Hunter's Birthday

We helped celebrate one of my nephews birthdays yesterday evening. Hunter is twelve days older than Joshua, and they are great buddies. All the cousins get along really well and love each other tons. Can you tell? :-)

We were glad for the sunshine so the kids could get some energy out while dinner was being gotten ready. Here they are enjoying some sidewalk chalk
Chloe wrote 'happy birthday hunter' and Joshua drew this birthday cake with flower decorations.
Brannon drew fish and seaweed in the ocean.
Hunter drew a bigfoot footprint (not pictured) and some scenery with sunshine and flowers and a big heart.
Brannon doing a trick...
Joshua on the swing doing a trick cause big brother's getting so much attention lol

The birthday boy with one of his uncles.

Hunter's excitement was infectious and we had to keep corralling the other kiddos so he'd have a little air space to open his gifts:) They like grandma's big footstool...
Little Miss Haylie

Josh enjoying a gluten-, egg- blah blah blah-free cookie

Eliana did not like the feel of cold sticky ice cream lol
Noah enjoying his Rice Dream...
The birthday boy, I think he's quite excited about that piece of cake
I had to sneak in a picture of my honey:) I know your mouth is wide open babe, but at least it's not the pizza picture! You're just too cute, love you:)
After the excitement of presents and cake Melissa brought out her Wii and we had some fun while Dad sought refuge in his newspaper...
And Brannon helped Hunter with his new legos...
We took turns with Dance Revolution for a bit, then the boys got into boxing. Here's Zac (dad of Hunter and three other cuties) and Shiloh boxing

Then Nate and Levi had a turn...

I realized later I didn't get any pics of the kids boxing. First Chloe and Brannon went, they had a blast. Then Hunter and Joshua took a turn; it was funny they both decided they were done at the same time, right before their turn was up. Guess they got bored all of a sudden. :)

I didn't have too many ddr pics plus I was trying to be kind to those who were dragged into doing it and may not want to see their pics lol! I couldn't help myself with the boxing ones tho, the guys were having so much fun:)
