Happy Birthday Trevor!

So my nephew Trevor turned 5 and we had to have a party to celebrate. I already posted the sneak peak of his birthday treats. They were a big hit, well except for when Trevor took a bite into his cake pop and it fell of the stick. That did not go over well with the birthday boy, but he sure like the cupcakes. The boys and I head over to the house to help decorate and to entertain the boys before the party.

Colin was snacking while we were setting up, and I couldn't resist taking some pics. Love his baby feet!

All done! We are ready to party! Eli really wanted the pig balloon but the birthday boy said "No!"

Trevor gave his okay for the party treats after a close inspection. And finally everyone arrived and we could start the party.
Thanks Nana and Papa for the new Angry bird shirts for everyone!

Eli showing off his new shirt!
Cousins!
Getting ready for the birthday treats.

Notice how the birthday boy licked off all the icing before eating the rest. That's my nephew!
The cake pops were a big hit. And now it's time for the presents.

Okay, I know it is hard to tell from the pic, but Trevor is opening the present in the gift bag but is to enthralled by his new Lightening McQueen laptop. I guess he liked the laptop.
Now it is time to play with all the new toys.

Sneak Peak!

We are in the middle of war! The pigs have arrived and have stolen the eggs - so the birds have come to get them back!

A special birthday boy has requested an Angry Birds themed party for his 5th birthday tomorrow. Do you think he will be pleased? Happy early Birthday Trevor!

A lazy afternoon

I pulled out the camera because I couldn't resist taking this pic of Lucas w/Tovi. I had bought some new chairs for the boys and they were loving them. So much so that Lucas did his homework while sitting in his new chair. Now Tovi wasn't too happy w/that since he normally snuggles w/Lucas on the couch. Lucas told him that he couldn't fit on the chair w/him - but Tovi proved him wrong. Tovi waited through math and spelling but finally forced Lucas to share his chair when he began his reading. It was too cute!

Eli just finished his homework.
Noah was not sure why I needed to get out the camera!

Band

Noah had a quick band concert this week. I mean super quick - like 20min. It was just for Band 1 and Jazz Band. So, Noah played clarinet w/Band 1, and his saxophone for Jazz Band.

He does such a great job w/both his instruments! I am so proud of him!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a LOVE filled Vday. Here are some pics from our day.
Here are some pics of the yummy treats for Eli and Lucas's classroom parties.

Cards for the boys. They had already gotten their gifts. Cup stacking sets for everyone!
Time for some breakfast! See how I made them heart shaped Heidi?
Yummy breakfast, time to go to school!
Party Time! Eli's class played Bunco and ate, and ate and ate!

Here is my plate of treats! Let's see how many are left?
Think we have enough food for nearly 60 6th graders?
I ran up to Lucas's party but unfortunately I had missed him playing games. :( But he had fun and was enjoying some yummy treats. Esp the cheese he said.
Lucas and his prize for winning a game with puzzle hearts. Both boys had great sugary filled parties.
Time for Dinner!
Notice the heart shaped mashed potatoes on the meatloaf. And I am not a fan of meatloaf, but this was pretty good. Eli finished his plate before I even sat down. He insisted on heart shaped mashed potatoes on his seconds. Noah put in a request for heart shaped mashed potatoes on medium rare steaks for next year. That's my boy!
Any finally a pic of my Valentines! Nothing better then spending the evening with the three best boys! Hope you had a great Valentine's Day. Jules, I will bring in any leftover treats, but all the boys said they were not too willing to share. :( So, we will see! But with the book fair this week - I won't have time to make more this week, however there is always next week! LOL!

Walk don't Ride!

Okay, here are pics from Noah's play last week. It was a play about civil rights and the great work that several individuals made for equal rights. I learned a few things. A great play for the month of Feb. I couldn't get the video to work right, but I was able to get some stills of Noah in action! He did a great job! But he is glad to be done, back to back plays takes a lot of work.

Come back for our Valentine's day fun!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Sunday was my birthday, and the boys (with some help from my Mom) threw me two parties. They decorated the dining room and made me a great coupon book. We had cake and presents before I went to work.

Nana threw the jungle per Eli.
I so love my boys!
I was surprised by a car full of balloons! Lucas helped make some room for me in the car! :)
After getting to work, I was surprised to see Noah coming around the corner. He tried hiding behind his hands but he is a little too big for that!
One of my Bff's also came up with her boys! Thanks Brooke and the boys!

Look at the spread! We had tons of food and I was so surprised. It was a great for the boys to think of such a wonderful thing. It ended up being a busy night and it was nice to be able to sneak away to the break room and get great snacks. Thanks boys and Nana!

Activities

I was trying to group a bunch of different activities that the boys have been doing but unfortunately Noah's play was postponed due to illnesses. So, I will post what I have and update with Noah's play later. And I am so thankful for my coworker who is staying late on Friday so I can go to Noah's play since it was rescheduled on a night I am working. So thanks Katina!

Noah had on his serious face for his band festival.
And here is his funny face.
Eli and Lucas were in a cup stacking competition. They both did very well for their first competition.



Noah took most of the pic, I guess the above is a sort of self portrait. Come back for more updates!
