Birthday Party

-
Yesterday we hosted some friends for a birthday party to celebrate two babies turning 1.  Another friend turns 1 today and we thought a joint party would be a fun idea.  We had an ice cream bar with all the toppings and some yummy cupcakes.  I think the decorations turned out cute!
The cupcakes were Neapolitan... brownie bottom, strawberry middle with with icing.  My friend did a great job!

Sam was so proud to sing Happy Birthday to Jacob and help him blow out the candle... twice:) (Yes, the picture is blurry!)



This is the best little boy shot I could get. haha!

Jacob loves cupcakes and followed it up by drinking some cold milk!

Jacob was blessed with many gifts from our friends.  He enjoyed opening them, with some help from the other three big kids!


Jacob received a cardboard house which he has played in the majority of the time since his birthday party finished!  Great gift!


It was a great way to celebrate two soon-to-be-walking one year olds.  We are looking forward to seeing the two of them grow up, become friends, and get into trouble together in the years to come!

Your apartment and the decorations is so nice and the cupcakes look delicious, Jacob certainly seemed to enjoy them. The cardboard box house was a great idea. The boys may enjoy it more than anything that was purchased.
Love, Grandpa and Grandma P.

Busy Couple Days

We have had a busy couple days trying to get everything together for our trip. My mother came over the end of last week and it has been so helpful. I have been able to do errands and gather our needed supplies for the trip. I haven't taken many pictures but we have had a fun time and the boys have enjoyed their time as well. Friday we did the majority of our packing and tonight we are going to finish up. Yesterday, we enjoyed some time at a playground in the morning. In the afternoon, my mom and Sam went to see Toy Story 3 (his first big screen movie) while Hap, Andrew and myself went to a birthday party. Sam got these glasses pictured below at Wendy's yesterday and we might try and see if security stops him in the airport:) This evening we had our last team meeting and it was a wonderful time of praying and sharing about what God has been teaching us as we prepare for this trip. We know that it seems odd to some that we would take our children literally half way around t...

On Saturday, Nathan, Heather and Caleb came for a visit.  We had an absolutely beautiful day, and we wanted to spend the day outside.  Some people had recommended Maymont Park.  Maymont is a park that is hundreds of acres with a stone castle and barn, some animals, and lots of space for the boys to run around. Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
