Happy Birthday Jared and JJ!!

Jared's Birthday is August 23rd and JJ's Birthday is August 24th. We've done joint parties with Papa Rudy up until this year when we decided to let JJ have a friend party. Well, Daddy's party turned into JJ's party too! I think half of the gifts there were for JJ! We still had a little family party planned for him on his actual birthday so we still did that. JJ is going to have a week-long celebration!

Daddy wrestling with the boys...their favorite! JJ and Luke love to sit on Jared's stomach and bounce--they say, "wanna go boom on daddy!" We've learned that "going boom" is a Daddy-only-activity. Mommy doesn't do as well with that game!

Luke getting all the giggles tickled out...he is so funny.

Grandma Marta with baby Matthew...Adam and Lisa's little guy!

JJ's gift from Grandma Marta and Papa Rudy...money in his savings account and...

...a Fishing Game!!! JJ LOVES this game...and it's only fitting since his friend party is a fishing party!

Okay, on to Jared's gifts now! Rudy, Marta and I pitched in to get Jared a wheelbarrow. Recently Jared was laying sod and I looked outside to find him using my double jogging stroller with a big tarp draped over it to haul the sod...very creative, but I decided a wheelbarrow could be really useful!

The boys like it too!

Papa Rudy burping Matthew.

Okay, so this is JJ's party the next day. Luke took advantage of JJ's distraction with the school bus lunch box (from Aunt Gina) to have a try at JJ's new t-ball set.

JJ loves school buses and frequently asks when he will get to ride on the bus. We tell him that when he is six he can ride the bus to kindergarten. Recently he started telling me that he is six so he can ride the bus. What a little cutie.
