Saturday is a Special Day

Saturday was an amazing day.  It started with the baptism of my niece, Ashley.  Ashley is my brother's sister's daughter, and I remember when she was born.  It's really neat to see her grow up, and I'm so proud of her to make the decision to be baptized.  After the baptism, we went to my nephew, CJ,'s birthday party.  CJ turned 3, and they had a fun party at his house to celebrate. 
 
The morning was a lot of fun, full of a lot of extended family... and would you believe that I forgot my camera.  Yep, I had made a mental note to take it with us.  I put it on the counter.  And yet...  Well, there isn't anything I can do about that.
 
But Saturday night was special too.  We went to the park for dinner again.  I have really enjoyed our recent weather and can't think of a better way to share it with the family then the park.
 
Oliver loves to have the room to run and explore.
Melanie made friends, instantly, with a few girls that were at the park.  They eventually left, but she enjoyed them while they were there.
Brandon made us dinner...  And it was wonderful.  Isn't he handsome?
Mom was at the park too.  Self portraits are much cuter with little people in them.  (Even if the little person is giving the "oh, mom, do I have to" face.)

Oliver thinks he is a big boy that needs to use a big boy cup.  He is pretty determined.  Unfortunately, he hasn't figured out how to do it without drenching himself.

I love my family!
