Lio Turns Four

Sep

19

I can not believe how much time has passed since Lio Turned Four already! It’s been over a week since this epic day, celebrating our little gamer.

We started the day with a shopping spree at the dollar tree and orange cinnamon rolls! The house was filled with balloons, more Legos, and playdough galore before noon.

If your kid is under the age of 9 and you’re not utilizing the dollar store to make them feel spoiled, what are you even doing?! $20 goes soooo far. lol

Lio’s “Big” birthday present was his very own iPhone 7. I know “phones” have a huge stigma in young kiddos….but lets be real. It’s no different from a game console anymore. lol

In the evening, we went to grandma Lisa’s & Pop-pop’s for a pizza party with family. They spoiled Lio with Minecraft Legos!

Note that James won his first “food eating contest” at the pizza party. Photos below. If you know the “Wellman Family Legacy” for food eating competitions, you know this was a pretty hilarious moment. Completely unprompted, he downed a slice of pizza like you wouldn’t believe.

We have a tradition in our family to bring the birthday boy to pick out their cake on their birthday! Lio picked a blue cake giggling “our mouths will all turn blue, hehehe.” He wasn’t wrong! He wanted to see everyone’s tongue!

After the Pizza Party, we went back home & Clynn helped Lio put together all his new legos. I love seeing how special we can make our kiddos feel on their birthdays. Mission accomplished. Happy Birthday, Lio!

Lio is really into Legos, Minecraft, & Roblox these days.

We hope 4 is your most fun year, yet!

Early October I got to experience an adventurous and romantic Swiss Autumn with my long distance partner. We traveled deep into the Swiss mountains, ate all the yummy food, met old friends, went to a dance party, made some new friends, enjoyed a private sauna with an impressive view, took naps, snuggled, and went on […]

We have to get a little creative here with our PNW Photojournalism. One of the first things you learn as a new natural light photographer is how incredible a big window can make any room look. A tiny corner in the most unassuming place, if sitting close to a window can produce the most magical […]

Tonight, I took the boys to the Everett Haunted Harbor community event! Everyone putting it on was so sweet and we all had a blast! Thank you to all the boat volunteers! We started with trick or treating at the boats, watching witches paddle board around the harbor, petting all the neighbor dogs, and watched […]

Hey, Mommas. Take a look at your babies now. Go ahead. Just take a quick peek. They grow. Today was a bit exhausting, wasn’t it? There were moments of things never being quite perfect. You tried your best and showed up in every way you could possibly think to and still, you fell short in […]
