The Birthday Continues........

I am pretty sure Wesley is going to grow up thinking his birthday lasts from August to December. He is still getting packages and cards in the mail and loves it! Last week we got a fun package from Grandma Tingey with a flying pig, jelly beans, new clothes, and other fun stuff. Aubrey got some darling little shoes. I showed her the shoes and she said, "oh cute foo's!". She got some other cute clothes as well. I didn't get pics of them opening that package. My camera has been "misplaced". I just found it today!! Hooray!!
Today, he got a package from Grandad and Granny Ann and a nice card with money in it from his Great-Grandma Bills. Thanks guys!!!


You may remember a previous post about Wesley and how he loved the gumball machine at his Grandad's house. He always hoped for a green gumball, which to our amazement, he almost always got lucky and got one. Anyway, he received his birthday package from Granny Ann and Grandad today and in it, he got a bag of green gum balls!! Cool! And he even offered to share them with Aubrey.

Wesley got some other fun things in his package; Another Thomas train, some candy, crayons, balloons, a notebook. Aubrey got a bag of candy also, but she doesn't know about it yet. I will give it to her piece by piece over the next few weeks. She will be thrilled.

Dad was cool enough to blow up all of the balloons for Wesley and Aubrey to play with. So far, only one has popped.

Okay, this is really random, but I had to show y'all what I am learning! My friend, Melissa, came over and showed me how to do some crocheting. So, I am attempting my first baby blanket. It has been slow coming, but has been so fun to do and learn. It is nice while I am just lying around to have something to work on, that at this point, doesn't take much brain power and I still have something to show for it. I struggled at first, but with practice, I am feeling much more confident. I am excited to learn more and hope to be able to find the pattern for the fun little purses my grandma bills made for my sisters and I when we were little girls, so I can make one for Aubrey. They were so neat. They folded down into a cradle, and we all had little cupi (however you spell that) dolls to carry around in them.
Wesley asked me what I was making the other day, and I told him a blanket and he said, "Wow! Cool blank mom!". So cute.
