Happy Birthday, Pokemon King!

Pokemon King turned 12 this weekend. My, how the time flies! He is growing into such a fine young man. I am so proud of him! He had a sleepover with some of his friends to celebrate.

We love you, Pokemon King!

Rocket Turned 5!!!

Our Rocket turned 5 years old on Dec. 30th. He's growing up so fast! We didn't have a kid party. Probably next year we'll invite a few friends. So, we just had some family over. Here's a few pictures to commemorate the occasion.

Here's a picture of the cake. For those not familiar with Super Mario, this is the character Boo.

We took him to Toys R Us to let him pick out a few toys for his birthday. This is one of the things he picked. Not sure why, but they were inseparable for the rest of the day!

I think he had a great day!!!

Happy 5th Birthday Rocket!!! We love you!!!

Happy Birthday Yesterday Babymoon!!!

Wally's Birthday/4th of July Party

Since Wally's birthday is so close to Independence Day, we like to gather at Grandma's house to celebrate. Her next door neighbor is very into fireworks & creates a wonderful show for the entire neighborhood. Here's a few pictures from the occasion.

Happy Birthday Wally!!!

Wally turned 16 yesterday. I just cannot believe it! We are sooo not old enough for a 16 year old!

Wally-you are growing into a fine young man. You do your best to set a good example to your younger brothers. You don't care what other people think and you are your own person.

WE LOVE YOU!!!

Dinodude's Birthday Party

Dinodude had his party on the 6th. He wanted a Scooby Doo party. He and Rocket have been watching a lot of Scooby shows lately. We played a game called Pin the Bone in Scooby's Mouth. Here's a before picture of Scooby. I drew it myself...not bad, eh?

Here's the after picture with all the bones.

I really wish he was more excited about his gift. Sheesh! 

I'll huff & I'll puff & I'll blow the candles out!

Another game we played was Making a Mummy. They teamed up with a partner. Each group had a roll of toilet paper and one of them had to get wrapped up as a mummy. This is Rocket.

I think this one is Dinodude :)

Here's the cake. The characters are from our Scooby Doo chess set. Frankenstein just couldn't keep his face out of the cake, so he's covered in icing. I kept telling him to wait until we cut the cake and I'd be glad to give him some. Hee Hee!

We also did a pinata. It was a bull. It wasn't very big. It held maybe 1/4 of the candy. So, Pokemon King and his friend stood by with the rest of the candy in a bowl and when the pinata busted, they just started tossing the rest of the candy down.

The last game we played was a treasure hunt. They split up into groups & had to find Scooby's missing Scooby Snacks. I hid those graham cracker Scooby Snacks & they went searching for them using clues I gave them. 

We actually have a lot more pictures, including the kids trying to bust the pinata, but I don't really know how their parents would feel about having their children's pictures on here, so you'll just have to try to imagine what it looked like. I'm sure they all had a great time. 

Happy Birthday Dinodude!

Today is Dinodude's birthday. He's a whopping 8 years old! I'm still in shock. Great things happen when you turn 8. Dinodude is looking forward to 2 main events: scouting and baptism! As you view his montage, keep in mind that it truly is Dinodude and not Babymoon, although it's difficult to tell sometimes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DINODUDE!!!

WE LOVE YOU!!!

Pokemon King's Party

We held Pokemon King's party over the weekend. We had so many boys here, but it seemed like they all had a lot of fun. They had a Super Smash Brothers tournament and we did a pinata. We thought about having another game or two, but fortunately we didn't. There just would not have been any time left! Here's some pics:

Happy Birthday Pokemon King!!!

Happy 11th Birthday to my Pokemon King!

We love you!!!

Happy Birthday to My Eternal Companion

Bond had a birthday yesterday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 

We love you so much!!!

He also started his new job yesterday. He was in training most of the day. Looks like he'll really enjoy this job, too. Unfortunately, we still need to keep the paper route. But, oh how happy we are that he has a job. An actual salary job, too. Not commission. 

I went to Best Buy yesterday to buy his birthday gift (the new James Bond movie on Blu-Ray). Can you believe...they were completely out! I was so upset. I also went there to get a new keyboard for our mac. Babymoon decided to share his formula with our keyboard. Our keyboard didn't really enjoy that...so he decided to stop working! I took all the keys off and cleaned it thoroughly, but he still didn't want to work. So, I attempted to get a new one at Best Buy. Our old keyboard was a wireless, but for some reason the new wireless ones don't have a number pad. How can a keyboard not have a number pad?! So, I was going to get a wired one, but they were all out. Before I attempted to get what I went there for, I let the boys take turns playing the Rock Band drums. Now, we have that at home, but for some reason they have to play them at Best Buy as well. So, we spent 30 minutes at Best Buy and didn't even get what we came there for!

Bond's mom was taking him out to dinner for his birthday last night, so they stopped at the apple store so he could get the keyboard. They come home with the awesomest keyboard and a brand new wireless mouse. Can I tell you I'm in love?! Thank you Oma!!!
