Some pictures from a birthday party in the neighborhood.
Here are some random pictures from a trip to Portland in January.
OK, this is embarrassing—more than three months late with these pictures. Sorry!
Noah’s birthday was great. Noah loved his rocket cake, and all of the kids had a great time playing in the rocket Amy made (from the box for a new filing cabinet we happened to have delivered a couple of weeks earlier).
Actually this was a few weeks before Christmas. Amy couldn’t resist getting the kids get dressed up in their Christmas pajamas to take some pictures.
The kids had so much fun being cowboys. Once I put Ollie’s hat on, he couldn’t stop laughing. He thought it was so much fun. Guess that will have to be his winter hat, cause he refuses to put anything else on his head. The best part was that Ollie even walks like a cowboy that has been on his horse too long.
Since a lot of you have been asking, we have Grandpa Bill to thank for the shirts. I made the chaps, which was a shock that I figured out how to make chaps. And I stuffed their hats with computer padding so they would fit just right. haha. (believe me…we have plenty of computer padding to go around….so I find all kinds of good uses for it) And we borrowed Noah’s cool canteen from his good friend, Rusty.
Ollie had a blast at his birthday party! His favorite parts were playing with balloons, eating Cocoa Puffs off of his cupcake, and hearing everyone sing happy birthday to him.
(By the way, there were lots of other kids there. We’re generally careful not to post pictures of other people’s children, out of respect for their privacy.)
