Party weekend!

We all can't believe our precious angel Bennett turned 3 last weekend! He is such a big boy! Trav and Kelly threw such a great party for him! Here are some pics from that joyous night...

I love this one---trying to figure out how to tackle the cupcake mountain!

Kisses from mommy!

Happy boy:)

Bennett's legs are literally longer than all of Charlie!

We decided it was time to give Charlie a little hair trim cause he has been called a girl on several occasions. This, as you can see, did not sit well with Grana. It took 3 people to get it done,,maybe a little too short, but ok! This is happening Grana! (sidenote-it was a butcher job. Ash did great, but just got a little edward scissorhands on me and got carried away. I took him to the girl who does my hair to fix it:)

The night before was our 5th anniversary! Ash took me to dinner at The Palm and we stayed to night at Hutton Hotel. Turned out he got an unexpected upgrade and we got to stay in the penthouse suite!

Beautiful roses,,,loved the vase. As soon as we got home Saturday I set the vase down on the table and it fell over and shattered. nice.

Every Speck's dream,,,,tv in the mirror in the bathroom! Dad is already trying to figure out how to get this in his house!

Our view from the porch..

Our view when we got home Saturday!

Charlie loves Gingerbread Man book,,,over and over and over and over...

this picture is a big deal actually,,,he is standing all by himself! thanks to all his therapists he is getting stronger everyday!

our nighttime stories...

Have a great week!!!!!!!

We have a few things to discuss here, but I will post very soon cause tomorrow is Bennetts 3rd birthday, and our 5 year anniversary. So I will post some pics from his party soon...in the meantime...

Major praise to our most gracious Lord! He moved my placenta completely out of danger! The main radiologist even came in to double check. He had never seen anything like that before! So mommy and baby are just fine!

Second praise--through the help of his amazing therapists at High Hopes, Charlie has learned how to sit up by himself! This is so wonderful,,however,,,one tiny drawback. He cant figure out how to lay back down! This can become especially frustrating for mommy at naptime:) But they have assured me he will figure it out. Till then, this is how he looks when I come into the room to try to lay him back down...

And this is how he will EVENTUALLY fall asleep!

So, we went to the Uncle Jerry's lakehouse for some fun family time last weekend..this is how the breakfast table looked at Cafe Sinclair after the tornado (our family) finished eating..

Aunt Koko playing with Charlie..

(out of order) Uncle Whit and Aunt Ali came by for the night,,notice Charlie's onesie!

Uncle Trav in deep thought..

So sad they are leaving us soon,,,but so thankful the Lord is leading them to where He wants!

Charlie sat perfectly content in Gran's lap for 30 minutes. Plus he was watching Aunt Kelly--who has amazing voices!!

Our first time to meet precious Coco!!! She is such a precious doll!!

Finally, I will be making my blog private cause,,well,,look at my comments and you can figure it out. So please email me your address and I will send you an invite! mereby20@yahoo.com
