Birthday's Galore!

We celebrated Joel's 5th birthday and Caleb's 7th birthday this weekend. The party started Thursday morning with donuts for Joel and cupcakes for his class. As I reflected back I can't believe that my baby is 5! He repeatedly tells me not to call him my baby - but he will ALWAYS be my baby! Although he was a surprise to Craig and I he undoubtedly completes our family. We continued his party with family & friends on Friday night. All of the grandparents came along with Addison, Aubree, Ms. Ashlee, Sunni and our neighbor Salmen. We had pizza and spider man cupcakes along with a baseball pinata that was quickly broken with a powerful swing by Christian! The big surprise of the evening was the gift of a Nintendo Wii (given by MeMaw & Papaw) to all three of the boys. All three of them were very excited and have not stopped playing it!

Saturday morning it was Caleb's turn. We had his party at Chuck-E-Cheese were a total of 11 kids joined us! It was fun seeing Caleb in a different element with all of his friends. He is definetly the extrovert of the family and I loved seeing him interact and just play with everyone. He never meets a stranger! He has declared twice to me that now that he is 7 he can take care of his self. I am not for sure what that means but he really, really believes it! His actual birthday is tomorrow. It is also grandparents day at school so my mom and dad are going to go have lunch with him! Finally then the partying will be over!

Sunday was a day of rest! Hallelujah - now we gear up for soccer games to begin this weekend and baseball the next!
