Next up was Gran and Papa's turn for a party! Uncle Kurt was able to join us and we had a fun little pizza party! (And I ordered from my favorite pizza place. I mean I did birth a child three years prior - it's sorta like my birth day, too right??)
Rudy opened his long anticipated blue shoes! Leading up to his birthday we would ask him what he wanted and the answer was always the same, "blue basketball shoes. Two of them." We did some online shopping and would show Rudy options - he would quickly turn them all down, nothing was quite the right shade of blue, I guess. Until we found these… "Yea! Yea! Yea! I need two, Mom. See. Two feet." -- I had never noticed, but online shopping tends to just show the one shoe. Rudy wanted to make sure he wasn't just getting that one… smart kid :)
And more blue cake (decorated by Rudy and Avery - just a few sprinkles) and blue ice cream for dessert!
Our attempt at getting a picture with me and the kids...
Clearly I need to learn how to use photoshop asap because we'll never get a good one without it!
But, really, we are all together and that's what matters :)
It rained alllll day on Rudy's birthday - it rained the day he was born, too. Remember me saying once I like when it rains? Rain seems to come with all the good things in John and I's life.
But the rain didn't stop Rudy from getting outside to hit some balls. Papa pitched and at one point they had a 5-hit streak going!
Avery was cheering Rudy on!
I love when kids' arms are so little they just reach above their head, too cute.

Ben will be able to jump right in one of these days!
And I couldn't help but notice that my yellow rose bush bloomed three blooms that day…
A perfect way to cap off our week of celebrating
