Happiness....

Happiness is, of course, subjective.  I would say, I have had a huge dose of happy the past few weeks, and I just have to share. 

Fun new bike!

Cooking and baking project, leaving behind a mess, but some great tastes!

Big boys being cheesy, rocking cool hair, and mud-splattered after a bike ride.

Adorable purple shoes.

And everyone all fancy for Easter.  Happy Spring!

Birthday Bonanza

It was always fun that Jon's birthday was exactly a week before mine (8 days on leap year.)  My due date for the boys was something like March 20th, but I was SO excited when they were big enough (and I was HUGE enough) to deliver them when I was 37 weeks, and my dr thought that their birthday 03/04/05 was pretty cool, so we ended up with the majority of our birthdays in the same week.

This year the boys turned 6, and Jon and I turned 30.  Normally we just do something small for our birthdays, and something big for the boys.  But, hey 30 is a big number, a new decade, so we decided to go for it and have a day of party.

The day started out with a "Mario" themed party, full of other six year olds, and pretty typical backyard/basement games.  It was a good (crazy) time.

Then a family dinner out followed by tucking the kids in bed and getting a babysitter so we could go to a party for grown ups at Laura's house!  YAY!!!!

Hello Beatles Rock Band!!!! Overall such a good birthday celebration, we are so blessed with great family and friends who love to have fun!
