Happy Birthday Daddy!!

We celebrated Nader's birthday today by having a great dinner with the family at Grammy's house. (His birthday was actually Friday) Eli was very good at cake decorating!

Every time I'd tell Eli to say, "cheese," Peej would say it as well!

Adding the finishing touches!

Daddy couldn't tackle all that flame by himself, so Eli was pleased to help.

For those trying to count...there's 38 candles on there! (He's only 37, but he had to have 1 to grow on!) Gotta love having a husband who makes me feel so young! ;)

Daddy and Miles

Eli doing some damage on that cake, with only a candle as his utensil!

Matthew and Uncle Matt enjoying the frosting from a candle too!

Eli got VERY good at the whole eating with a candle idea, lol!

My boys! Miles reaching for the cake, Eli eating some, and Nader just happy to be with his little men!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Happy Birthday Nader! We love you so much and appreciate all that you do for our family! You are an amazing husband and father, and we are so blessed to have you in our lives!

Just along for the ride...

Miles and Peej enjoyed some hot wheeling with Uncle Matt today!! They loved being pushed around:

Peej calling for roadside assistance

Uncle Matt to the rescue!!

And fear not...Eli was having fun with dirt, as usual!

Too busy to even care his glasses are crooked!

For the last leg of our Easter adventure, we went to Uncle Hani and Aunt Shirley's house. After only seconds in the door, Uncle Hani decided it would be a fantastic idea to give the boys a dozen colored eggs...

Uncle Hani then proceeded to show them how to smash them together...

notice cousin Sean in the background laughing, lol!

What can I say, like father, like son!

Miles was NOT happy when there weren't any eggs left to break

Don't worry...he eventually got over it!

Eli's next stop, Aunt Haifa's lap! He knew he could get some cake out of her...

he also knew he could get some coffee out of her! He's one smart cookie! ;)

Uncle Hani and Avery

Miles and Hayden...they're clearly talking fashion here!

Miles and Mommy

and finally...Miles and Daddy, all tuckered out!

We had a wonderful Easter, and we're so happy we were able to share it with all of our family!

Happy Easter!! Round 2

After going through the boys' Easter baskets, we went to Grammy for a bit! Luckily, it was another beautiful day, and we got to spend some time outside! The boys aren't all dressed up yet, as we must always wear "play" clothes at Grammy's house. Eli can't help but dig in his dirt piles over there!!

Miles and Daddy

Miles took a break from outside to try out Grace's new toy!

Eli LOVED the rocket balloons that were in his basket...

Love his silly face in this one!

I can't tell you how many balloons he pumped up, and then chased...

Grace modeling her Easter dress

Miles was worn out by the long morning/afternoon! My overgrown boy was all passed out!

Happy Easter!! Round 1

Happy Easter!! The Easter Bunny came and was very good to Miles and Eli!! We captured more video than pictures, but here's a few shots!!

Eli's basket and loot...

And that generous bunny left some goodies for Miles too!!

Eli couldn't wait to open his new "kid tough" camera!

Miles wasn't fully awake at this point, lol!

Nothing like a mouth full of sour gummy savers early in the morning!!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Birthday and Congrats Aunt Lynn!!

Today we had a double celebration...my Aunt Lynn's birthday AND her retirement! We rented a room at a local rec center so all the kids could run around like crazy...and they did! I took over 100 pictures, so here are a bunch of them, lol!

Eli ready for the party to begin.
