May the Force be with you!











Happy Birthday Ben! Ben turned 3 July 5th. He wanted Mac N' Cheese for his special dinner and then the next day we had a Star Wars party, complete with an appearance by Darth Vader and a pinata! It's was so cute when Darth Vader walked out the door, all the kids had black balloons and got to throw them at him, he whipped out his light saber and kept them off! So Funny! The pinata was also toddler friendly, you pull the strings until the right one pulls the trap door and all the candy falls out! We had the kids make their own personal pan pizza's on pita bread, (turned out awesome!) and then we played stick the darth vader control's on darth's chest! Good Times! I decided that instead of buying toys, we would let the kids pick whatever they wanted to do for their birthdays, like some sort of trip as a family,(hopefully Wild Waves when they get older!)and then I will take all of the pictures and make it into a shutterfly book! YaY for New Family Traditions! I love birthday parties! We love you Ben!

My two year old is looking at your post with me and in awe of your party photos! She just told me "Oh man, wow, what is this???" Those were her exact words! Nice work!

Happy Birthday Ben! I am sorry we missed your big day. Mollie would have loved to have been there. We are back in town, a crazy few weeks. Looking forward to our next visit and catching up. Hope you had a great time with your sister. Talk to you soon, Deb.

He is growing up so quickly, like mine. Leighton will be 5 in like 5 months. I can't believe it. You look like you are enjoying your life up there. I wish we could come visit you. Let me know when you will be here again. I really do miss you.
