Last But Not Least

EZ turned 5 on May 26. He was so excited about his party and I was so excited to be done with birthday parties. Having all the kids' birthdays in May is kind of cool and kind of exhausting. It was an extra special party because my parents came into town, which is the best present ever. EZ's party had a super hero theme. Here he is with his Batman cake thanks to the local grocery store HEB.
The best part of the Batman cake was the bright blue icing and what it did to all the kids' faces.

Part of the party was water games in the backyard. We don't have any pictures because EZ kind of wigged out and didn't want anyone getting him wet. Yeah he can be a pill when it comes to splashing. Of course he loves to squirt and splash other people, but the minute someone gets him it is all over. I should have known it would be a bad idea. Luckily, all the other kids had a great time and we had other things to do like this pinata.

Just so you know I thought we were going to hang it but John volunteered to hold it. No one made him do it. He is just crazy and lucky because amazingly had did not get hit in the family jewels by any of the kids or adults for that matter. The pinata was not too keen on breaking so in the end all the adults had to take a swing as well. Here is my dad. . .

. . .and Uncle Casey. . .

. . .and finally John was able to finish it off.

Despite the water debacle, if you ask EZ about his party he will say that he loved it so that is all that matters. Plus Kung Fu Panda 2 came out that day and we all went to see it. EZ was so excited. He had a Kung Fu Panda party for his 3rd birthday and has been obsessed ever since. Between party, movie and grandparents I would have to say that was a pretty awesome birthday.

Can you believe it has been five years since we were trotting around East Lansing with our newborns? Sometimes it seems forever ago and sometimes it just seems like yesterday. Miss you!
