Ace's First Haircut

Little Baby Ace is now 11 1/2 months old, unbelievable to me!  Anyways, he was getting a little shaggy in the hair department.  A certain someone, who shall remain nameless and nephewless, had taken to calling him 'Little Mozart'.  Alas, twas time for the monumentous First Haircut!  After three boys I've gotten quite skilled with the scissors and it was quick and painless.  What a little cutie pie!

Maybe some day I'll figure out how to put these in order.  At least they're rotated!  This is Ace passed out milk-drunk after the party.  Pretty much how we all felt after the day's festivities.

Happy Birthday to Sterling!!!

Sterling loved all of his gifts...thanks everyone!!!

Sterling's Fourth Birthday Bash

So we had a fun party for Sterling although it turned out to be about an hour too long!  I guess we were too efficient at going from one activity to the next.  Abby was a great hostess helper and basically ran all the games for me, she's amazing that way!  One of the many reasons why I keep her around!  What would I do without her?  Lindsey and Jason graced us with their presence and helped with the party too!  We had so much fun with them, ate so much yummy food, and played many games.  What a great weekend!

They all had fun bashing the referee!  Isn't the yard looking lovely? Ugh. I made Joe spread out a tarp so the candy didn't get embedded in the dirt!

We played a balloon popping game and I think feather-weight Sterling lost this game because he could not pop that balloon!  But he had fun trying!

I can't believe my little guy is 4 already!!!  Abby made the banner and put it up all by herself and that's Buster wrapped up in crepe paper and toilet paper for the first gift unwrapping activity at the party!!??  They came up with that idea all by themselves, trust me.

And of course, pin the tail on the donkey!  Sterling just kept saying, "I can't see, I can't see."
