230.365.2013 The Zoo

Today was nice and easy… Well, maybe. It was kind of like visiting a zoo. We went to church and had a good service. Then we all went to Donatos and had a yummy pizza lunch. The gluten-free veggie pizza is great!!

Afterwards, we went to my moms house for a family pic and the kids opened some birthday presents. (Yes, they all got something.)

And on the way back, Jack Hannah was on our flight!! He’s a zoo-legend. I mean, I remember him from when I was a kid and he even was in his safari gear and hat.

Now I’m waiting at baggage claim so I can go home and see this boy!

229.365.2013 Godzilla Birthday

Today we celebrated Sam’s fourth birthday (it’s tomorrow) and he wanted a Godzilla theme.

I had a ton of fun with the kids wrestling and snuggling and tickling and watching TV while Matt & Sara made the cake. And by made the cake, I mean had two visions. And by Matt & Sara, I mean Matt. It’s one of my favorite parts of coming to the birthday parties.

Either way, we had a great day and the cake was awesome. Sam’s face when he saw the big Godzilla on the cake was priceless!

Last day with the kiddos. We started out at church and then went to the in-laws for another birthday party. After some delicious tacos, I headed out to the outlet mall for one last glance. 🙂

Tonight, the kids came over for some dinner and play time. They were a lot of fun! Maggie showing me how to do a headstand.

Today was the big 5th Birthday party! We traveled up to the World of Bounce where Maggie and her closest 24 friends joined her. It was packed! But we all had a blast!

First, here’s her cake made by the Cake Boss.
