Look whose 5

Enjoying his Birthday Breakfast in bed. Porter wanted sausage and pancakes...He also wanted to eat it in Landen's bed. Smart kid! He didn't want syrup in his bed:) This year Porter got to have his first Birthday Party. We asked who he wanted to invite and he only wanted 4 friends to come. That made things sooo easy! Porter requested an Angry Birds Birthday so here are few pictures from his Birthday. 

I did a little Internet shopping and found these cute plush Angry Birds for super cheap. So each of his friends got their own Angry Bird and they also got a sheet of Angry Bird stickers and 2 pouches of Angry Bird fruit snacks. We also invited his 4 friends families to stay. So each of their siblings got a little gift also. 

So did you know that our Country has a helium shortage? I sure didn't. When I went to get balloons they had signs saying all they could do was Balloon bouquets with just air. Porter was really excited for this awesome centerpiece. It may look small, but we had our leaf in our table. IT WAS HUGE!

This was our awesome Angry Bird Pig pinata. We spent a few days and made it ourselves. The kiddos thought it was great to make and even better to destroy:)

 

Port's great cake. We ended up buying the Angry Birds Knock on Wood game to decorate the top of the game.

Blowing out his first candle of the day:)

Yes!! WE all get to eat Breakfast in bed.

PRESENTS!!

He was pretty excited to get more LEGOs.

I think he was even more excited to get a new pair of shoes. He really wanted a new pair of shoes...Isn't that pretty sad? I promise his other shoes weren't that bad:) He loved his new pair of Nikes.

Cecilia, Malachi (Port invited both of them)Edward, Landen, Brindee, Hattie, Benson (Port Invited) Merrick, Makayla, Paisley, and Porter. Ryder (Porter invited) is missing in the picture

On of the games we played was a life size angry birds game. They had so much fun playing it.

After we finished this game we had a phone call from Grandpa and Grandma Barker. We thought it would be fun to Skype with them. So they were able to watch from the window while we broke the pinata and then we came in and did presents and cake...unfortunately I forgot to multi-task and take pictures while I was sitting and moving the computer and talking with them. I did get some on the video camera.
All in all it was great Birthday and our Birthday BOY was so happy and excited!!

Big Chickens

The Monday before school got out we were invited to a Dinner Theater put on by Landen's 1st Grade class. We were to bring a picnic style dinner with us. Landen choose Jimmy John Sandwiches and nobody complained about that:0)

A group of about 5 students put on a little play. Landen's play was from the Book Big Chickens. He was Chicken number 4. He remembered all of his lines and did an awesome job. My cheeks hurt from smiling so big while he was performing.

Landen is the last one on the left if you couldn't tell

This is the whole class at the end of the performances. It was so much fun and they put a lot of work into the plays. They designed the backgrounds, props, and masks they wore. Landen passed first grade with flying colors and he is already looking forward to going to second. We are so proud of him and all the hard work he puts into school!

Easter 2012

Easter Eggs & Bunnies

We'd like you to meet Thunder he is one of our newest additions to our crazy house!

And this is Verde. I finally gave in and let the Easter Bunny bring these for the boys. In fact I may have given the Easter Bunny the idea and I may have gone to the store on Saturday night at 8:0o P.M. to make sure he brought the perfect ones! (Such cool mom credit that I will never get credit for:)

Both the boys were really excited for their new Anoles.

Paisley eating her M&M's with her new baby and baby carrier. 7:00 A.M. is a good time to start eating candy right!?!

Hattie got some new finger nail polish and lip gloss. She was pretty excited about both!

She even painted my nails before we went to Church.

Easter Eggs & Bunnies

The kiddos were so excited to do easter eggs. Since Land had Friday off we did them that afternoon. Paisley and Peyton were napping so the missed out on the fun.

After the Eggs were done it was time for an easter egg hunt. Land made bunny ears for everyone. They used tape to tape them to their heads:)

After they were done with their egg hunt Land and Port headed in to make teeth, noses, and whiskers to complete their bunny look.

Peyton at 3 months LOVES to suck her thumb and chew on her fist. I love that she has found her thumb. She is the best baby!!
