A Happy Birthday and Monday Faves: Beachy

Happy Monday! I hope you had a fabulous weekend :) Ours was super busy, but great :) My littlest sis' graduation went great! It was great seeing two of my three sisters - my oldest sis had to work and couldn't make it :( - and my parents :) She and her roommates and all of the families put together a great cookout/picnic and the weather was gorgeous. Wow I miss the Shenandoah Valley and the gorgeous weather and mountains! We had a wonderful day yesterday as a family - going to church, naptime, running errands and a yummy dinner out :) My sweet hubby and son gave me wonderful cards (my son's had a voice recording of him saying "I wuv woo mama!!" - Priceless! I was seriously brought to tears when I opened it :)) and a new Canon Powershot camera - Yay! I love, love, LOVE my Canon Digital Rebel, but since it's so large, it's hard to carry around everywhere (read: won't fit in my purse/pocket) and capture everyday moments and outings. Super excited to have this cute little camera just in time for our trip to the beach.

Our Mother's Day Picture - How I love my sweet little family :)

So, today is my sweet son's 3rd Birthday! Yay! Happy Birthday Jimmy! :) I absolutely cannot believe it has been three years since he was born. My, how time flies! We are going to have a little celebration just the three of us today, and then a big family celebration at the beach this week and then a little party with all of his and our friends after we return. I guess you could say it will be an extended birthday celebration :) Fun tidbit of info- we celebrated his 1st birthday while we were at the Outer Banks 2 years ago :)
Monday Faves for today - a beachy theme -- thinking about, getting ready, and packing for the beach! So excited! :) All Jimmy can talk about is the beach and seeing dolphins like Flipper (he loves watching Flipper with his daddy on hulu), and of course his family :)
