Ted's Birthday celebration!

A few weeks ago we went to Temple to celebrate birthdays! We started off celebrating Ted's b-day which was Jan 17th. Steph, Zach and Autumn came up to Temple to celebrate too (Ed had to stay home and work, so we missed him being with us). We had a blast! We had a birthday lunch and then home for cake and gifts... (the icing ran a little bit on the cake... so pardon the blue streaks)





We listened to a broadcast online for a minute (from Focus on the Family- which is awesome by the way)... I had to get a picture of this RARE moment! Autumn doesn't ever sit in her Papa's (Ted) lap... but she did for a few minutes and here's proof...



Zach brought his Wii, so we spent a lot of time playing it!!! We bowled, played baseball, and tennis... all of which I'm NOT good at (for the record)! Anyway... it was a lot of fun. Below are some pics of ALL the people who participated...










We even had a little family tournament in bowling... brackets and all!! :o)


This is what Briley and Landry did... (if you've seen how big both of them are, you would be amazed that they are BOTH in the crate at the same time! They were so cute!)
Zach and Autumn enjoyed the crate too!


Steve had some great bonding moments with Zach and Autumn. Zach has always loved his uncle Steve... but Autumn has always been a little hesitant to go to him, look at him, talk to him, etc. But she adored him this weekend!


She watched him get ready for bed while he brushed his teeth

and followed him around as he packed the car when we left to head home


I also got some binding time with Autumn... we had ourselves a little tea party on the couch!

It was a GREAT weekend! Stay tuned for the post of the other birthday parties (J3 and J4) that we went to that weekend!!!
