Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Robert and I both had nice little birthday celebrations this week. On Monday, we had dinner followed by Olexa’s cupcakes! yum!
Robert had plenty of help blowing out his candles…
and he might have even gotten spit on just a bit!
Silly boys.
On Wednesday, I got spoiled by Mrs. Susan and the boys…
Baby Mantha really liked my birthday crown! 🙂
We had a good dinner complete with a candle in a cookie. Can’t beat it!
Here’s to a great year ahead for us both! Happy Friday!
It’s my birthday! Happy Birthday to me!
Pretty sure all I could ever want is in that picture right there. Cheers to another year!
Woohoo!! It’s Robert’s Birthday!!!
We sure do love Dad! He’s the best soccer coach, chess master, bath giver, football teacher, and tickler we could ask for. Here’s to a wonderful year of adventure and fun ahead!
39 and holding strong!!! 🙂
Today is a very, very special day!
It’s the birthday of the one and only awesome GJ!
She helps us in every possible way,
and even lets the boys climb on her when she comes to stay!
We love her so much and always want her here to play,
We just wish she didn’t live so far away!
So, help us celebrate and shout HOORAY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, GJ!
Maxwell is basically having the never ending birthday. He had his party with Susan, his friend party, and then we still had to celebrate his actual birthday plus celebrate his birthday at school! Phew…turning 5 is fun!
On the morning of Maxwell’s 5th, he had a giant surprise waiting for him in the kitchen!
Leonardo was there to play ninja all day! ha! Spencer quickly claimed the other balloons as his because, as he told us all day, “it’s MY birfday!”
We even had a special “5” breakfast!
Maxwell then had to get dressed up and head to church to share his big day with Samantha. I don’t think it really bothered him because it just meant he got to play with his cousins, Katie and Anna, after church. He couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present than that! He requested a “brownie cake” instead of regular cake and, thanks to a springform pan, I was able to make that happen!
He sure was happy to blow out that “5” candle! Maxwell started school the next day so on Wednesday we sent him to school with a birthday treat for all of his friends. He told me on Monday afternoon that he really wanted Spiderman cookies….ummm…those definitely seemed above my pay grade when it came to cookie decorating! But, with a little help from YouTube, I figured it out and ended up with some pretty cool looking Spidey cookies if I do say so myself!
The most important thing was that Maxwell thought they were awesome and even “tasted better than he thought they would!” ha!
He had a great school birthday and even got a crown made out of his favorite colors!
I sure do love this little 5 year old and loved getting to celebrate him over and over!
