Birthday Boys!!!!

Luke's birthday seemed to last 3 days long! Matt had to go out with the missionaries on Luke's actual birthday (Friday) and so we decided to celebrate on Thursday night with our family after I got back from dance and Matt got back from his corporate 5K that he ran in. Well we got back and Gavin was asleep (he was actually still asleep from his nap that started when I left for dance at 3:30 and it was 7:30 when I got home!) Talk about marathon nap (must be growing). So by the time Matt got home at 8:00 Luke wanted to just open his presents first before we went out...well he didn't finish until about 9:00 and Gavin was still asleep so instead of going out we had frozen chimichanga's and frozen waffles for dinner! What a birthday dinner! :)



Emma gave Luke some Rescue Hero action figures


Day 2 of his birthday started with green pancakes that said his name. Nicholas and Brooke (our neighbors) rode to school with us that day so it felt like a party even in the morning. Then that night we went to Chick-Fil-A for dinner.





Day 3 of his birthday was his friend's party. It was a pirate themed party and it turned out to be a blast! I had made a pirate cake, we had hot dogs with little pirate sails on them, we decorated pirate swords, they got to walk the plank and jump onto the tarp (which was the water) and pretended to swim ashore. Then the 2 highlights were the cannon ball throw (water balloons). They took Matt quite a while to fill up all 100 and they were thrown in about 2 minutes! Then we had balloon swords that they sword fought with and that lasted about 10 minutes until all the swords popped on the grass! What a fun day!

Poor Matt had his birthday 3 days later but I was all partied out and worn out and so his was a little low key, he says that's how he likes it, but I think it was even lower key then he expected! SORRY Matt! Next time you can have the pirate party! :)


Check out all those candles!!!! He could even roast marshmellows with all the heat the cake was giving off!

Those cakes are something else! I love the pirate ship! How on earth did you do that?
And Matt, Matt, Matt...you are one old man!
So excited to see you guys in the summer! We're having our annual 4th of July party on, you guessed it, the 4th of July! It'll be at our house. If you guys can make it, we'd LOVE to see you there!
