Happy Birthday Little Man!


We celebrated LM's 5th Birthday over the weekend with friends and family! I can still remember when he was just turning 1. sniff sniff. Happy Birthday Little Man! We love you!!!

Here is a walk down memory lane:

LM in his official Birthday Hat.
1 year

I guess I missed his 2nd Birthday!
Here is LM at his 3rd Birthday Party.
"Can I take this off now?!"

LM at 4 years.

LM's 5th Birthday Cake!
Found these Star Wars tub toys online. Yay!

This is the look Daddy received when he asked
LM to take a picture in his Birthday Hat.
He now calls it, "The Lame Hat".

But then Mommy (me) asked nicely with a kiss on his cheek and he was all smiles.

Branson Trip 2012

This past weekend we took a trip to Branson, MO on a GROUPON trip! :D Package included 2 night stay, passes to the indoor water park, a show, concessions, buffet and the Fun Spot (arcade, bumper cars, putt putt & giant climbing structure with nerf ball cannons).

Little Man picked the Amazing Animal show and MAN were we impressed! They open the show by letting everyone know that all the animals are rescues and they encourage everyone who wants a pet to get a rescued animal. Then we watched tight rope walking cats, poodles that ride bicycles, huskies running obstacles, lots of other tricks and a finale with a cat leaping off a really high platform onto a pillow. LM loved it!

Then we visited the Largest Toy Museum in The World. Very cool! The Hubs and I were, "I remember that...I had that when I was a kid!" And LM found the big case with all the original Star Wars toys in it!

The indoor water park was great! A large structure with cargo nets, 4 water slides, spray guns and a giant 1,000 gallon bucket that dumps water on everyone, a lazy river, a hot tub for the parents and a little splash area for the tiny tots.

The Fun Spot has an arcade, black light putt putt, bumper cars and a big climbing structure with nerd ball cannons (LM fav). LM was too young for the bumper cars so we played putt putt instead. He's getting to be quite the golfer! :D

On our last night, we visited Historic Downtown Branson which was very updated to our surprise! The Landing is a waterside area with tons of high end shops with condos above, restaurants, fountains and outdoor music. Why didn't we visit this sooner!

Might try to visit again in the summer so we can see Silver Dollar City and Fantastic Caverns...maybe stay in a lakefront room. :)

25 cents, sit down, get your backside vibrated like crazy
and it rates your "passion factor"
The Hubs got "Sexy" and of course I heard about
it for the rest of the trip. :D

The Star Wars collection.
LM was SO EXCITED!!!
