Lucy turns 3!!!

Thank you, Lucy for turning 3 and having parents who put on such an awesome party!!!!

We got to meet up with some cruise friends and their kids...the dynamics are definitely different when you have all the kiddo's around.

Max wouldn't go on the bounce house at the last fair we were at, but when it was filled with cousins and familiar friends, he jumped his heart out.

...and played in their play structure...

...ate custard and cake...Max and I practiced, "Happy Birthday" the week preceding her party. I explained that Lucy was turning 3...Max was a little disappointed to still be just 2...so, we added the "... and a half." So, if you happen to ask him his age, he will now proudly state, "too and a haf."

...hung out with friends...

Corbin and Brandon enjoying the festivities...

...jumped on a trampoline with balloons galore...

played with this for like ten minutes...

...got our faces painted...well, Eric and I did...Max wussed out at the last minute and would only get 'a snake in his boot.'

Seriously, this picture says it all...Max loves Lucy and was so happy to enjoy the party she put on!!!! Happy Birthday, Lucy!!!!

Parker's Party!!!

We got all of our family in California together for a party for Parker.

My dad and his two grandsons.

My parents, paternal Grandmother, Kristina's parents, me, Peter, Parker, Max & Kristina.

We went on a walk through the California Redwoods.

Max relaxing on a bench he found.

A trip to Tilden park. I used to love this park as a child.

Max at the airport with his Toy Story suitcase...asleep, literally 2 minutes before we landed, and the flight attendant who kindly carried him to the gate until he noticed that it wasn't me and abruptly stated, "you're not my mommy, you're a LADY!!!!" It was a great trip home and back!
