Happy Birthday Beau!

I'm a little late (over a week) but I wanted to wish my baby a happy 1st birthday. I can't believe he is one already. This year has flown by. It's been a difficult year at times but I'm so proud to be Beau and Olivia's mommy. They are such loving and sweet kids and I wouldn't change a thing. Well maybe I would change Beau's sleeping habits if I could:) He sleeps good but gets up right when I need to get up to start getting ready for work. He's also been having a hard time going down at night. It takes about an hour for him to fall asleep. I've been letting him cry it out the past few days and it's KILLING ME. I hate to do that but he's never going to learn if I don't.

We were actually in Myrtle Beach for Beau's birthday with Sean's parents. We also celebrated Olivia's birthday there too since they won't see her on her actual birthday (June 12th - she'll be four). We had a wonderful time. It was so nice to get away since it's been so long. We went to the beach a couple of days, visited the aquarium and Alligator adventure. We also spent a lot of time at the pool. We also met my parents in Virginia the first weekend in May to go camping in their new motor home. We had a lot of fun that weekend too. I wish we had more vacation so we could do things like that more often. Our next trip is to Disney World in November. We're staying at Fort Wilderness in our camper. My parents and my brother and his family are also going. I can't wait - Olivia is going to be in total overload there. I'm going to sign her up for the breakfast with the princesses. I think it will be something she will always remember. It's not cheap - $150 - but I think it will be worth it. I guess nothing at Disney is cheap though.

Beau is meeting all of his milestones but he's not walking yet. He's almost there. He has been trying more this week. He gets into EVERYTHING too. He'd rather eat stones out of the fireplace, climb the stairs, play with the Dustbuster, pull the flashlight out of the wall or play in the bathroom near the toilet (so gross) than play with any of his toys. I don't remember Olivia being so hard to keep up with. He's a boy - that's for sure!

My sister-in-law Caity is working on a cruise ship somewhere in Europe right now. She's a dancer and performer. We watched a video of her performance while we were in Myrtle Beach. We're so proud of her and I'm so jealous. She's getting to see things most of us will never have a chance to. She's so lucky to have this opportunity. We missed you on vacation though:)

Not too much else to talk about. I'm sure a lot of funny things have happened since the last time I posted but if I don't post it right away, I forget. I really need to do this more. I just wish I had more energy and more time. Maybe someday.......

Oh yeah - I know I suck at adding the pictures in a particular order. I really need to learn more about adding pictures and stuff. They are completely out of order which drives me crazy!!!
