Elliot’s 8th birthday! 

 I can’t believe our boy is 8! Here, he’s wearing his “party shirt.”  
   
 
The party was a Lego class w instructor! Look at how well they all pay attention! 

   
This is not enough snack. Whoops! 

 This cake. I was disappointed in the icing. I followed the directions and it came out with specks of butter. But it was a hit w the kids because of the Ender Dragon on top! 
  
  They built motorized minecraft creepers.   
    
It was not without drama. 

 
Party boys! 

   
    
    
    
    
    
  Snacks and cake on the patio.   
    
    
    
  They played minecraft after the party.   
   

Marsh-pillows 

Here’s my offering for the Cub Scout cake auction. It’s a campfire! Pinterest WIN!    
Stuart likes to take long walks and check out the drains. Pushing his stroller makes the adventure more fun! 

    
Stuart calls marshmallows “marsh-pillows.” 

  St Patrick’s Day festivities!   
Fletch got a new Vive, a virtual reality system that Valve produces. Now we have a “VR room.”

  
A tree fell across the road that leads to our house! 
  Here’s the apple tart I made for Pi Day. Nobody wanted any so I ate the whole thing myself! (Homemade crust leftover from Fletch’s birthday pie. Not throwing that away!) 

  Trav was in Lego heaven after his birthday! 



 Twinkies!  

Trav’s 6th birthday!

He had a bounce party at Arena Sports. He had a strawberry cake with Skylanders on it. After the party, Trav said, “I can’t believe all my friends took time out of their schedules to come to my party!”
