Dinosaur Dig Party and Aaron turns 30!!!

Joseph had his party with his friends on the Saturday following his birthday. The weather was so nice we were able to have it outside which worked out perfect since it was a dinosaur dig party.
I bought a bunch of dinosaur skeleton bones and sent Aaron out to the sand pit to bury them for the kids to dig up later. It was a lot of fun as was the scavenger hunt for the little baby dinosaur (an inflatable blow up that we hid out in the woods). Aaron was standing back behind a stump and using a blown up balloon to make a whining sound which was supposed to be the baby dinosaur calling for its mother. The kids were so cute as they listened for the sound and followed it through the woods until they found the dinosaur. One of the kids was onto us though, he kept wanting to know where Brother Laws was. (:
We did a T-Rex pinata and sent the kids home buzzing with sugar and bags full of candy. It was fun! Here are some pictures from the day:



I wanted to do something special for Aaron's 30th birthday but he had already received his present months ago. Back in February his cell phone died and since he'd been drooling over the iphone since it came out I told him that I'd get it for him but it was going to be his birthday present (for the next few years!!!). I felt bad not getting him anything for his actual birthday but money was tight and honestly it was such a crazy week I didn't even have time to take the kids to the dollar store to pick him out little gifts from them. To make it worse his birthday was the same day as JoJo's party so I didn't even make him a cake because I got so busy with JoJo's cake and party and was exhausted by the end of a hectic day of t-ball games, cleaning house, cake decorating and party planning for JoJo. Later that night I took Aaron out to dinner for his birthday and secretly planned to have a few friends meet us at the Go-Kart Tracks in Bremerton. It ended up being a fun surprise and I think it helped make the day special for him too. Happy 30th Birthday honey, I hope it was fun.

That is really cute Andria. Sully just had his 4th birthday and on his actually day the 6th we all went to the go Kart place. Sully is loving hot wheels etc. so it was so much fun for him. Look like Aaron liked it too!
