Leah's Birthday and Texas Trip!

We took our final trip to Texas this weekend before the baby comes, mainly for me to work, but we were able to have a family get-together to celebrate Leah's birthday at GattiTown! We had so much fun and Leah was in heaven with all the attention. Not everyone was able to make it, my mom had to work and Scott's parents and Jeff and Abby were out out of town with their kids but we still had a really fun time. I figured between working all weekend and a 4 year olds birthday party, maybe that will help me go into labor soon :) Jackson was finally tall enough to ride the Bumper Cars and he LOVED it. I have some cute video of him driving. He was pretty good at it, too!

We had to play this sprinkler shooting game like 4 times in order for Leah to win this pony she wanted, I think everyone spent about half of their money to make Leah happy. But hey, what the Birthday Girl wants, the Birthday Girl gets!!

Scott and I bought Leah a bike, she has begging for one for the last few months. Whenever we go on walks and Jackson is on his bike she gets jealous of him and having to be pushed in her red car. She just keeps teeling us, "I'm a big girl, I need a bike!" Well she got her wish and we found the girliest princess bike they had. It even comes with a backseat to put her dolls in when she is riding!

Leah, Luke and Jackson. The kids ADORE "Baby Luke" as they call him. They are so cute with him, it makes me excited to see how they are going to be with their new sibling. Luke is a little ham, he is always so happy and I think his new favorite place is GattiTown just like our kids, it must be in their genes.

Leah rode the rollercoaster ride and Aunt Lisa had to get in with her, I said I think she is the only one who could fit in that kid ride out of the adults :) She looked like she had a better time than Leah.

Jackson had to get his face painted like SpiderMan, courtesy of Aunt NJ. Leah did not like this one bit!! She was crying when she saw him and yelling "My brother's face scares me!" We had to keep him at the other end of the table during the birthday cake until she warmed up to his new face.

Leah had a Dora Cake, of course!!

Jackson on the Boat Ride, he loves this one!

Leah and her favorite Aunt NJ. I love this pic of them!!

Aunt Stephie got Leah a Dairy Queen Blizzard maker with all the candy a little girl could want to choose from. She was VERY happy!

Leah and Crazy Aunt Mel! Nj and Mel got Leah her very own Cotton Candy Maker!! Leah is going to be diabetic from all the sugar she got for her birthday :)

On Sunday night we were able to meet up with our good friends Alex and Ted for dinner with their little girl Daniella. It was so good to see them! The last time we saw them was Christmas when we told them I was pregnant and Daniella was only 9 weeks old! She is the cutest, sweetest little girl. She just loved playing with Jackson and Leah!

Look at those arm rolls!! Love it!!! I think Jackson had a little crush on Alex. He had to sit next to her during dinner and he kept talking to her about Dani. When we went to leave he ran up to Alex and gave her a big hug. He told NJ when we got back to her house that he thought Alex was pretty :) Oh no, it's beginning already!!

It was a nice trip, but it makes me excited that we are home and now all we have to do is relax and wait until this little baby decides to make it's arrival!! Nj is coming in about 2 weeks to stay with us until the baby comes and the kids are BEYOND excited. I just hope she gets here in time...
