A few birthday pics~

(Unrelated sidenote: It rained and rained here this afternoon with temps in the high 70's!! Oh, we needed a break from the heat so bad, and we got it! Even now that the rain has stopped, the sun has been hesitant to glare it's ugly face today. Thank the Lord!)
5 minutes into the party, Sam was yanked from the pool for unsportsman like conduct. Actually, if ya wanna put a fine point on it, he was yanked for inappropriate language. Here you see him warming the time out chair.
And here you see the eleven year old blowing out his candles! Check out the hair! In case you're wondering, the other children had refreshments also. I just bought a small cake for Jack's candles and a couple dozen mini cupcakes otherwise. What can I say? It was 136 degrees outside, and I wanted to move things along quickly.

The partying crew!

I'm off to the AT&T store to pick up some stuff for my new phone. (Did I mention here that DaddyP got me the new iphone? Not sure what got into him, but it's charging as I type. Note to iphone-ers, Ebay has tons of VERY cheap cases, covers, accessories, etc. WAY cheaper than the AT&T store/Best Buy, etc. And the selection is enormous! Check it out! A friend pointed me in the ebay direction, and I've found the CUTEST covers there. The best part is that you can buy multiples to change them out for dirt cheap!)
