this weekend was busy and fun but let me back up a little. last week i got to play with my friend's little boy, Carson, while mom went to an appointment. it's always fun to see avery interact with other kids. C is a brand new big brother so i figure it's good practice for him to learn to help and share with a little girl. he practiced feeding her and giving her a drink. he also learned that she can't catch a basketball yet, LOL! now to this weekend! my cousin is having a baby in september. they had a "gender reveal party", which in case you don't know it goes something like this. the sonogram tech writes down the gender and puts it in a sealed envelope. the parents then give the baker the envelope and he makes a cake and puts a layer of filling in the middle with either pink or blue depending on the sex. then, in front of all of their family they cute the cake and find out what they are having...coolest idea ever huh? i know, i'm going to steal it one day hopefully! oh, and also everyone wears pink or blue depending on what they think it is. i was wearing the right color of course and as you can guess mark had on a blue shirt with a pink shirt underneath (someone doesn't like to lose)! :)

we made sand castles

in case you can't tell what's happening here, see below

this makes me laugh out loud everytime i see it!

what is in that cup? haha this picture is also funny because he went to give her a drink and then decided he needed one first!

"i spilled my water, will you share?"

she's just so sweet

and this is what happens when you look at the baby for just a second. she has a new love for cheerios too!

what is it?

it's a boy!!!

this was their friend's daughter, i just couldn't resist those curls. i also love a girl who loves cake
