Happy 5th Birthday, Bennett!

I do not know where the time has gone, but here we are.....

(Extra large birthday cake was due to a rained out final tee ball game that we had hoped would end with a birthday celebration.... Best laid plans!)

Poop-tastic Party

When trying to decide on a party theme for his 5th birthday, Bennett struggled to narrow it down to just one. Eventually I gave up making an issue of it and accepted that we would make it a celebration of all of Bennett's favorite things. And so we sat down to compile a list.

Legos
Ninjago Legos
Lloyd the green ninja
Nexo Knights Legos
Aaron the green knight
   (Are you noticing a theme?)
Miles From Tomorrowland
Curious George
Oceans
Space
Baseball
Donuts

It was getting a little out of hand and so I joked that we should add 'poop' to the list. It was a joke. A joke that received rave reviews and became our sole theme. I should have known better.

So, we went with it and threw an epic poop themed 5th birthday party for our fun-loving, sweet, awesome little guy. The entire day I couldn't shake the thought that we were either the most amazing parents in the world or the absolute worst. The jury is still out on that one.

Not to take attention away from the amazing poop glasses, but check out his birthday party menu - chocolate chip pancakes, stinky cheese bagels, and crunchy cheetos....

Tee Ball Time!

It has been a very rainy, unpredictable spring and summer. Many of our tee ball games were rained out but we made the most of the games we did have and had a great time with new and old friends on the tee ball field. ⚾💙

Charlie's First Communion

Charlie was a ball of nerves. Our party venue needed to be changed very last minute. The weather was not very May-like. But it was a beautiful, blessed day with our friends and family.
