Pump IT UP!!!

Let me just say that if you are 3 and 5 life doesn't get much better than a Pump It Up Party!

I had to work on myself a little that I wasn't going all out with a theme and decorations, but it was the right choice for them and for me.  They had the time of their lives and I had a great time with very little effort!  I am officially a fan!'
Last Saturday we had the brothers Spider-Man birthday bouncing blast!

We need to say a special thank you to all our cousins, including poor Preston who's picture I missed.  I was very selfish and scheduled the party for right in the middle of nap time.  The littles were troopers!!

I have very few pictures of the boys because they were WAY too busy having fun to be interrupted for a picture!

I finally caved this year and let Avery invite some friends from his class at school and class at church.  I think he was pretty happy about it!  He held court at the cake table!

Birthday brothers!  I love that the buddies share some much including their birthday month! I hope they always enjoy celebrating both together and separately.

Cheese!

 I wonder what Avery was telling him?

Sadie Jo even donned a manly Spider-Man shirt for the big day!

Hopefully you enjoyed the VERY random snapshots of the party!  I wish I was a better photographer so I could capture how much fun the buddies had!  I loved watching them interact with each other, their friends and family.  They are 2 very blessed little boys.  I am interested to see how the brother birthday celebrations progress over the years.  I pray the boys always find a way to connect and enjoy each other during this special month in their lives.

As always we are so thankful for our family.  Not many kids get to have 4 grandparents, 4 aunts & uncles, and 4 great-grandparents at their birthday parties.  It means so much to Michael and me and I know some day the boys will know what a big deal it is for everyone to go to such effort for them.

And I have to say we have some pretty great friends.  This year it has been really fun to broaden the boys' circle at church to include friends their age, not just our friends kids.  I am also enjoying having an excuse to get to know families I have wanted to know better, but been to wimpy to do anything about really meeting.  It has also been so much fun to get to know some of the families in Avery's class at school.  I am never brave enough to reach out and meet people at school, but his class is so friendly and has other mothers that have done it for me.  He has made some really sweet friends and we enjoyed spending time with them, too!

What can I say it was a great day!

And the boys were so tired they were super still at church Sunday morning.  :)
