Emerson's birthday par-tay!

Here are some shots from Emerson's party and the aftermath!

The cake...enough said!

(for more information: go see Amy's cakes on the side to the right)

The girl must've had jumping beans for lunch...she was all over the place!!!

Piggies were flying everywhere!

Mr. Jason had a slam-dunk with Nolan!Ya-HOO!!Ms. Angie & Caroline had a great time on the slide!

Nolan knows how to ride the slide!

Nothing like a head-first slide!

William wasn't too sure about the slide, but Daddy Phil sure liked it!

The slide was a big hit, even for the adults! I'm not sure what to say except Emerson was having fun!
Much better!
Getting some energy back after a long play-session in the arenas! Emerson wasn't sure how to react to everyone singing to her!Emerson is two-for-two in blowing out the candles! Have I ever told you how much Emerson likes cake?Ms. Roxanne pauses from the yummy cake to cheese it up!

Peyton is such a ham!
Two exhausted little bodies!
Emerson shares the throne w/ Caroline & Cam!
Like these two will ever pose for the camera~
Amazing that these three were caught in one frame!
Here are all ten of us - we had a GREAT time!
Caroline, Cam, Nolan, Carter, Lukas, Emerson, Paul (back), Webb, Peyton & William

Burning off some energy (from the cake) once we got home!

I was hopping all over the garage!

I put it on, I take it off. Repeat 20 times!

The morning after, I sat down and opened my presents. Here are some shades from Nolan!

See you soon!

The birthday gift...some assembly required!

For Emerson & Webb's combined birthday gifts, we decided to get a playhouse/swingset. It's a work in progress. Webb is uber excited about the project and even helped while we were staining!

Most of the finished product The mountain of mulch for underneath the playset

The fill dirt to make the area level

The mini-supervisor
He can't WAIT for the job to be done!

Easter Egg Hunt!!!

We had our friend Peyton and his mommy and daddy over for an Easter egg hunt and brunch. We had a great time finding the eggs and playing all morning. This basket is getting heavy!

Gosh, there are a lot of eggs to find!

Peyton is a pro at this!

The boys were trying to figure out how the Easter Bunny laid eggs in the tree?

More eggs?

Wonder what the surprise inside is?

Happy Easter!
My crazy, Easter morning hair. I wouldn't sport the ears for nothing!
