Andrew Turns 7

Birthday #2 for January is in the books!  (And boy, I'm one tired momma!)  However, Andrew had a great day celebrating with some school friends, playing hard, eating cake, competeing in a Mario Kart Wii & Beyblades tourney and more. . .   We live on such a great street that they could play outside and shoot Nerf guns, ride rollerbaldes/scooters/bikes, and throw paper airplanes/footballs.  It was wonderful to watch them burn off all the energy.  When the sun started to go down, we headed inside to have some Mario time on the "big screen"/projector and try a beyblades tournament.  After a quick bit of pizza, parents arrived to haul off their children.  And I collapsed on the couch:-)
Andrew's friend, David, took him to a Monster truck rally last weekend while Anika was celebrating her birthday.  So Andrew HAD to have a Monster truck cake -- this is supposed to be Captain USA, his favorite.

Can my little boy really be 7!!!!


Ready for a party.


Andrew's good friend, Jack, is movingi n the house behind us so he gave Andrew walkie talkies so they can plot exciting adventures from their bedrooms!

Funny crew!

The gang.

Happy Birthday Boy!

Happy 9th Birthday, Anika Jean!

A special tradition: Daddy takes each of the kiddos out-to-eat for their birthday.  The one-on-one time is priceless!

Daddy and the Birthday Girl!
