Aaron turns 40!

My brother Aaron turned 40 on August 18th and we celebrated with him on the 24th. We were all there: Kylie, Alex, Justin, Jackson, Aaron and me. I don't know if it was more of a party for Mom since she got to have all of her kids in once place or for Aaron's big birthday- ha! :)

Alex wanted to hit golf balls and Addie wanted to help

He's a lefty without proper clubs...a frustrating experience! 

"Let's try to hit it this way..."

Poor little guy is a left-handed golfer and they just don't make many clubs for kids that way so he was getting frustrated. Jackson got out his clubs and they hit long balls letting the dogs go get them. Alex thought that was pretty funny.

Angry birds...the REAL game

Do not play games with Alex. He cheats. He had an Angry Birds physical game that he wanted to play with me except he knocked the pieces down with his hands instead of his bird and claimed to be the winner. Lame. ;) I have NO idea where he would have learned to play like that. Oh wait, Kylie would refute that claim.

Birthday boy!

Aaron hates having his picture taken which is odd because he's 40 and looks fantastic. He acted like it was actual torture to stand behind his cake and smile. Sigh.

How many people does it take to win Angry Birds on the iPad?

Alex loved having so many people to play with him and he schooled everyone on that darned game!

Sibs photo :)

It seems we all share a hatred of photos, but I think it is important to get group photos every couple of years.

Ms. Madison

Madison even let me pick her up after the sibling photo so I had to document such an occasion. She is just the best little puppy.

Justin and MacKenzie

Justin is driving now! I cannot believe he is old enough to drive. Agh! MacKenzie really wanted to go home with Justin and Aaron for some reason and just wouldn't leave his side. It was kind of funny and kind of hurtful...ha! :)

Sir Alex refueling

Kylie and Alex intended to stay for the weekend, but Alex started not feeling well and needed to get home for breathing treatments. Poor little guy must have played too much. No worries, he's feeling better now.

It was a great day celebrating Aaron's advanced age! ;)
