The Game of Split-Second Charades!

Can you guess what these people were acting out??

I just love that game!

Ben’s Birthday – Part Three

I know, a three part post for one birthday, but Ben’s just that special and totally worth it. For the last celebration of Ben’s 25th birthday, we went over to my parents house for a family day. It was SO much fun. We spent a good deal of the time outside in their ginormous backyard. The weather was great, we enjoyed a yummy dinner, and everyone was just having a fantastic time.

Wow, he looks good!

I *LOVE* this picture of my handsome boys.

Playing Blongo Ball.

 
Mary – my parent’s dog.

My brother Josh – I’m not sure how I managed to get him in focus and the non-moving part of the picture blurry, but I think it looks cool.

Showing off for the ladies – you know, Lily and my mom and me.

 

 
“What? I like hanging out upside down.”

My baby sister – I can’t believe she started Middle school this year.

Lovely face from Lily, no?

“I’m not so sure about this guy…”

Silly faces!

Look at that sweet baby face.

Ben’s favorite fresh peach pie – homemade by my mom.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN!!

I didn’t entirely forget

About posting a picture of Michael’s rag quilt. I just didn’t get to it for a really long time. Forever ago I talked about how I was making a rag quilt for Michael, posted pictures of the fabric, and even told you when I finished it. But I never got around to posting a picture of the finished product. So here it is!

 

Not the happiest little boy in this picture, but it shows the raggediness and the different colors well, I think. I had a good time finishing this blanket up, and I really love how it turned out. I love that both my kids have rag quilts now!

Ben’s Birthday - Part 2

Part 2 of Ben’s birthday was a day at the park with lots of friends and pizza. We were a little worried about rain, but the weather ended up being perfect and it was a great couple of hours at Marymoore Park. It’s fun that Ben has a summer birthday so we can have yet another excuse to play outside.

Ben’s favorite cake – german chocolate with homemade coconut pecan frosting.

Big breath!

 
If Ben hadn’t been able to blow out all the candles at once, the wind would have done it for him that day.

Mmmm, chocolate.

 
Playing frisbee golf.

Cute Cousin Rachel.

Another typical picture of Michael - sleeping through the party.

Cute Piper.

The happy birthday boy.

Thanks friends for celebrating with us. We hope you had as good as time as we did!
