7 on the 7th!

You could say he got a little spoiled! He got soooo many awesome things for his birthday. Pokemon cards,

ninjagos,

And then there was his party! He had a laser tag party with his buddies. It was a blast!

While waiting to play laser tag, TJ brought some quarters for everyone so they could conveniently play some arcade games while they were waiting!:)

After their first game they had a little pizza and....

...cake! This beautiful creation was made by Babbie. She made Pikachu from Pokemon just by looking at a picture. Amazing!

Here they are waiting to find out their scores. See the anticipation on their faces?

Make a wish!

Yum!

Yum!

Mom and her boy!

The Christiansen boys and Kason

I tried to get some shots inside the laser tag arena. They didn't turn out so great, but you get the idea!

Present time!!

The best present was waiting for him at home. Gregory got Marshall a FROG!! The history behind this gift choice was that one night after baseball Marshall was hanging out with Gregory and caught a frog!! Since we didn't have anywhere to keep it (It was huge) Gregory took it home. Unfortunately the frog hopped away (actually died, but we wanted to sugar coat it for the kids :)) Anyways, He decided to get Marshall a frog for his B-day. How thoughtful. He gave him this tank, already equipped with a filter, and rocks etc. He even had crickets to feed the frog and cricket food to feed the crickets!

What a good friend! Giving Marshall his first pet!

Here is the fire-bellied toad up-close and personal in Marshall's hand!

Happy Birthday Marshall! This guy had the best birthday yet.

Fourth of July 2011

This 4th of July was amazing in more than one way. First, the weather was PERFECT 80's during the parade! Second, our cousins came to visit from Kentucky, and third all of TJ's buddies were in town so they came over for a little 4th of July BBQ!

Sylvie liked getting the pretties they handed out for the parade.

Kason was in the parade this year! He was so brave and enjoyed every minute of it!

Mesmorized by the parade. Everyone had an all out water fight toward the end. Next year we will be more prepared.

Brig and his cousin Makelle. Soo cute!

Let the silly string wars begin! After the parade we went to the park and had tons of fun with silly string ...

And confetti filled eggs!

These two became best friends.

Makelle was helping Sylvie get silly string off of her hand. Soooo cute!

We got home and got ready for the BBQ.

Here are TJ's buddies from highschool. All grown up now!:)

Here is the whole crew. Kids and all!!

We watched the fireworks from Grandpa and Babbie's roof...

These pics didn't turn out that great cause I took them from my phone. But, atleast I captured the memory! Happy 4th!!

Baseball 2011

Marshall and Kason played on separate leagues this year which was both good and bad. Good because they were right were they should be with their skills, but bad because all the games were back to back which was hard to juggle with all our kiddos. But we did. They both played great. Marshall played coach pitch which he was awesome at and Kason played t-ball. Marshall was great at getting guys out and he got some awesome hits! Kason liked hitting the ball more than being in outfield but he still had fun. Kason did mention that he liked resting! Lol!

Marshall and his buddy Gregory got on the same team!
