Marvel's First Birthday

Yesterday was Marvel's first birthday!!!!!! :)

 

He got two cards in the mail......Thank you!

 I bought a cake and look at the deal I found.  Not only did it actually say 1st birthday, it was 40% off.  I figured it had probably sat around for 3 weeks and would be horrible.  It wasn't!  Yay!  :)

 I know he's only one and should have had just one candle, but we found cute dinosaur candles.  I didn't want one lonely dino, so we used them all. 

 Look at that expression!  He's thinking...I'm blowing those candles out! 

 I took a picture of Dippy's arm.  Shhhh...don't tell him.  ;)

 He didn't blow the candles out.  He wanted to touch.

 Kirk was flipping out and kept grabbing his hands so he didn't get burned. 

 Widget had to take over the blowing out of the candles for Marvel.

 CAKE!!!!!!!!

 YUM!!!!!!

 Grandma finally sent the PJ's that she had been making for Dippy and Goofy.  Dipp's don't fit very well.  He had the pants on, too....almost. 

 Stella likes these messy kids when they eat.  Thanks to Widget when he was younger she gained a lot of weight.  I can see that it's just going to keep going!

Widget's Classroom Tour

After getting all the kids to school and grabbing some breakfast yesterday, we were able to go to Widget's preschool and look around his classroom.  He was excited to go in, but I'm not sure he's going to want to stay!

 

 He wanted to know where the paint was for the easel. 

 He found his name on the wall.

More Morning Pictures

Dingy was sooo excited about starting her last year of high school.

 

 Then, I got THIS.

 Widget was running while I was trying to get pictures.  I don't think his feet are on the ground.

 And away they go.

 I think Widget really wanted to go, too.

 Then we moved on to getting Goofy out the door.

 Widget dressed himself this morning.

First Day of School

Here are the first day of school pics.  We're just missing Dippy.  I did get one, but he didn't smile, and he hates when I put his picture all over the internet.  So I decided to be nice today and skip over him....this time.

 

 And here's Goofy ready for the first day of first grade!! 

Widget doesn't start preschool until next week.  We can go look at the classroom today and then Thursday is his orientation.

Dingy's First Days of School

Today is Dingy's last first day of school.  Today she started her senior year.  I found most of her first day of school pics.  For some reason, I am missing pictures from a couple of years.  But enjoy what I found.  :)

 

First day of preschool.

 Kindergarten.  (you can tell this is before digital pictures)

 First grade

 Second grade.  (and look, Dippy used to smile for pictures)

 And we skip to 6th grade.

 And today.  Such a lovely pose.

Random Pictures

I haven't had anything new to put on the blog lately, so maybe this will hold you over til tomorrow's first day of school pictures get posted.  Marvel had a bath after breakfast this morning.  He really loved all the bubbles I gave him. 

 

 And the pink thing on his cheek.....yeah, it's just some leftover Lucky Charms.  :)  (also part of the reason he was in the bathtub.)

Marvel Likes Cake!!

 

I don't know how I did this picture.  Kind of wish I did...I like it!!  :)

 

 Dingy got a promotion at work yesterday.  After taking the summer off to have fun, she went back to Chick-fil-A on Monday.  Tuesday night, they offered her a team leader position.  We had to celebrate with cake! 

At first, Marvel just sat there feeling the cake. 

 I fed him some...then he LOVED it!!!

 I figured he needed a little practice with it to get ready for his first birthday cake next week.

And I know, Dingy got promoted so she should have had her picture here somewhere, too, but Marvel's cuter.  ;)  Just kidding, Dingy......sort of.  :)
