The BOYS and Girl
THE MONKEYS: Lelia, Spencer, Kaden, Tyson, Parker (and Josh, not shown here)
A boy is a piece of skin stretched over an appetite, a noise covered with smudges, the problem of our times, the hope of the world. Every boy born is evidence that God is not yet discouraged with men.

Parker's 7th Birthday

Parker really enjoyed his birthday this year.  He was thrilled to have an actual party with a theme!  We did our best to make it a special day for him (after having Kaden's birthday and Easter in the same week). 

Birthday morning....The Birthday Chicken made it!  He brought cereal and decorations, as usual.  Grandma sent a card with a foam airplane--that went over REALLY well too!

A new tradition we started this year was to have lunch with the birthday boy at school.  I brought a Pizza and his brothers to eat in the school cafeteria.  It made classmates a bit jealous, but Parker loved the attention and the pizza.

Then I run back home and work on the birthday dinner (after a quick nap).  It's only one day a year, so I pushed myself to make it special for him...I think it worked!



Birthday dinner: chicken balls


This was after he opened his gifts.  It's fun how excited all of them get, and obviously stay, as they look at all the new stuff.

 OUTER SPACE BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!
Parker invited a couple friends, and with his brothers, the house was a busy lot of fun!


The boys making their rockets and alien space ships.


Josh saved the day by making a moon cake. (I have given up cake-making. It makes me frustrated!)



They made Flying Saucers (mini pizzas) for lunch!

Parker on the moon.  (Josh embellished the moon with a flag & a foam spaceship.)

Happy Birthday boy and friends!

SEVEN candles!!!

Gift-opening fun and excitement.
