Last Birthday Celebration

As if Jonah didn't get enough pomp and circumstance, the day of his birthday was spent with his his cousin, aunt and uncle and marna and papa. We roasted marshmallows and Thomas got his first taste of the goodness from heaven. He couldn't get enough.









Thomas was so content sitting on the grass and watching the boys run around and hang on the trampoline. He is a happy baby.
















We were trying to start the fire. Not sure why Jonah was sitting in a box, but these are the things you look back on and never know the answer. It has also become a tradition for the boys to take off their shirts when they are on the trampoline, even if the weather tells them otherwise.







As most of you know, giving kids the s'more sticks can be a scary thing as they become an extension of their own limbs. They turn around and now the radius is an extra three feet. It can become a little unsettling, but it's all part of the experience.









Lego wanted in on the action and hoped to get a rogue marshmallow from one of the children, but it never happened.











Thomas loves the dogs. He can't get enough of them.












Thomas did get a little bit of trampoline time and he loved it. I'm sure he slept well that night after a long day of firsts.











Josh launched Jonah on the trampoline and he loved it.












Jonah did get a three lane slip and slide for his birthday and the kids had a blast. Like I have said many times..if we could rent our children out to the toy companies for one summer, they would realize which toys would break within the first hour of use. Within 30 minutes of us setting it up, they blew out one of the lanes that throws the water up. It didn't stop them from playing for the next three hours, but they just trash things. We are missing their calling to become test subjects





After a rough day at the LeRoy's, he needed some hang out time with the bottle and his aunt Reba












I'm not sure who had more fun, Thomas or his daddy













Perfect way to end the day, shoving your mouth full of s'mores. What a weekend Jonah. Back to the grind for 5 more weeks of school. Happy Birthday buddy.

That is so great that you grew up going to Mt. Hermon. It is such a beautiful place and we have some great memories from there.
Looks like you have been busy with the birthdays! I thought the slip in slide looked super cool until you said it broke right away. Maybe you should try and sign the kids up for toy testers; it could pay for college and be so much fun!
Hope you are well!
