A DINO-Mite Party


There were Dinosaurs galore helping us celebrate Blake's 1st birthday! They came stomping in and were ROARing as loud as they could to get the party started.  With family and our close friends joining in to be sure our baby knew how much he is loved! Since we couldn't get any dinosaur meat for dinner we settled for some Mojo's BBQ and delicious cupcakes from Cinotti's to fill us up.  The birthday boys cake was specially made by Daddy and a little help from Mommy.  He enjoyed digging into it and as a result he became a green monster.  Such a bitter sweet party to throw.  With 4 kids we have many more birthday parties to plan but this was the very last 1st birthday :-(.  A BIG thanks goes out to one of greatest friends, Nikki, for taking all my pictures.

The soccer season begins

After 2 weeks of being rained out the weather has finally cooperated! Dylan played his first game tonight and he played hard.  He actually was all over the field trying to get the ball and then did his best to protect the goal when the other team tried to score.  Watching him play tonight was a huge change from last year.  He even asked the coach several times if he could please stay in. I think he is really going to enjoy playing and I think it will help him get out his over abundance of energy.

Love this picture of Dylan and Lauren running after the ball
