Collin's Birthday Party

It seems kind of odd because Collin's Birthday was last month, but lets just say its been a bit crazy! Were weren't where we'd be living, whether or not the boys would be on summer break with Michelle, or if Andy would be out of town~ the funny thing is that God knew all along. So nice to think about that. That regardless what's going on around us and circumstantially to us, God is in control and omnipotent!

Anyways, we had a little family gathering to celebrate Collin turning 8. I for one am most excited to have almost ALL the boys out of car seats/booster seats. Woo-Hoo! Remy from next door, the newest member of our family, came over and so did the little boy across the street. We really didn't invite any kids this time. Its so much more expensive that way and with 4, it can be a whopper! Plus its hard to figure out who to invite, the whole class or just close friends? Can't afford the whole class but it seems rude the other way too. We have chosen to stick with family for now. We still take treats in to school so they can celebrate with friends. Eventually they will have a handful of really close friends and it will be easier to invite that way.

Seems I once again got off topic lol! I am a little sleepy seeing as it is almost midnight. I have became quite the night owl since summer, loving the boys sleeping in! Well we had cake, ice cream, and fun with family. Got some neat gifts and played with cousins outside.

Collin requested to have 3 golden retrievers and a husky on a skateboard.
Grandma Colleen makes cakes for the boys every year. I'd say she did a fabulous
job with this odd request.

Eating the BEST cake ever! You haven't tasted cake until you've had Colleen's cake!

No, Alex isn't wearing face paint, he had a run in with some concrete over the weekend, I'd say the rocks one this battle, poor Alex!
