We had a pretty low key birthday for them: no big party this year. They requested Mickey Mouse waffles for breakfast, Mississippi Pizza for lunch, and pulled pork sandwiches for dinner. That night they had a baseball game, so we brought baseball cupcakes to share with the team.
I know I write this every birthday, but we are so blessed and amazed by the amount of love and support from friends and family for Seth and Sam. Three different neighborhood families had birthday presents for the boys. Isn't that amazing!? Chris and Jackie bought them ladder golf and some bubble gum tape, Ed and Leslie gave them super soakers, and we were able to go bowling with the Declerque family where they brought the boys gifts of water balloons and Frisbee golf. I'm so thankful for the neighborhood the Lord put us in.
Family support for the boys is absolutely amazing as well. Although my parents couldn't make it up for the boys' birthday, they had Blazer jersey's in the mail for them to open on their special day. Uncle Tom and Aunt Julie are always so faithful in having gifts in the mail for the boys and they are amazing gift givers. This year they had wallets for the boys that have their names on them! Seth and Sam thought this was the best and have been very grown-up with their own special money holders. Jeff and Diane bought the boys new fishing poles and took them on a little river adventure to try them out. Aunt Katie and girls met us in Wilsonville for a splash park day and brought the boys a gift of a Spirograph. And we even had another little birthday event for the boys with their Morris cousins in Estacada: a swim party! Seth and Sam couldn't grow up with a better community around them!
Mickey Mouse waffles are more difficult than meets the eye. My bad. (Sam, Seth)
Ben took half the day off from worked and met us at Mississippi Pizza for lunch. We let Sam and Seth open their gifts from Papa and Titi, and Uncle Tom and Aunt Julie here.
We then took the boys to Sky High Jump for the afternoon. It was so fun!

It was fun to have a baseball game on their birthday,so that we could share cupcakes with the team.

They opened gifts from Ben and I at the end of the night.
We got them a really cool Lego chess set from a store in downtown Disney
And the game, Castle Panic, that they had really been wanting
Here's a few pictures from their Estacada pool party. Poor Josh capsized in his boat a little after his picture and would have nothing to do with the water after that!
Aunt Kasie and family got the boys these blow up floaties. They were a big hit with the kids as they tried to jump into the pool while holding onto them.
Seth, Sam
All the cousins minus my stubborn Joshua. Ten kids, with Seth and Sam being the oldest!

The birthday boys. Titus turned 4 on May 31st, the twins 7 on May 26, and Judah 6 on May 25.
Here's a couple from their fishing trip with Grandpa Deedo. Sam caught a bass
And Seth helped reel in a fish for Deedo:
That's it for the birthday festivities. I hope to have a seven year old update written soon!
