Although I started this blog on Monday, I am finally getting around to posting it today (Saturday), as we had a major case of food poisoning go through our house this week. I'll spare you the details but it was an absolute nightmare!!
Anyhow, we had a birthday party for Zach last Saturday, actually it was more of a party for us to see friends, but he
doesn't realize that. We had a HUGE turn out along with out-of town friends Brad &
Bradi and my sister and her family.
Zach has been enjoying the company of playing with pirates lately so we had a pirate themed party. I think the party was a big success despite the unorganized chaos. Here's a few pictures I captured from it.
Picture of my sis, who thankfully came down from Michigan for the weekend to celebrate with us. She completely took over the
kitchen/clean up which I very much appreciated! Thanks
Sian!
Per Zach's request, I agreed & thought that it was a good idea to have a Pinata as an activity for all the kids. Well, I learned a thing or two about what NOT to do with a having a Pinata slugged around in your family room. Feel free to email me for suggestions if anyone else is brave (or dumb, depending on my perspective)enough to try this activity at home.
The beauty of a cake I baked... yeah right, thanks Jewel!

Zach opening presents with some help from friends, Max & Raegan. I owe all of you thank you's but what came from who got all mixed up, so please excuse the unpersonalized thank you's when they arrive :-)
Zach & Cam were having a ball tonight dancing together to 'Dancing with the Stars', as the show is a big hit & family affair in our house. I had the camera out so I had to post one of the happier moments together, as fighting with each other seems to also be a big hit in our house.
together!
