Dylan's Birthday Party

Dylan had a sleepover for his birthday.  We went to a movie and ate pizza.  The guest limit was limited to the number of kids I could fit in my car.  I was thinking that was a good thing when it was midnight and they were still going strong.  These pictures are all out of order, but I don't want to take the time to fix them.

They were so full from the Pizza that they hardly ate any cake.

Mark and I took Dylan shopping for is present from us.  We wanted him to have some input.  He was thrilled.  Now we just need to get him into some lessons.

We saw "Rango".  The kids loved it, me.....not so much.

Cade's Birthday Party

This year Cade wanted to go to Six Flags for his birthday.  He had a friend spend the night (his friend's brother is Dylan's buddy so he spent the night also).

Building the Lego set that his buddy got for him

Pancakes after Six Flags - cousins were able to come to Six Flags with us

It was crowded, but they still had fun

Cade's friend was the big winner

Stopped for ice cream on the way home

Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays

There are a lot of March birthdays in our family.  Two of my boys, a nephew, and a niece.  Since we had family in town on Cade's birthday, we celebrated 3 birthdays at once.

Since it was Cade's actual birthday, he got his own cake.

My nephew and Dylan had to share a cake.  My nephew is now 16 years old!!!  How did that happen?

The birthday boys.

Cade was thrilled with his presents.

Do you think he likes Legos?

My nephew was thrilled with his presents, really he was.  He was especially happy to get Black Ops for the Xbox.  He had got it around Christmas and had brought it to our house.  It was in the Xbox when the Xbox was bumped.  The game was destroyed.  He was so happy again.  He really wanted to play it at our house.  His mom and I most likely stressed to him that it probably wasn't a good idea.  He might have disregarded our advice and the Xbox might have been bumped again within minutes of insertion and the game just possibly might have been destroyed.  He was warned.

Dylan was thrilled with his new Bible

Chase's 13th Birthday Party

Chase wanted to go to the deer lease with some friends for his birthday this year. Since the deer lease in August is hot and miserable, we decided to wait and do it in October (and by "we" I mean "Mark"). The only problem is that Chase was not able to invite everyone he wanted to come. Some of his friends had sports that weekend, so that helped with narrowing down who to invite. Chase and his friends had a great time. There was fire, night vision, pigs, and 4-wheelers, and no one got hurt! Happy birthday, again!

Nate's Birthday Party

Nate was thrilled to have his birthday party at our neighborhood pools.

There was pizza

There were pools

There was a Batman cake

There were brothers and an aunt

There were buddies

There might have been a blue tongue or two

There were presents (not that I have sent thank you notes for them - I am HORRIBLE about that)

There was a happy Nate who is now 5 years old.  How, how, how did that happen?
