We had a great birthday celebration on Saturday for Justin's 33rd & Luke's 2nd birthdays. We celebrated with family and some friends, had great weather, good food & wine, and lots of laughs! I love how everyone makes do; our house is not huge, but I didn't want that to stop me from inviting anyone. Thankfully we were able to be outdoors some, so that helped. They do say "love grows best in little houses".

A case of paintballs!

Birthday boy was a snotty-chocolaty mess!

Aunt MaeMae & Lily

After the party... can you tell Isaiah was exhausted?! It's funny, whenever I sit on this chair, all the boys come and pile on. I actually have another picture just like it from the other saturday morning!

I found this adorable bathing suit at Target the other day. I couldn't leave the store without it. I just HAD to get it... it was the right thing to do... ;) At least one of us will look cute in a bathing suit this summer ;)

bathtub toys!!!

My Mom got the kids a whole bunch of GREAT bathtub toys! I can't get them out now! The first photo shows the pellets that fizz and change the water color (no that's not Lukey peeing ;)

Luke saying look at the water!

sweet Ange

Angel is such a good girl. She doesn't get half the attention she should. You couldn't ask for a better dog. Unfortunately, ever since I started having children, she's taken the back burner. Her age has really started to show, making me stop and appreciate the sweet girl she is. Her face is mostly grey & white now, but she's still a beauty.

My little bookworm

I took the little ones to Isaiah's school last week to eat lunch and go to the book fair. Isaiah picked out "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" as one of his choices. We have seen the movie and loved it, so I think it's the perfect series for him. He kept it at school with him so he could read it on the bus. By the end of the first night, he had read almost 50 pages! He has to stop periodically to ask me about some words, but I've been very proud listening to him trying to sound out words on his own. Isaiah definitely has his Daddy's brain; he LOVES problem solving. I love this boy. Sometimes I look at him and wonder how on earth he got this big...

Insane night at the Forbis house. Off to bed. Will post birthday party pics tomorrow!
