Happy Birthday....yeah right! So this picture was taken moments before we left for the boys birthday party. Spencer was tired and royally ticked off at me for trying to do his hair. I stood him up to the sink in the bathroom and he jerked away from me and bumped his chin on the counter drawing some blood. We were all a little hyped up for this one so we just had to get out the door and then everyone was fine and happy.
Ahh, that's better. That's the Spencer we know and love. The cute less angry one.
The kids climbing up to go down the big slides. Being pregnant and all I exceeded the weight limit by a few pounds thanks to the 25 pounds I've gained so far. So I couldn't join in on all the fun....ahh man! Not that I would go on them, but I would like to have had the option.
Luke, Melissa, and Beau.......wait for it.....
It's looks like we have a winner. Luke was a little hesitant at first, but I think he warmed up pretty quick.
We were so glad to have Marley there, she is 4 months older than Spencer. Spencer was a little nervous to do the climbing and sliding, but once she got there he followed her everywhere and he was going down huge slides. It was so great. She was the fearless leader.
Allison, Madison, Morgan, and I think that's Spencer in the background. I had a hard time taking pictures of the kids because they were moving around so fast I would snap a picture and it would be a blur.
Lexi's first birthday party. She is pulling that face because she was a little bummed that she didn't get to join in the bouncy fun.
Happy Birthday boys!
Parker and Oakley waiting for cake.
This picture is crooked, but I love the red frosting lips. He wanted a huge piece of cake with the red balloon frosting and that's all he ate. He wouldn't even eat the pizza we had he was holding out for frosting. He's got some Blackwell in him for sure!
Our host came up to me while we were eating and asked if she should bring the Kangaroo in. She was worried that some of the kids would be scared of him, but I told her it would be fine and I knew Spencer would be that kid that was scared.
This is him clinging to my leg. All the other kids ran up and gave the kangaroo a hug, but Spencer is a little more leary of such characters.
Gathered around for the present opening. It was a very fun time and I'm glad we were able to do it for them. We had a host that helped us throughout the day and she took the presents to our room and got us water and cups, and a knife to cut our cake and she was very helpful the whole time. We were leaving our room and we loaded our cart up with the gifts and leftover cake and she put it in the office until we were ready to go. So Cory and my dad head into the office like 5 minutes later to get our stuff and our host is eating a piece of our cake! Her face turned bright red and she had a mouthful, they were laughing so hard, but we didn't care she helped us out a lot and it's not like we would notice some missing cake. 
Ummm, I spy with my little eye a black thong with pink polka dots.
Now I just came here to eat lunch with my kids and let them play and have a good time, but what I didn't know is that I would witness a wardrobe malfunction. Now there were many a kid that ran by and one would think feeling a slight breeze in an unexpected area would trigger you to pull down your shirt, but it didn't happen. I am in now way passing judgement on the types of undergarments that people choose to wear. Wear what you please, go commando if you want! I just really don't want to see them!
I betting that every person that reads this has had an experience similar to this where you go out in public and get a little more that you bargained for and catch a glimpse of something Victoria really meant to be kept Secret.
Melissa and cute little Lexi. This was Lexi's first time to the zoo so it was kind of a big deal. I think she had fun.....and by fun I mean she really loved being outside!
We got to go to the zoo. We went on the last free day of the season so it was a little busy, but not too bad. Emilee came up with the boys so we had to keep them busy and do fun stuff while she was here.
This was the first thing they ran in and saw. I think it was a bunch of turkeys.
I think Spencer was secretly hoping they would have a big cage with a dinosaur in it.
This little monkey checking out this little monkey:
The elephants...a must see! We had fun, but my boys were so ornery. Spencer just wanted to see a rhino and all Parker cared about were spider and snakes.
"Um, what are we looking at?"
Checking out the zebra's or "Marty" if you will. Luke joined in on the action and got up close to see them. I was very happy on this day because Spencer wore real shoes not his little crocks he likes to wear, but actual shoes it was great.
We tried to get them all to sit on the rock wall and get a picture. Luke was ready and posing, but Beau wasn't feelin' it.
This is proof that I was actually there that day. I'm not in a lot of pictures because I'm the one taking them. It was such a nice day there. It was cloudy and not very cold so we were glad, it actually started raining right as we were leaving so we timed it perfect.
What's more fun that riding a big, metal rhino?
They couldn't wait for the train to come. We were told to stand on a certain spot, but the boys were practically falling onto the tracks.
Finally made it on the train, and not a moment too soon.
Introducing....my chins! Parker is such a little goofball he always makes weird faces in every picture.
We had a very fun afternoon. Mel and Lexi hung out by our strollers while we rode the train which rivals the excitement of riding Frontrunner by the way.
We finally got to go to the park today. The first time this year. It was warm enough, but a little windy. The boys didn't mind they ran around bare foot and happy. We had a little picnic and the boys had a blast. I didn't bring my camera, but I had my phone to capture my cute Spencer with cheeto dust around his mouth. Love the warm weather. Almost all of our snow has melted and I'm sure glad that little sister will be born in the summer so we can enjoy many days outside!
