Fun with family

Last weekend we celebrated Bob's grand nephew's first birthday.  My boys are always excited about a party because they know that means cake!  Carter is so interested in the idea of birthdays but yet doesn't understand the concept at all .  Each day he tells me what character he would like on his birthday cake and how it is coming very soon.  It breaks my heart to have to tell him that it is still many days away but that I am glad he is planning ahead.  When we go to parties he is the boy that wants to help unwrap the presents.  That drives me crazy because most of the time that is when everyone wants to photograph the birthday child and there sits Carter in the midst of tissue paper and boxes.  He says that the birthday boy wants to share his presents with him.  I finally pull him out of the mix and let him look from afar until they are all unwrapped then he gets a closer look.

Bob, me, Julie (Bob's sister), Katie (Bob's sister), and Steve (Julie's husband)

What a couple! :)

Smash cake

Landon is scarfing down that cake 

Carter couldn't take a moment to get his coat off before he dove into his cake

My mom came up for a visit last weekend also.  Bob went to the Tigers game with a friend and we took the boys to Kids-N-Stuff.  This is a children's hands on museum in Albion, MI.  It was in downtown however it was a ghost town except for a few stores and this place.  It was so cool on the inside.  There were lots of little stations set up for the boys to do.  At first they were overwhelmed and wanted to run around and see everything.  We finally got them settled and they played music, painted, climbed the rock wall, played on the train table, etc.  We were there for over two hours and could have stayed longer.  

A Lego table

Landon loved creating things at the light table with Maw Maw

Isn't this cute.  They were playing and singing their ABC's

He could have painted for hours,

Water table fun...oh, yes Landon has the germ covered fishing pole in his mouth!  Why not!
