PAR-TAY!!

Friday after the girls’ haircuts we popped by Lisa’s for a little play date.  Josie had a banana, which is James’ favorite food ever… can you tell?

James was the only boy.  Didn’t bother him!

The next morning we went to Aiden and Seth’s birthday party!

Oh man, if this mower had a weight in the front, James would have been everywhere with it!  He still loved pushing it with Daddy’s help.

I’m looking at the clothes people are wearing in the pictures and it’s just so funny.  A few days later as I’m writing this, it’s 44 degrees outside!

Kimberly and Scott had this cardboard space shuttle set up for the kids to decorate and play in.  I’m LOVING that idea and may steal it for the girls’ birthday party (in just a few weeks – yikes!)

There were lots of stations set up (all space-themed!) in the backyard.  What fun! 

I’m just happy Joanna hasn’t the slightest idea how to hold a gun.  (We don’t do guns of any kind around here.)

This boy is SO CUTE!!

And even though it’s overexposed (or whatever technical term is actually appropriate), I love this face!

There was a piñata, and Natalie actually collected more goodies than her sis – a first!

Scott made the coolest rocket ship cake ever!!

James tried out a walker.  He liked it, but it was too short for him to stand up comfortably.  He loved the concept though.  :)

And now a series of pictures depicting Joanna picking on someone not her own size (try two years younger):

Oh!

Poor Judson.

Happy birthday Seth and Aiden – we love you guys!

That same afternoon, at the same house (!!) we had a baby shower for my friend Kendra, who is expecting Jaxon in January.  Wahoo!!  I took not one single picture, so I’m waiting on some of the ladies who did.  AHEM!
