Adam's Family Birthday Party

It's funny how at the beginning of the summer, I always wonder what am I going to do with all my free time...with my usual activities like mom's clubs done during the summer and this year preschool...it looks like we'll have so much time on our hands. This can be a good or bad thing with 2 energetic little boys :-). Anyway, I somehow manage to fill all that time up, and it becomes a busy summer. I know...not really an excuse for not blogging, but enough people have yelled at me about the lack of pictures that I'm finally attempting to update. I'm way behind, especially on birthdays, so I'll try to catch up slowly. At the beginning of the summer, we met my sister and her family and went camping, then at the end of June, Adam had VBS at his preschool church. My mom and dad visited in early July and we celebrated Adam's birthday (with a party and 8 five year old boys!!). Then Adam had VBS again at our old church, where I also had a part in helping out. So, now I finally have a few minutes to catch up and I"ll try to catch you up also.

Over the 4th of July weekend, we celebrated Adam's birthday at my in-laws house with all the family. We tried to keep it low key, but we did end up ordering Little Caesar's and I bought cupcakes from Costco (they had a coupon for that week...and I was trying to keep it low key, since I would be making a cake for Adam's birthday party...I know, I can't believe I bought a cake!!). He had a lot of fun with his cousins (as you can see by the pictures of him and Ricky) and got some Batman toys/puzzles, some more Geotrax accessories, and an outdoor toy. Andrew doesn't look too enthused in the picture (because he's pinned in the high chair), but he did enjoy the cake, and he loves playing with his brother's toys. Oh, and as usual, Adam only ate the frosting off the cake...for some reason he never eats the cake,

Well, that's it for now...I'll try to update more later!
