Turn 6

Myron’s birthday activities of choice truly reflect what a unique kid he is.  He wanted lobster for his birthday!  Not just any lobster, he wanted “Red Lobster” lobster from the tank.

He picked it out… Red Lobster B day

He ate it…Red Lobster B day 2Red Lobster B day 3

And had room for cake! Red Lobster B day 4

He also picked out the Theme for his party… B-17 Bombers (and P-38s). B day party 1B day party 2B day party 5B day party 3B day party 4

All of his birthday party pictures are from before the party started… once the over 20 children arrived it was controlled chaos (barley controlled chaos).  He loved it.

We’re Back – Christmas 2013

Okay, so clearly doing mobile posts to the blog did not work to help our posts be more regular but am now going to start my lunchtime posts again.  Therefore (hopefully), If I eat lunch I can sneak in a post. ;)

Here is a quick catch up on the Christmas 2013 …

This Christmas (and Birthday) were the year of Lego.  Myron received several large Lego sets.  This Sopwith camel was from Santa.

His requests to Santa this year were a model of the Hindenburg and a Sopwith Camel.  He was (and still is) very interested in WWI and WWII aircraft.

We did the double hop this year with time in MN and FL for Christmas.  We event made it up to St. Cloud for a little time with Ivan and Ivan’s new fish.  Ivan’s Mama (Amy) let me pick him out and name him. I named him Myron. ;)

Minnesota was full of good friend, great family, snow, and…

Punch Pizza!  It is my favorite (and Mama’s too!)

We had about 12 hours at home in-between MN and FL.  We decorated a gingerbread house and ate it!

Florida was wonderful… full of loving family, warm weather, and tons of beach fun@

We even did some bird watching.  I saw a great-horned owl and Osprey.

The only problem with FL.  We were stuck there for three extra days because of the extreme cold and snow in Indianapolis.

We made it home… to this.
