Six Years Old!!

July 15 was Z's 6th birthday.  Oh my!  We had a great day.  He went to a local vacation Bible school in the morning and had a great time, and then we celebrated at home.  We told Z he could either have a small family birthday party and a party with some friends, or just a big family party.  He chose the big family party, which I have to admit, I was pretty happy about.

He wanted ribs for lunch, so we ordered out from Famous Dave's.  Then began the present opening, the cake eating, and the pinata busting.  What a happy day celebrating such a happy event!

The birthday boy!

Eden and Henry enjoying lunch.

Z got a Star Wars cereal bowl from Amah.


Eden getting sunscreen.  She has obviously partaken of the cake already!

Eden and Mama.

Eden with one of the birthday punching balloons.


Henry helping Z with his new bike.  It turned out to be too big, and not accommodating to training wheels, so we're saving it for later and bought him a smaller one on Craigslist.  I overheard him showing both bikes to Eden, saying, "This one is for right now, for learning to ride a bike.  This one is for later, when I'm bigger, like in college."

Z's Red Power Ranger cake.  It included an action figure, which has already been removed.

Strike a Pose!

I didn't orchestrate this picture at all.  I told Eden to stand in front of the couch so I could take her picture.  The rest was up to her.

From the Past

Z's 6th birthday is tomorrow!  I was feeling nostalgic and looking through old blog posts and came across this video, from September, 2008.  Z was about 14 months old.

Fun with Nature

Z found this leaf.  Eden and I liked it.

Photo Shoot

Z and Eden had their pictures taken at Penny's a couple of weeks ago.  The last time we had a formal photo shoot, in May 2011, they looked like this:


And here they are now, June 2013:


More photos to come soon!

Z Dances

A few weeks ago Z was dancing and shouted out to me, "Mama, check out my movès!" (He's a natural Shakespearean.)  And boy, has he got the movès!  I asked him to teach me some and he said, "Just let the music be your teacher."

I can't do it.  Clearly Eden can't keep up either.
