We are having such a busy summer we had to squeeze Brock's birthday in between beach trips, swim team, and other fun events! Not many of his 5 year old friends were going to be in town the week of his birthday so we just invited a few good buddies over after swim practice and had a great afternoon celebrating our Brock man!
For days (maybe even weeks) in advance he made a point to remind me that he did NOT want icing on his cake. So we picked a chocolate chip cake and made it together the day before. :) He loves helping in the kitchen.
I thought it would be fun to sing to him outside and blow out candles. Unfortunately the wind kept blowing them out.. we tried twice and then just moved our little party inside :)
And sang to him for the THIRD time... he loved it :)
Favorite gift: huge lightning McQeen pillow. Thanks Cooper!
Happy birthday Brock-o-lee!! We love you to the moon. And back. :)
She's growing WAY TOO FAST. 3?!?!?!
Besides being completely heartbroken over her "big girl age" we had a GREAT day celebrating our wonderful Lyla. It was Labor Day.. and daddy actually took the day off! We started with pink donuts at Dunkin Donuts.. then went to play at the mall (it was raining.. which ruined our park plans). We had a surprisingly fun time at the mall playing and shopping and having lunch (with all the kids! and they HATE the mall! But we had a BLAST!)
Later that day Lyndsay, Myles, Travis, Kali, Cooper and Ellie came over and we had dinner and cake. She had a very fun day and asked for days afterward if it was still her birthday. :)
