because there werent enough weekends in may.....

after our trip to Orlando....then home for mothers day...then to kenner for jas' surprise....there was one weekend left in may---leah's birthday! we tried to make it a surprise---but that didn't work long---but she was happy to have us none the less.... joe had to work on Saturday morning----we went to the Museum of Natural Science----dinosaurs and butterflies!  then we went home and made cupcakes for mommy and decorated the house---all pink decorations 'because mommy is a girl'.  leah and joe went out to dinner and a movie while we stayed with the boys---took them to a dollar store and let them pick out a present for her---porter chose a coinpurse---Jonas chose an orange scrubber with a long arm---and cannon chose toy helicopters----- wise boy, grasshopper!   church on sunday and enjoying time with them made for a lovely weekend.

                                                       pink everywhere!

                                                     leah wore her princess crown!

                                                       what a fun crew

                                                           everybody wore birthday hats

                                                        .....and upside down

 porter got the leash for our trip to the museum-----not too happy about it

 

                                                     the dinosaur fossils and skeletons were big hits

                                                     grandpa with the boys outside the museum

                                                    we frosted the cupcakes----key lime green and pink lemonade

                                                        such a sugar rush!

 everyone got lit candles on their cupcake---um----cupcakes

 and everyone got to blow out their candles

 happy birthday sweet leah!

 I did say that everyone wore a birthday hat

 be glad you cant really see----but its a whole cupcake in jonas' mouth

 its fun to watch the kids realize their parents are people---have birthdays etc

 had to squeeze this in----leah & joe's ward the next day----they have a hand bell choir! played the prelude music and accompanied the congregation for all the songs except the sacrament---so cool.

 its a little dark---but this is porter with cannon's green lantern mask and cape on

 leah's friend brought over some beautiful cupcakes----porter went straight for the luscious frosting

                                                         he couldn't get enough

 the only reason i'm not licking the chocolate off his face is that he had a bit of a runny nose ---and I wasn't willing to take that chance

cannon thinkin he is pretty messy
