Another Birthday Party....



Today, it was the 3rd birthday party for Myles's buddy Jason - also in the neighborhood. Jason and his parents, Jeff and Christina, threw a legendary party. It was baseball / Brewers themed. Brewers cake, Brewers colors, Brewers gift bags with each child guest's name on them, ballpark food (hot dogs, brats, nachos with cheese and peppers, popcorn, etc.). Really great ideas and executed with incredible care. Like we said before, the pressure is really on for a good birthday party in this neighborhood - tough acts to follow.

Myles mans the door while his good pal Lucas rings the bell of the playhouse.

Myles follows the lead of the older boys and finally succeeds in climbing up the slide of the huge inflatable jumpy thingy in the yard.

Myles puts a hurtin' on a Brewers-themed cupcake... well, at least on the frosting portion of it...

What a great party! Thanks, Jason, Jeff and Christina!

Fun in the Sun

Myles and Mommy went to a zero depth pool this morning and Myles was absolutely thrilled! As you can see, he didn't hesitate to run right in! It was a beautiful morning and we had so much fun!
We were planning on hanging out with friends, but unfortunately, several friends were sick today so it ended up just being the two of us. We hope our friends will be able to join us next time. We did happen to run into Myles's babysitter and her kids, so Myles was pretty excited to see them.
The pool had a cool slide that Myles loved going down, but unfortunately Mommy didn't get any pictures of that as she was busy monitoring Myles's "waiting his turn" technique as well as his "move out of they way when you are done" skills. Maybe we can get some good shots of that next time.
Myles loved laying down in the water and by the end of our visit, he was dunking his whole face in the water. Each and every time he did it, he squealed with delight and was very proud of himself! Mommy was pretty impressed and enjoyed every second!
