Joseph Turned FIVE!!!

As parents, we love our "Birthday Dinner" tradition! We love the fun evening one-on-one with the birthday child! But the fear has always been in the back of our minds that one day, one of our children COULD choose Chuck E Cheese for their dinner...and we would have to do it! Joe was the child! Luckily, we were able to meet dad (and sneak some siblings out of school) for lunch and the place was EMPTY! It was great...well, you know what I mean!



Joseph LOVES Angry Birds! This year we surprised him with an Angry Birds themed party!



Megan was a huge help with the decorations!! She did a LOT of coloring and cutting! Dad made a giant Rice Krispy "Yellow Bird"!




Grandma and Grandpa came down for pizza dinner...yes, more pizza because not everyone got to go to Chuck E Cheese! :)



Once again, grandma and grandpa hit it out of the park with the gift...a Nerf Sword! The stuffed Angry Bird, I can admit, is a close 2nd!

Never a dull moment...

Most of you know Brandon's love for marshmallows. This summer I stocked up on some of the HUGE campfire mallows which are honestly at least the size of a baseball!



I know better than to leave the boys in my family (ANY of them) alone for very long! Luckily, the boys in my family (ALL of them) are stinking adorable!

Jared's Blue & Gold

Jared's Cub Scout Blue & Gold was a few weeks ago - and along with it came the traditional Father/Son Cake Decorating event.



This year Team Lee built an iPhone!



And it turned out pretty darn cute!
