celebrating 7

we had fun celebrating the boy's birthday this year

 it was a non party year

instead we let the boys each choose a friend to hang with us for the day

cooper, alex, dylan, corbin & travis

they picked indoor go karting, Gatti Town for lunch and games, and a short trip to the park for some exploring

we also made a stop at the donut shop for breakfast

strapped in, geared up, and holding on TIGHT

he almost forgot to put down his shield

corbin was a little nervous

i think he kept having questions and was afraid he would forget which side was the gas/brake

he sat out

but next time i think he's gonna give it a SPIN

travis zuniga was a pro

he cruised around the track 

little dylan hung out with us big kids

his big brother alex was focused and pretty fast

cooper was cautious but had fun being the driver
12 lap around

 we had pizza buffet for lunch
and each boy got a $10 card to spend in the game room

the bumper cars at Gatti Town were FUN

good times
alex and cooper rode them 3-4 times

I'd say it was a pretty great day

boys had loads of fun
sharing a day being spoiled
with their friends

happy birthday big Coop Corb!

And then they were FIVE!

Five years old! What a fun time of life! these two are so excitable, smart and curious. constantly learning all they can, pretending and being silly guys. I will never forget the night they were born, and snuggled together in a little bassinet. it's been a thrill to be parents.
these boys have changed EVERYTHING about our lives.
May 9, 2006 6:05pm - 6:09pm healthy. perfect little miracles. blessings from Godthe day we finally brought them home and put them together in their crib. and then looked at each other like "Now what?".
bottles, sippy cups, blankies, diapers, potty training... so thankful for it all.of course we found our way, figured it out and didn't once break them in the process. the five years have gone way too fast. even though there were some very long days and nights along the way. our hearts are full, so full. it's been worth it all!

love these boys! happy 5th birthday to cooper peyton & corbin pierce!!
