We celebrated Tyler and Linkon's birthdays this past week and also Desi's graduation. Amy and I went to Des's graduation on Wednesday, which is also Linkon and Teresa's birthday. Unfortunately Amy's boys and my boys all had nasty colds so we left them with their dads and went to a birthday lunch for Teresa and then to the graduation. We skipped the big BBQ afterwards at Aunt Paula's house to go take care of our sickly kids and to spare everyone from our sicky germs. Teresa gave me a cupcake to take to Linkon for his birthday so we let him blow out candles on that the next morning for breakfast. Over the weekend, once the kids were feeling better, we celebrated Tyler's birthday by going to the BODIES exhibit in Idaho Falls. Then we went to Pocatello and Tyler's sister Emily made an amazing dinner for us. We got a hotel so the kids could swim and on Saturday Emily watched the boys for us so we could go to a movie and grab a bite to eat. Thank you so much, Emily for the wonderful dinner and watching our boys! We had a great time! We had dinner at our house on Sunday with some of my family to celebrate the birthdays. I made a Monsters Inc. cake for Linkon and Amy made Tyler's favorite waffle cookies. I went outside to holler at the guys to come in for cake and ice cream and when I got back inside Linkon had thrown up all over the kitchen floor. So, needless to say, that put an end to our party pretty darn quick. I cut a few pieces of cake to send home with family and they all headed home. I felt so bad for Linkon. He didn't even get to blow out his candles or anything. So here it is Tuesday and I've eaten 1/2 the cake all by myself - I didn't want it to go to waste so I didn't really have a choice. Oh, and a little interesting point... Last year at this same time, all three boys were sick. They got sick the day after Linkon's birthday and were sick till the day after Tyler's. So Linkon has yet to have a real birthday party where he doesn't end up sick. Sad, huh? Anyway, I think that about sums up the past week.
Linkon's present from Grandpa Barnes and Grandma T.
He really was excited about his Toy Story toys, he was just really irritated that I made him stop and pose for a picture.
The cake. Linkon LOVES Monsters Inc. I wasn't about to attempt a Sully cake so this was what he got!
I found Jaxon just hanging out on this shelf one day.
Amy, Desi & I at Desi's graduation. We are all so proud of you Des!
These are the kittens my cat had the day before Mother's Day. I haven't had kittens in so long! I thought it was a great present!
