Christian's 2nd Birthday

christian's 2nd b-day was a blast. it was an animal themed party, so everyone wore animal print and there were animal plates and animal stickers etc. christian got to get the first hits on the lionhead-pinata.

he's a natural at sports, so he did well!

then his dady showed him his first present, and hung it up. christian had been asking for a swing for a while. he was so happy. and we use it everytime i go to visit!

next came the birthday 'cake'. it was delicious rice krispies with m&ms. can you see the cute little animal candles?

time for presents. this is the first birthday where he really understood the idea of presents, so he was excited.

lots of cute clothes for a growing little boy.

(please excuse stefanie and christian, they like to be ghosts sometimes!)

it was definitely a

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Diamondbacks Game

my mom and dad went to prescott for a conference, and dave and i watched the boys. mom works for MPS and they have speical deals on DB tickets. she bought enough for dave and i, thomas, stef, christian, carter and sam to go. it was so much fun, and we were really excited about the fireworks show after!

sammy chose to sit in front of us, alongside some silly asians.

here is one of those silly asians. yep. whipped out this little number, to record the game. awesome

i don't know what happened to carter's hair, but he looks like he's pullin a cindy lauper do!

here's me and bubs. he sat with me for a good while, and would constantly move from me back to mom and dad!

here's me and my davey!

christian thought everything was a little loud. but i think he started the night with a fever, so loud noises, not so fun.

aren't they so adorable?
