five!

ava and bryce turned 5 on wednesday!  i can't believe they are already 5 and will be heading off to kindergarten in august!  time really does fly as 'they' say.  they had a family "rainbow" party saturday night at their house and it was alot of fun.  instead of having a big birthday party the girls chose to go to sea world for their 5th birthday so they'll go to orlando this coming weekend.  and they don't know it, but they'll also get to go to disney while they're down there;)  i can't wait to see pics from their trip!

a bunch of party pics!......

this picture is really funny because jonathan is taking a pic of his boston butt.  he is a huge "big green egg dork" and he and his friends who are equally as dorky about their big green egg share their masterpieces with one another.  all that being said, it was by far the best butt i've ever tasted!  i'm impressed with his egg skills!  i could've eaten the whole platter.

cupcake for brycie.  rice krispie treat for ava.

Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true." 

happy birthday to the sweetest girls and the best big cousins!

seriously, this post would normally have taken me about 20 minutes to do, but because of the new blogger layout/format it just took me an hour.  i'm so irritated.  i may have to quit blogging because not only do i not want to take up so much time with my posts, but i also kind of want to throw my computer through the window & that wouldn't be a good idea. the past few posts have been done on the new format and every one has really been annoying and difficult.  i have more pictures to post from our weekend - sarah kate helped papa in his garden and planted some cucumber with him so i wanted to add that, but i'll just do another post later this week when i have regained some patience.
