Celebrating Birthdays...

January is a big month for birthdays in our family - we have seven family birthdays in January! Gina, Adia, Paul & Kenyon, Jill, Brent, & Rochelle. So we've been celebrating all month...as a matter of fact, as large as our family is, we celebrate someone's birthday EVERY MONTH of the year except March! But no worries - we may not have any birthdays in March but we (Paul & I) have an anniversary to celebrate!



Kenyon & G'pa Paul are "birthday buddies" - they share the same birthday. This year Kenyon wanted to have a "dirt bike" birthday party so he helped G'pa Paul make a couple of "jumps."



Kyle & Adison helped, too.



Kenyon got in a couple of practice runs before his friends got there...





Even Kayden got in on the action...



One of the Disney boys caught some "big air!"



It was a great day for a party...70+ degrees! I LOVE California winters!



Speaking of Disney...Disneyland is letting you get in "free" on your birthday this year - so we went with the Petersens to help celebrate Uncle Brent's birthday (which was Da Boyz's Christmas present, too.)



Brent was a good sport & wore his "birthday button" all day long! (This is so out of character for Brent!)



The last time Rochelle went to Disneyland she was pregnant & couldn't ride any rides. I think she had more fun than Da Boyz!



Trevor & Ethan were chosen to participate in The Jedi Training Camp where they were taught how to use a lightsaber properly & fight against the "Dark Side."



Trevor used great form fighting Darth Maul...



But Ethan stole the show, taking on Darth Vadar & two storm troopers at the same time. His Jedi Master told the audience that "the Force is strong with this one."



Cade was "fearless!" He rode EVERY ride without hesitation! His 41" height barely met the 40" height requirement to go on all the "good rides." Here he is on Space Mountain - loving it!



Cade took turns riding with G'pa Paul, then G'ma Jenny...



This picture is to prove that G'ma Jenny was actually there, it's the only picture she was in ...



G'ma Jenny enjoyed most of the day playing with Carson on his 1st visit to the "happiest place on earth."



(Thanks for letting us crash at your place, Gina! It was fun to see you guys AND it made the trip more affordable!) Happy birthday to all you January birthdays...coming up in February? Happy Birthday G'ma Jenny & Unka Ty...

A dirt bike party. How fun is that! Looks like everyone was having a ball. Loved the Disneyland Jedi guys. May the force be with your dear sweet family.
