Birthday Boy

Justin turned Six last Tuesday...and after all sorts of celebrating I am finally ready to blog about it. :) We'll start with Tuesday morning...Justin woke up to a breakfast of yummy whole wheat pancakes served on the special birthday plate...

(Sleepy, but excited)

Before heading off to school we let Justin open a couple of presents.

I included this picture mostly because it shows Eden wearing her favorite

accessory...Emily's underwear. (It's clean.)

No friend party this year, but we did do a pizza playdate

at the park with some of Justin's best friends...

Later that night we celebrated as a family at the Las Vegas Mini Gran Prix. Justin (being the awesome kid that he is) won an award in school where he received a full on party at this really fun Go Kart place in our area. It included pizza for the whole family, drinks, tons of tokens, and tickets to go on the cool rides and Go Karts there. It was seriously so much fun! Justin loved every second of it, we all did. It was a perfect way to celebrate Justin...

Merry-Go-Round...

Air Hockey!

Going down the Huge Slide...(so fun!)

Rides!

Eden really wanting to go on the rides....

(Poor thing, the only rides she could go on were the slide and the Go karts)

Our favorite part--the Go Karts. Emily was old enough to ride on her own and she was such a champ. Justin rode with me (which is why I unfortunately don't have a picture) and Eden rode with Dave. I can't even say how fun this was...we were all out there together as a family just zooming around. It was pretty great.

Justin riding the mini cars...he was way into it.

We celebrated one more time on Friday with all of our family here in Vegas.

Here's Justin with his Mario Mushroom cupcakes...

Who needs a friend party when we have so many awesome cousins!?

Our Birthday Boy!

We couldn't love this little guy (big guy now!) more. We are so lucky to have Justin in our family!

10 Years

10 Years ago today I married Dave...

There is so much I could say about him on this special day.

Like how much I love him, and how perfectly sweet he has

been to me every day for the last 10 years, and how much

fun we still have together, and how much I love that we

still lay awake every night talking and talking because there is

still always so much we have to say to eachother. How even though

it's been 10 years we still love to be together more than anything else.

And how cool it is that we finish eachother's sentences and always

seem to know what the other is thinking and feeling.

And how absolutely lucky I feel to be his wife.

But I don't want to make anyone nauseous.

So all I'm going to say is how happy I am that I married him.

So very, very Happy.
