Calyn's Birthday

What I like best about blogs is how well you can stay in touch with everyone with one simple post and how much I LOVE to view everyone else's pictures. I think posting pictures is a huge hassle, but I think they make the blog, so here's an attempt to recap a big event in our household and let everyone see how we have been doing in just a few short shots.

First.....the cake. We are known for over the top birthday parties, so for the big number two, we decided to go with a jungle theme.



This is a shot of the be-heading of the monkey. I wanted to post this one to shop how big Calyn is (she is sitting just to my right) and what I'm looking like these days for those who haven't seen me in a while, although it's not the best shot in the world.



Now what is so over the top about that party? Well, besides the cake and games and mask-making portions, I had a friend of mine bring in some exotic animals. This is my dad looking crazed while holding our first guest. Mind you, this is the SMALLEST snake that this dude has in his collection:



And last, but not least, the kids' favorite animal: the tortise. That is Calyn and Phoenix's friend Preston getting up-close and personal.



I hope to post more pics of life in T-town, but until then, its good to be back!
