buddies ever:

A little over a year ago

Well now that we've admired his ultimate cuteness from 6 years ago....wow!...here is what we've been up to this week: 

 Realizing it's his birthday week!

 You better stop taking pictures of me, MOM!

 NEVER!!!

 Typical :)

 Breakfast of champions birthday boy...at 5 in the morning...

 Yes, yes, fantastic parenting ;)

 Oh look- so much sugar has made him loose a few teeth

 And testing out the shredder with a picture of a stick figure saying "AAHHHHHH!!!"

 Ok, yes there are other children in this family! lol here's missy lady with some purty fairy wings

 Um, teasing the kitten is a 9-5 job, right?

 Weekly shopping...let me give you the rundown- Bear(pleasantly helpful), Bee(strapped in for dear life), Bug(I'm so over this), Tim(*you insert caption here*)

 First day of school this last Thursday- my grown up 4th grader! And yes, he wore this shirt twice in one week lol...someone's obsessed with Minecraft.  Do you have a 9 year old boy? You'll know what I mean.

 Bug's first day of Second Grade!  So anxious to get on the bus I could hardly squeeze this half cheese, half protest out of him.

 Don't forget the 6th member of our family- always finding new hiding places!

 One of the only times I've caught Bug spontaneously playing with the kitty so I had to snap some photos

 What do you think? Is Midnight having as much fun with Bug's version of "play" as he is??

 Grandma brought me one of Mommy's favorite hats from when she was little

 Oh and it fits me just right!

 No! It fits ME just right!

 Missy girl found her way onto this bin to watch a show, and wasn't sure how to get off safely...so she just sat there, and sat there, and sat there

 I guess that's a good a way as any to say THE END ;)

Hope your week was happy and healthy and that you tell your loved ones how much they mean to you this week and never take them for granted.  They are our greatest blessings! And don't forget to leave in the comments below your suggested caption for the shopping trip picture above.
