Birthday Weekend

Here are some party pics...

 Peter asked for a "military party", so the "cake/battlefield" is brownies topped with chocolate pudding and crushed oreos.

 Nothing to do with the party, but look, Mom- I haven't killed your plants yet- they actually seem happy! They loved their time under Christian's lights for the seedlings.

 Peter was such a trooper- his youngest 3 siblings wrapped up some old toys to give to him- he accepted them very graciously, when he could've responded, "I don't want your old, naked baby doll!"

He got a very cool book on military planes from Trevor- something they already talk about on a regular basis.

The twinsies are officially not toddlers anymore- can't believe we're starting school with them this summer! (Pre-K)

 Captain Auntie Grace and troops

 I just don't have enough pictures of Auntie Yaya on here.

 I'm blowing fire out of my mouth, can't you see? We found Tapatio flavored doritos (P's favorite salsa)! Pretty awesome.

 Peter and his buddy, Noah

The youngest of the cousins, for the moment (still waiting for Felicity!)

On Saturday we made a trip to Phx to visit Faith/Gary and pick up a kitten...which somehow ended up being two kittens. :)

Meet Moses and Courageous! (Moses is the grey/white one, named after a kitten in a James Herriott story; Courageous is the orange/white one so-named because he was the boldest one in the bunch)

 Feeling the love...

The kitties have since moved out to the "barn" where they are quite happy to play and sleep and eat and one day catch lots of mice (fingers crossed)!
