We finally celebrated the July 9th birthdays yesterday and had a blast doing it!! Jackson requested a robot party, meaning robot cake, robot decorations, robot hats, and pin-the-antenna-on-the-robot. We also had Ryan's favorite marzipan birthday cake. Two cakes? I'm not complaining!
A while ago it kind of became a tradition to throw the birthday person in the pool, fully clothed. This year did not disappoint. Anyone. Not even the non-birthday people!!
Pin-the-antenna-on-the-robot:
Ha! I love this picture with Ryan sporting the robot party hat and his new water belt thingy for running. Making a fashion statement for sure!
Just testing out his new water belt running thingy (that's definitely the technical term for it):
The cakes. Michelle made the robot one and I slaved for hours over the marzipan one (or at least for a few minutes to put in the order at Granite Bakery).
Marc was leaving for Spain the next day so he joined in the party from California via skype, hence the computer Mark is holding.
The birthday boys blowing out their candles (what should have been a combined total of 58 candles-woah!):
This is where the real craziness began. Jackson was "trying" to push Craig in, when out of nowhere Jonathan sacrificed his dry self to get two of the three birthday boys in the pool:
At this point, anyone standing this close to the pool is guaranteed to be wet in less than 60 seconds...
Before we knew it, one-by-one everyone else ended up in the pool. This was one of the best reactions:
I thought I was safe since I was holding our camera, but that ended up not being the case. We all ended up in the pool by the end. Too bad many of us had no extra clothes or underwear with us!
It was a lot of fun and after we all dried up and the kiddos went to bed, we finished up the party by watching the Bachelorette, of course. The best part was that Craig was the one who requested that (don't deny it, Craig!) and the guys were all just as into it as the girls. Makes for some really intelligent, high-quality conversation. American T.V. at its finest. :)
