Birthday Party Pics

Thanks to Joel and Kelly for taking these pictures for us!

Saturday was Levi's birthday party held at Shawnee Mission Park. Lots of family and friends came out to help us celebrate.
Can someone explain to me the love affair between boys and dirt?


This was a good place for him to get some of his extraordinary energy out.


"I want to dig in the sand, too, Mama."
What a doll.

I know I'm biased, but isn't my brother handsome?



The weather was pretty nice for November but a bit too windy for the babes.



Levi has been quite interested in soccer lately.

Getting ready to eat dinner:



It was very difficult to light he candles because of the wind. The crowd had to sing another round of 'Happy Birthday' as we struggled to keep them lit long enough for Levi to blow them out.



A satisfied customer. Ben had been looking forward to the cake all night.


Soccer cake is good!

Gwen with a couple of her kiddos along with Tim who just came back from a trip to India.

Just in case our guests did not get enough refined sugar from the cake and the taffy apples, we brought marshmallows to roast as well.


Look at his cute little face here!

Maybe he's telling them about the marshmallows?

Levi eating a taffy apple, or as he refers to them: "Happy Apples". I love that.

He got lots of generous gifts.

To wrap up the night: a truck-load of sugared up kids!

the love affair of boys and dirt is part of the creation of man. Remember the first command when God put man in the garden was to "work and take care of it". This has been part of the nature of boys since their inception. It's 'in the genes,' and often on the jeans also.
