Calvin is 5!

He's been 5 for several weeks now, but alas, I've been pokey when it comes to keeping this blog up to date. He had a great time celebrating his birthday. Here's a look at the festivities:

It started off with a fishing pole from his dad, who had been in Eugene studying for and taking the bar, while the kids and I hung out in Klamath Falls. Calvin was almost as excited to see him as he was the fishing pole.

The Cake:

(He's really into Super Mario Bros.)

I could use some practice with the fondant, but it worked alright.

Noni, was a big helper with the cake. Emme was too, she actually designed it, but somehow wasn't around when I took pictures.

We had a fun swimming party at my parents' house where the kids and I swam and everyone (as in Dan, my parents, Dan's parents, my grandma, my brother & his girlfriend) just stood around staring at us. (Granted they were probably watching the kids, but I felt a little like a fish out of water... or in water... ha ha ha)

Lots of fun presents, including a new backpack for school.

Leona particularly enjoyed the cake. I guess all her hard work decorating paid off.

So, that was Calvin's birthday. It was fun.

Posts to look forward to in the future (maybe near, maybe far): pictures from our June vacation to Depoe Bay, pictures from camping in August, pictures of Jonny... maybe I'll just do some big super end of the summer report with lots of pictures....
