Happy Birthday!

AP turned 32 on the 1st of February, and so began our celebrating! We packed up to celebrate on the coast with family and had a fun filled weekend of good fun/food, great family, celebrating, even a little kiddy parade for Lyds! She loves going to SuSu and Bo's, seeing the water as we drive along 90, and playing with Uncle Robert and Aunt Shaunna's puppies! We had Alan's favorite, pizza, at this neat little place downtown Saturday. There's so much to see and do in one weekend, but I think we squeezed a lot in this time. Thank you for the great fun, as always, we love the MS Gulf Coast!

Playing at a new little park in Gulfport right on the water! I can't wait to go back when it's warm and we can play more.

In the boat, all the playground stuff look like boats, it's super cute and very coastal.

Made it to the Pass for the parade! 

Silly Daddy and Bo time.

Of course, she has to push her stroller around everywhere now.

Some other kids were attempting to climb the tree, so of course, she wants part of the action.

She brought everyone flowers, even her new friend she made there. Sweet girl!

Looking for the parade to start.

A few beads

A lot of beads, a mermaid, an alligator, a purple football, and lots more! These little kids were so cute being pulled in their wagons, or riding their bikes. They went very slow because each parade goer had to stop at every other kid on the side and give them something. Lyds had a blast.

All her goodies.

She kept saying, "Oooooo, water!" And then she wanted to show "Abby-Dabby" the water too.

After nap time Saturday, we headed to Robert and Shaunna's to share our beads, and when she saw the big trees in their front yard, she wanted to climb them too!

Kinda blurry, but super sweet :)

Uncle Robby thought it'd be fun to prop her up on the window and I thought it was the perfect photo opportunity. 

Elvis in his beads! (She said Elvis was her favorite at Uncle Robby's.)

Poor Conway in the back yard while we played in the front yard, he also got beads, but I didn't get a pic of that!

Birthday boy at dinner.

Lyds got to blow out the candle.

She loves SuSu and Bo's piano!

The next weekend, we were off to Oxford to celebrate a lot of birthdays! We had Darcy and Andrew's 30th in January, Alan and Linda's at the beginning of February, and Meg's 30th in the mid February. We try to make a big birthday bash every year, and this one was a great one! We had an awesome time relaxing in Oxford with many friends and got some one on one time with the Rosses and baby Sam, since they were kind enough to let us stay their place so we could visit more (We always like more visiting time!) Thanks to all who came and made it possible and to KK and Troxy for babysitting all weekend!

And an update, because this past weekend (2/15) we celebrated twice again! Once with Amber and the gang at Soulshine for a joint birthday party and once at Kathryn's with all the Troxler's for Bubby and Alan's birthday! I love celebrating birthdays all month long, I just wish all this cakes wasn't at my house!

The extra good chocolate cake for Amber and Alan... thanks Emily!

But of course, Emily brought trick candles.... 

This was Sunday, and I forgot to get pictures of the birthday boys.... I guess that happens when there are babies around!
