A Good Day

Luke & Lydia had their 3rd birthday party at Centennial Beach this past Wednesday.  They turn three on September 13th.  I love having their birthday parties outside.

The cousins were in town and the sun was shining... couldn't have picked a better day!

We started with some fun at the playground.




We had some lunch and tried to get everyone to smile for a picture.


Waiting patiently for the cupcakes... Lydia wanted pink icing on her cupcake and the boys, of course, had blue.  There was a nice breeze which made it a little tricky to light the candles.


Luke's trying to blow out his candle... sometimes it's hard to navigate that tongue.  Thank goodness he's got two brothers and two sisters to "help"!


Yum.



They had fun opening their presents.  Lydia was quite methodical about it and Luke was mostly concerned about putting the paper back in the right bag!

Back to the playground... Luke going down the slide with his cousin, Adi.

Even the big boys got some play time!!!

Luke's waving good-bye... ready for the bike ride home with Daddy & Joel.


The rest of us stayed behind and spent some time on the beach.  It was low tide and the kids had a lot of fun swimming and digging.



It was a good day!

Front seat drivers.

It all started out with some brotherly love.

Note how well they're sharing...



Luke decides to take over the wheel...



Joel, the strong and silent type, shows what he thinks about that.



Look who's driving now.



It was short lived... big brother wins again.

Jump Around

Do you remember the song 'Jump Around' from the 90's???


Everytime Luke starts jumping on the trampoline, I feel like breaking out in song.


I came to get down
So get out your seats and jump around
Jump around Jump around Jump around
Jump up Jump up and get down.
Jump, Jump, Jump......



He could be a rock star!!!
The trampoline is time when Luke likes to be alone.  He jumps, runs , bum drops and...


takes a break.





What more can I say... he's dar-nnn cute.

I'm seeing plaid.


There are days when my five & I are out and about and someone kindly points out that at least two out of my five are dressed in similar colors or patterns.  Maybe I do it subconsciously, but it seems to happen quite often.

For example...
