up on the mountain

Sunday was the first day in a long time that we were able to spend the whole day together as a family with no responsibilities. Fico has been in school and working pretty much all day every day ever since this semester started, and we really don't get to see much of him anymore. I have so much respect for how much time and effort he puts into everything he does, with hardly a complaint. I am so grateful that he works so hard to provide for our little family, and he is doing such a great job. 

So anyway, this Sunday we went up the mountain to Monte Sano State Park to let Casen run around some, and boy did he! We need to let him out of his cage more often because he took a great nap that afternoon after we went out to eat. I actually got a little nap in myself! It was WONDERFUL. Then we went to dinner at my parents' house. All in all it was a great, relaxing Sunday. 

Oh yeah, and Auburn finally won a game. War Eagle :)

Birthday Picnic on Monte Sano Mt

To be honest I'm not a big birthday person. And I hate that for my children, so I will eventually need to work on that, or they will hate me. But for now, Casen is only two and doesn't even know it's his birthday. Since he's already had one family birthday party with Daddy's side of the family and will have another probably this weekend with my family, we decided to keep today chill and just go up to Monte Sano State Park. It was a gorgeous day so we packed ourselves some lunch and headed up the mountain :) Casen played and played until it was time to go home and take a much needed nap! It was a good time. And we got a couple good shots of his new clean clothes before he plopped in the creek! Haha. Oh well, what more can you expect from a 2 year old boy?

P.S. Shouldn't mothers be celebrated on our children's birthdays too? After all, we are the ones that actually gave birth  to them. Just saying ;)

 He wanted to take his clothes off and get in the water. Lol.

There were annoying gnats all over the place so he kept slapping himself in the head... Over and over. It was really pretty funny. 

Much too preoccupied to talk to Mimi.
