Matthew & Tyler's bday's are about 21 days apart, so we decided to have a joint party in the middle at an Inflatable Jumpy House. When you do this, you can have a group of 10 or a group of 25 and the "deal" is on the group of 25...so we went for it and had a very long list. This made for a little chaos when we had cake and presents, but oh so much fun for the boys to have lots of friends to run around and play with! I love a gathering of friends...of course the parents of all my kids friends are also my friends. I didn't feel like I got good quality conversation with these friends, but it just makes me smile to have so many great friends all in the same room with us. My mom came from Houston, brother and sis in law from San Antonio, and even our past neigbhors drove in from College Station. Friends from church, school, & neighbors of varying ages, my boys just love their friends, and we are so lucky.
When I was frosting their cakes in the afternoon, Tyler watched methodically and said, "wow, thats going to take a long time...." To which I replied, "yes it will, and I do it because I love you." I'm not that great at cake decorating, but I do it with love, and to show my kids how much I love them. This is my attempt at 2 light saber cakes. Tyler took these shots of me.

Alyssa got a pink pony because our friend Emily saw how much she loves her ratty blue pony, she now carries 2 ponies everywhere she goes. 
Goodbye everyone!
