Recently Ben's mum celebrated her 60th birthday. They spent 2 weeks in Belize and came back very tan and rested. The day they returned, we met up with them at Kevin and Erin's home along with 2 surprises. Jenny's twin sisters, Ann and Barbara, flew over from England to surprise her for her birthday. Needless to say she was "Gobsmacked"!
Today was opening day for Owen's T-Ball. He had such fun and they even got to see a helicopter up close and watch it take off and fly over head. It was really cool! We all enjoyed seeing that!!
We had a great Memorial Day weekend with Grandpa and Grandma at Monument Lake. It was crazy windy on Saturday and very cold. But the rest of the weekend turned out great. The fishing was excellent and as the title suggests someone caught nine fish. That was Owen. He had a great fishing experience and made fishing look really easy. He even offered some advice to Dad! Dad and Grandpa had a great time flyfishing and nearly froze themselves to death one night. But the smiles on their faces made up for all the discomfort of not being able to feel their extremities! Gavin was not into fishing this trip, but with the help of Grandma they put together a very nice rock collection! And best of all we made it there and back safely!
We brought cupcakes to his school with transformer rings on top. They were a huge hit with the kids. Owen made his birthday crown at school.
On the day of his birthday, we had over family for cake and ice cream. It was a great time!. Mom cheated on the cake this year and made a simple chocolate cake with a transformer sitting on top. Of course, it took no effort and was by far his favorite!! Irony!!
