It is the beginning of March and because there will be a lot of hit and missing this month with families taking Spring Break in consecutive order, we decided to celebrate this month's birthdays early. Once I had a theme it was fun to go with it. The pictures that I never took will remain in my mind's eye . . . kids sipping their soda pop, taking out the straw and trying the taste straight out of the bottle . . . then putting the straw back in. They could hardly eat dinner, but the memory of making this novelty happen was worth it!
Landon will be starting baseball this Spring and so he was excited to get a few accessories for that.
I had a precious baby in my arms, and that's the excuse I'll use for blurry pictures, but I love Koen's expression here.
We are looking forward to cheering you on, Landon!
Loved the stunned expressions that came from Ben and Shaun when they opened their bags for each other. I guess there was no question of liking their gift if they bought each other the same thing.
We removed the sparkler from it's packaging and soon realized it was not a regular sparkler. I put the cake in as safe a place as I could think, someone lit it and we had our own fire works! Maybe it's intended for outside use, but I it was a hit!
Wishing a happy birthday to our young dads who play a significant role in their families. They are loved and appreciated! Also to Landon, whose tenderness and energy are everything you want in a growing boy.
Across the ocean, a precious girl (born on February 29) is also celebrating her ninth birthday! We miss you, Makenna and wish you a very happy year ahead!

Now that's a blazing candle. What fun. Landon looks great in his helmet!
What an awesome party! So many fun memories.
Well I never! We always used sparklers for our March birthday, but trust you to take it one step further. Now you'll have to do it always. Better stock up!
Happy Birthdays March people.

What a great idea to celebrate the birthdays all at once. I can see where that will work for our family in the near future. I can see that a fun time was had by all!
I'm still laughing about the fireworks in your kitchen! The kids will remember that one for a long time and nothing after this will be good enough. You have celebrated well and it's such a good idea to combine birthdays into one party! Great photos and facial expressions!
Such a fun theme and awesome birthday sparkler!!! Your grandchildren will have some of the best memories ever.
Such fun ideas for a 'boy birthday' celebration! And the fireworks on the cake would be just what they ordered.
