Happy Birthday Matthew & Michael!!

Well, the boys had their party, and it was a great time. Weather cooperated, most of the invited guests attended, and cake was enjoyed by all. Especially the birthday boys! LOL The boys had cake all over, and I'm sure very little was eaten. But they did good.

We spent the morning cleaning up last minute things. I took the boys with me, on a trip to the landfill, and the twins had a short nap, maybe 30-40mins. Woke up when we got back home, about 10:30. Perfect. They went down for their afternoon nap at around 12:30. Musta been tired, because we had to wake them just before 3pm.....party time.

We spent the entire party time outside in our backyard, there wasn't much breeze or direct sun, the clouds were just perfect. A few bugs, but hey, we're outside!! Our good friends from Regina brought their air-filled trampoline jumper (on sale this week at Walmart....lol). It fits about 4-5 small children and runs on an air-pump. Keep it plugged in and it'll keep kids entertained for hours.

We enjoyed snacks and watched the children play and run around. The swing was kept busy, too....switching between the toddler swings (for the twins and one other wee lil guest) and the bigger kids swings.

Cake was a hit....I had decorated 2 round cakes, in the shape of candy m&ms. One blue, one red. Matthew enjoyed his red cake, Michael enjoyed his blue cake. (btw, blue icing makes for blue-filled diapers the next day!) Here are a couple pics of the kids and their cakes.

The kids got lots of great things, toys, clothes and of course, money. I spent all their birthday money on summer jammies and tshirts and shorts. They don't have much for summer clothes that fit, so I bought lots. ;)

Sunday was spent relaxing and getting back on schedule. David spent a bit of time in the field, spraying weeds and otherwise getting ready to start seeding.

We had the boys in for their 12month checkup at the doctor's. Naturally, all 3 boys have a cold and Michael has an ear infection. Matthew is 18lbs 8oz and Michael is 25lbs 3oz. The doctor says they're both doing great, even with the weight difference. Matthew is just above the bottom curve on the growth charts, unadjusted. If the doctor adjusts his age, for the 4wks premature delivery, he's right in the 50th percentile. Doctor says no real need to continue adjusting, since he's doing well and steadily going up on the curve. Michael, well, let's say he's beyond the curve. :)

They get their 12month vaccinations next week.

Supper time.....night all!
