Colin's First Birthday - Cannon's Third Birthday Dino-mite Cookout and Party!

On Saturday, May 5th, we had a combined cookout/party for Cannon and Colin's birthdays. We invited all our friends from church and my parents.

All week the weather forecast was 70 degrees and sunny. Well, when I woke up on Saturday and saw the sky I checked the weather and wouldn't you know it, 40% chance of showers in the late afternoon. Well, at 4pm, right as people were arriving for the party, the sprinkles started. By the time we ate, it was coming down pretty good. We crammed in the house, on the deck under the awning, anywhere we could fit. Thankfully, shortly after we finished eating, the skies cleared and the kids were able to play outside.

The boys received a lot of really nice toys and gifts from friends, which was an especially nice treat, considering we told people not to bring gifts, but to bring food! ha ha ha...

We sang happy birthday and enjoyed watching Colin (and Cannon really) make a complete mess of themselves and their cake! Click here to see a clip from the party!

DINOSAURS!

We made a trip to Dinosaur Land on Friday, May 4th as a little family field trip / birthday treat for Cannon. He was so amazed. I think all of us had a really great time!
