April Birthdays 2011


Jake and Cooper both have birthdays in April.  You will notice a lot of pictures of Jake and not so much of Cooper, Jake had a party with friends but Cooper is too little for that and we just had family over with Cooper.  This picture is of Jake's invitation.  He had a Basketball Hoops Pizza (all boys + Ella) birthday party.  We put the wording on this picture and mailed them.

The decorations

Bam Bams.  Each boy got a set.  You bang them together and they make a terrible noise - so I'm sure the parents loved having those go home with them :)  They also got a gatorade and stuffed basketball to take home.



Boys and Bam Bams = lots of noise

I wish this picture showed it better, Jake asked for ice cream sandwich cookies for his birthday dessert.  They were a hit!


We got this off Craigslist.  It was white, yellow, blue and pink.  Wes painted it and it turned out awesome! He's a rock star!

Cooper turned 2 a few days before Jake turned 4.  Here he's opening gifts from us and Jake

Cooper's big gift - Geo Trax Train Set.  Jake's was a three wheel Toy Story scooter

For birthdays, we do a scavenger hunt to find each gift.  This is Jake on his actual birthday opening his gifts.

Marilee was in town watching Clint's kids and so for lunch, she and Ella joined us at Red Robin for a birthday lunch for Jake and Cooper

Dessert

Cooper thought the spoon to be useless.  Great birthdays!
