Birthday Madness

I know - I'm just bombarding you with all this new reading material. When I don't copy pictures on a regular basis, this happens. This weekend was an endless flurry of excitement as there were two birthdays to celebrate. Since Tyler made his entrance into this world a year and a day after Ethan, we were partying nonstop. We were privileged to get a visit from my Uncle Dannie on Friday night through Sunday. He stayed over with us and we had an awesome time munching In N Out and watching Survivor. It was so fun to have him with us! Saturday we had a big homemade taco bar to celebrate Ethan's birthday. My Uncle Gary and Aunt Nancy also joined us along with my cousin who is going to Biola, Cheryl (their daughter). We were blessed with the Washingtonians this weekend (I'm thinking they brought the rain) and loved every minute of it!!

Ethan giving Gramps a kiss for his blocks. My dad made a huge batch of blocks and what Riva and I call "pads" of wood to build things with. He spent so much time crafting each one and even I'm getting in on the building action. It brought back many memories since my Papa made us blocks when we were little. Dad divided the blocks up and completed the sets for our families. Thanks Dad!!! I know what I'll be doing during naptime. Woodsy houses, here I come!

And here we are - the whole crew! I didn't realize that Tad made an appearance in the front. Can you believe everyone is looking? Amazing!

Spending time with Uncle Dannie. We were getting tired of pictures, but Uncle Dannie is very loved!

So how do these things work? By the way, living in an all boy house is much different than when I grew up. Now we build houses and shoot them down with dart guns. I guess I'll have to get used to that.
