a day worth celebrating

even though valentine's day is a totally bogus holiday, there is still a lot of things to celebrate

we celebrated bradley mattingly's 1st birthday

the boys loved the bubbles...and the rocks. we were up for pretty much anything that would keep ryder somewhat happy (he is the one with the balloon head). homeboy only slept about 20 minutes all day long, and he was more than a bit grumpy.

bradley and ryder have been buds for quite a while. today was just like old times

sporting his new hand knit cap

megan and blake enjoy the festivities

first he ate the chocolate cupcake and then polished of the vanilla one. just like a real man.

isaac was a big fan of the cupcakes too

the whole gang

after the party we headed to dinner with grandpa (thanks,al!) and auntie at sammy's.

ryder sporting the shades

let's hear it for romantic dinners

to top it all off, isaac turned two and a half today, and annie and i celebrated 5.5 years of marriage. see, some things are worth more than a box of chocolates.
