Jack is 6! Sam is 3!

Birthday parties are big fun around here. We had a lot of fun at our six and three birthday this month!

We had our own special birthday cakes.

We had some yummy food

Yes, this is one of our children. He ate BEEF at this party. I'm as shocked as the next guy. This feat has not been repeated since.






We had a cool guy make some balloon art




We decorated our own eco-friendly water bottles (though, Keith did say, doesn't putting paint on them make them no longer biodegradable?)





We had fun!

But we were exhausted!

Sam VERY NERVOUSLY feeding the giraffes.


Take note, this doesn't happen very often at our house. Jack was actually trying to help his brother.

Our map reader for the day. He was very proud of his skill.

A friend in my mom's group took these awesome new photos of the boys. Enjoy!

Sam's First Soccer Game

There are two men in my life who don't live here that are dying to see Sam in action (Dad and Shane). So here he is, in all his, ahem, glory?

The video is totally worth watching. Sam is supposed to be kicking off. Then he is supposed to be, of course, PLAYING, when what he does is wander around the field. At least he is cute, and he does still have pink shoes!

Mimi and Papa Dean Visit!

Terri held a tarantula when we all said no thanks! She's so brave!
