Next Stop....Birthday Party.....

The day finally arrived to celebrate Moses's big day with his closest friends!  Well, when it was showtime, Moses did not want to wear either of his pirate hats.  So we took party pics with them instead. 

Here's Jason and Ryden sporting silly hats and silly smiles!

Here's big boy Bennett with his mommy, Kelly.

Reese wanted no part of the pirate hat, so we just made Michael wear it.  What a sport!

Just like her older sister, Rowan wouldn't wear it either.  So we made Meredith wear it.

Corey and Moses up to no good.  They shook every soda can in the cooler and then stuck them back in for some poor unsuspecting soul.  What boys!

"You mean this cupcake is all for me....and there's fire on top of it!"

"Okay I guess I'll blow out the fire....if my wish will really come true!"

"YUM...YUM....YUM!!!"

"Don't mess with me!  I'm eating cake!" - Talia

"Did I get a little frosting on my face?" - Charlie

"Can you tell that I liked the cupcake?" - Celeste

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME AGAIN....and AGAIN!"

"THANKS TO ALL MY FRIENDS FOR MAKING IT A GREAT ONE!"

Next Birthday Stop.....Legoland....

On Moses' actual birthday, we headed to Legoland.  Halmani and Halapoji got to join in on the fun.  

The first stop was an airplane ride for the boys.

After a few more rides, we headed to Castle Hill to play on the obstacle course.  The first one down the steep slide was the birthday boy!

The next brave soul was Halapoji.  Don't think he's been down a slide in years!

The next victim was Halmani....a little nervous but ready for the challenge!

 

The last victim was Daddy himself.

After all that adventure, the last stop was the splash area!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME....AGAIN!"

Birthday Weekend.....First Stop....Chuck E. Cheese....

When asked what he wanted to do for his pre-birthday celebration, our monkey wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese....of course.

So the riding of every motorized vehicle in the place begins.

"I've got driving skills!"

Now it's time to kick back on a helicopter ride.

"Pull over. I'm Officer Moses!"

From police officer to a chauffeur....what a life!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!"

Yo Ho! Yo Ho!

In preparation of his pirate themed birthday party, Moses wanted to find the perfect hat for the occasion. 

Check out the new matey!

"AHOY MATEY!"

"AAARGGGHH!"  This is my scary pirate side.

 

"I think I'm more of a pirate captain!"

Think we are ready for the birthday celebration to begin!

Diaper Daredevils.....

The diaper daredevils are Moses and his buddies, Charlie, Ryden and Sam.  

Is this not the cutest thing ever?

Stroller for Sale....

With a new baby on the way, we didn't have any use for a single Bob stroller.  We decided to sell it on Craigslist and needed to take some photos.  Interestingly enough, Moses didn't want to part ways with his Bob, because before this point, he wanted no part of it.  

Who could resist buying the stroller with that face?

Master Chef of his own Kitchen

The Rouse Family was nice enough to pass down their handmade kitchen to Moses.  As soon as Jack, Charlie, and Natalie showed him the ropes around the kitchen, Moses was ready to get cooking.   

His first delectable creation was pizza!

"It's MMMUUUAAAH....MAGNIFICO!"

And like any master chef, a meal isn't complete without a little banging of the pots and pans! 

Thank you Rouse Family!
