Happy 2nd Birthday Baby Boy!!!

I can't believe my baby boy is already 2 years old! It just seems like yesterday he was born...my how fast time goes by. I guess he's not a baby anymore, but now a toddler I suppose I should say. He will ALWAYS be our baby though! We invited a few friends & family to celebrate with us at John's Incredible Pizza Co. It's like Chuck-E-Cheese's...but wayyyyyy bigger. The kids love it! The have multiple rooms to choose from to eat in once you select your food. We thought the Cartoon Room would be most appropriate, though some of the guys wanted to go into the sports room since the playoff games were on. Vincent was excited to see all his little friends and to open gifts. He is one lucky boy!


Hard to see but it says:
HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY VINCENT


He was trying to figure out how this
thing worked. He just couldn't push
enough air through to make noise!


Auntie Lacy & her "Vinny"


Vincent saw his lil' friend Maleah & wanted to
give her a hug--too cute!

Grandma & "Papa" love this kid to death!


Happy Birthday to you...


He needed help blowing out the candle!


Yummy cupcakes


Tearing apart his first gift


This boy just LOVES hotwheels! I wonder where he
got that from? Daddy has him trained, I swear! Rich
will ask Vincent to show him the Camero...and out of like
10 cars he will pick up the right one. He does it with all
of them; Bus, Firetruck, Corvette, Jeep & so on.


His fake little boo-hoo cry!


Who doesn't love Ski Ball?


Looking dashing on the carousel pony!

Christmas Morning 2008

Christmas morning was a chilly one...especially at 4:30 a.m.! YES, that's when Mr. Vincent decided he wanted to get up. Mommy and Daddy only went to bed a few hours early so needless to say, we didn't want to get up quite yet. We brought Vincey in bed with us & even gave him a warm milk bottle in hopes he would fall back to sleep for a few hours. That didn't happen! So at 5 in the morning, there we were, opening gifts & smiling for the camera. Some say that Vincent must've known that it was Christmas and that he was excited to open presents, but I think not! =-)

...not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse!

Santa brought Vincent a Big Wheel!

He calls it his motorcycle--too cute!

This kid is sooooooooo loved from all his Grandparents,

Aunties, Uncles, Cousins & friends. Time to gather all his

old things and donate to the Goodwill. He won't even know!

He had so much fun opening his presents

this year & especially LOVED his Tonka trucks!

Christmas Eve 2008

HAPPY BIRHTDAY MOM!


Me, Rich & Vincent at Lucille's...YUM!

He knows if you you've been bad or good...

Rich and I took Vincent to see SANTA at Bass Pro Shop. At first he seemed like he wasn't gonna have it! Then the old dude flashed a candycane & Vincey and Santa were best buds! We said, "SMILE"! At that's what we got. A scrunched-nosed cheeese! Too cute!
