Life With the Bussis'- 1.15.2014

Oh my goodness, this is picture galore :).  We have a very fun week celebrating Micah's birthday and having fun with my parents (thus all the pictures).  So here we go:

Wednesday night (Micah's birthday) we had a little celebration with a big cookie.  Micah loves to sing happy birthday, so he joined in on singing with us :).

 

 

 Thursday we went to the Children's museum.  It was a lot of fun but boy are those little twins fast, David was all the way on the other side of the museum before I noticed he was gone (thankfully it wasn't busy and there are lots of volunteers and one followed him and one told me where he was :)).

Making a pizza

Cutest fireman I've ever seen!

Notice the nice red bump on Jonathan's head- he had a few by the time we went home :)

 Micah had lots of play time with Grandpa and Grandma

 

Drawing on his new easel (and he wants you to then take a picture of each drawing) 

On Friday we went to the mall to play.  The twins hadn't been there since they could walk, oh they had fun!

Jonathan can now climb on pretty much anything and wants to get anything he is not supposed to have.  My mom describes it as he lays in wait for you to leave your phone or ipad or soda or glasses or whatever he's not supposed to have and the moment you walk away from them he's there grabbing them.  It's very true, he is such a stinker!!

Grandpa is so much fun!

 Saturday night we had Micah's baseball party- hot dogs and nachos :)

This boy loves his cake

Sunday we finally had a nice day to be outside so Micah and Grandpa made a snowman

 I think we have some future golfers

Can't go outside without sledding

Micah was a little unsure about this hill so he just went down on Grandpa's back

We did lots of reading

Monday ended up being in the 40s so we took advantage and walked down to the playground.  It was blowing a little so we decided to push the boys in their bike trailers so they stayed a little warmer.

 

Grandpa made another snowman

Silly Steve

 

 It was a very fun time with my parents, thank you so much for coming out!!  We miss you already!!  Now that my parents are gone and I have to watch the boys all by myself again (my mom was here for 10 days so it was 10 days of 'round the clock help) I am reminded again how incredible naughty these two little guys are.  They just get into everything:

 

They are very much all boy:

 

 

 

 Micah had his 3 year well child check-up today.  He cried and cried before hand that he didn't want to go, he cried for the nurse when he had to be weighed and have his height checked and wouldn't let her check his blood pressure, and the he was great for the doctor. :)  We have an awesome pediatrician who made him forget he was at the doctor's I think :)  So since he did great for the doctor he got to pick out where we went to lunch afterward and he picked Panera so he could have a grilled cheese.  :)  It was fun to get to go out to lunch with just him, he is such a fun boy

And to show you how fun he is, here's one last video for ya:

Life with the Bussis'- 1.8.14- Happy 3rd Birthday Micah!!!

First off I need to wish a very happy birthday to my firstborn, Micah!  It's hard to believe that 3 years ago I became a Mommy!  Oh what a glorious day that was (a very, very long day, but a glorious one)! 

Our first family photo

Such a cutie!

I love being this little guy's mommy!

And Steve loves being his daddy!

 

And then here we are today:

It has been a wonderful 3 years.  Micah brings so much joy to our family!  He is just a wonderful big brother, he is hilarious, he is kind, he is entertaining, and he is just plain silly. :)  I can't imagine life without Micah and I am so thankful to God for giving me the opportunity to be his mommy and blessing our family with this little guy!  I love you Micah!!

 

We have had quite a day of celebrating.  First we went out to breakfast:

Micah got to each a big pancake and have chocolate milk, he was one happy birthday boy

Then we came home and he got to open a few presents.  Here he's playing with the new car rug he got from Grandpa and Grandma VH

Then we went to Toys 'R Us.  Micah is part of the Geoffrey Birthday Club and got a card from Geoffrey with a $3 gift card, so he got to go pick out his $3 toy.  Daddy was quite proud of him that he came home with a big putter and golf ball.  Just what this house needs, more golf stuff :)

 

Then Micah got to pick where we went to lunch and he picked Panera Bread so he could get their yummy grilled cheese sandwich.  As you can see, he loves their grilled cheese sandwich :)

It's so wonderful that my mom gets to be here for his birthday!

And now the birthday boy is napping so he can have some more fun tonight (I had to convince him that 3 year olds still take naps :)).  So it has been a very fun birthday so far and we still have lots more partying to do. :)

 

As for the rest of the week, well, we have spent a lot of it indoors as it has snowed a ton and been super cold!  But I guess it has it's perks, it means lots of times for cuddles (David on left, Jonathan on right):

 

Jonathan especially has become an expert on climbing on the couch so we spend a lot of time on the couch :)

 

New Year's Day seems like a while ago, but it was in fact only a week ago :).  We went bowling with Steve's family and his uncle and aunt and their kids.  Micah loves to bowl:

Grandpa B helping him line it up

I'm sure this one was a strike :)

You never quite know what these two are going to do.  David spent a lot of time standing by those bowling balls just checking out everything that was going on.  Jonathan liked to move around and is actually dancing here, you just can't quite see it :).

Another highlight of bowling, getting to hang out with cousin Bentley :)  These two have so much fun together

 

I hope you all had a wonderful week and if you are one of the lucky ones stuck in this bitterly cold weather, I hope you stay warm :)
