BIRTHDAY BOY TURNS 4!

Mason really wanted the Lego Batman WII game and was very happy when he got it

Showing off his new sheriff gear

He couldn't stop laughing when it was time to blow out the candles

The Lego Batman cake was a big hit

I was sure glad he liked his cake, it was a nice payoff after the stress of creating it

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MASON! WE LOVE YOU!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VICTOR!

I made Death by Chocolate cake to celebrate Victor's 39th year

I think we can all guess who enjoyed their cake the most.

For safety reasons there are only 5 candles on the cake We got daddy a shop stool at Lowe's for his B-day. Ella had to let the lady that helped us know that her dad was 39 which is old but that next year he will be 40 and that is really old. She looked to be in her mid-forties. Way to go Ella!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! WE LOVE YOU!

BASEBALL SEASON

Cooper and Ella had a great time this season. We are very proud of our athletes and I'm looking forward to some down time this summer.

Look at that focus!

Mason enjoying the game or atleast enjoying having his picture taken at the game

How cute is she?

What a swing!

Cooper's team was undeafeted this year!

Backtracking on his way to Home Plate

He made it home!
Look at him slide!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COOPER!!!

Cooper is 10 years old! Victor took him and two of his buddies miniature golfing Saturday morning while I finished his cake. Of course he told them they were going to work at a nursery digging dirt. They were very relieved when that turned out to be a joke. Cooper had no idea what kind of cake I was planning to make. When he walked in the door the first thing he saw were the polly pocket dolls, he was a little worried.

When he realized the dolls were being attacked by sharks he decided it was a pretty cool cake.

"SHARK ATTACK"
His only suggestion was that I should have dismembered the dolls and spread out their body parts.

Admiring the masterpiece

If the sharks don't get them the fire might

Outside Shaw's Hardware for the whole world to see.
Happy 10th Birthday Cooper! We love you!!!

THE CUB MOBILE

Cooper and Victor built this cub mobile to pass off one of Cooper's Bear requirements.

We used our neighbors driveway and let the kids have a go.

Mason gets a little help from his dad

Cooper had a couple of runs before he got the hang of it

Ella learned what not to do from Cooper before taking her solo ride

Jack was a little too young to ride but he enjoyed the exhibition

OUR PRIMA BALLERINA

Ella had her first ballet recital in May. She is, of course, a beautiful and graceful dancer. We expected nothing less with her gene pool.

Ella and Kamber enjoying their triumph

Ella's favorite pose

Ella performed two dances, one for tap and one for ballet.

One of her favorite moves

We are very proud of Ella, she did a great job and basked in the well deserved praise
