His Birthday

April 13th was Jim's 27th birthday! Since I'm a year older than him, the rule is that he's never allowed to complain about his age--although I did hear a few grumps about how old he's getting! I just can't believe what a baby he is. Seriously, he's made really good use of those 27 years!!! We started the day with donuts from a local bakery he's wanted to try.

Evie and I had spent the night at the ER, so we were all moving pretty slow in the morning (Everett slept until 9). While he was asleep, Talmage and I went back and forth listing all the things we love about Daddy. It was adorable and so fun! (My favorite answers from T were that he loves that Daddy makes him breakfast in the morning and that he loves how Daddy loves his eyebrows!)

We were lucky to have Papa and GG still visiting for Jim's birthday. Everett loved to sit on GG's lap and read stories, and I thought it was hilarious that Evie's head is double the size of his Grandma's! Our sweet little bobble-head ;)

That morning Talmage was able to attend a soccer camp taught by the Stanford Women's soccer team. It was so fun to watch T and his friends run around and play.

 

Talmage and Franklin were wearing matching shirts from another soccer camp they attended. I caught this picture of the two of them playing freeze tag--couldn't be cuter!  

 

This is T's super serious face as he tackles the obstacle course!

After lunch and presents Papa and GG headed back to Sac, the boys napped, Jim did some homework (not even a break for his birthday!) and I headed to Costco to get the cake he's been coveting for years...literally!

 

That evening we had a little BBQ potluck with some of our courtyard friends. Of course the kids thought eating on a blanket in the courtyard was just about the coolest thing ever. We really need to do this potluck thing more often!

Andrew's birthday is a few days after Jim's so we decided to sing to both of them. Luckily they didn't have to do a join candle blow out, the wind took care of it!

 Most of the party-peeps! A few friend's left earlier so aren't in the pics...we wish they were!

 As if the day wasn't full and fun enough, we got the boys in jammies and caught the BYU vs. Stanford volleyball game. BYU won, and we were pleased (albeit conflicted). Happy birthday James! We love you!
