Paaarrrrty!

Here are some fun pics from Gage's pirate party! We had a nice intimate party, and the lil' buccaneers had a blast.

Our little pirate!

Treasure chest cake! I had so much fun making this!
Chocolate moustache

MMMM Cake!
Gage in the pirate ship made by his Grandmama Ginger and his Great Grandpa Weaver. It's made from a cardboard box, but comes complete with mast, cannons, and steering wheel. The kids LOVED it!

Pirate cousins!

Happy 1st Birthday Gage!

 12 months ago today... Gage Paul Sanders arrived at 8:09 am weighing in at 7 lbs 12 oz, 20.5 inches, and bringing immeasurable love and happiness to our family. We love our easy-going, happy, fun little bubbers. Enjoy 12 months of Gage!

Flagstaff!

Last weekend we got to go to Flagstaff, hooray! We hadn't been up in a couple of years, and we were so excited to get out of the heat for a bit. (It was actually pretty warm up there, but whatever.) Well, it was an interesting weekend for us to say the least. Addie had been up and down with fever, cough, ear infection, etc. for about 2 weeks prior to us going and had started antibiotics earlier in the week so we decided it was ok to go. (In hindsight, that was our 1st mistake.) Our 2nd mistake was sleeping in one hotel room with light sleeper Gage, paired with coughing Addie... sigh. It was nice to get away and we did have some great moments, but we were all exhausted (read: whiny children) and ready to come home on Sunday.

Strollin' around campus

Her favorite way to see Mom & Dad's alma mater - atop Papa's shoulders!
NAU is basically under construction, and has changed so much since we left 6 years ago. We definitely feel old...

Checkin' out Louie!

 I love this next pic! Flag in the fall is the best!


 We did get to eat at some of our favorite places (Mike & Rhonda's, Buster's, Crystal Creek), super yummy! Sadly, one of our favorite old haunts, Roma Pizza, isn't there anymore, boo! And no trip would be complete without a round of disc golf. As Cam puts it, "It was partially responsible for at least half a point drop in my GPA senior year." Ha. ;)

It's on top! She's a natural!

Very proud to be playing with Daddy.
She has the battle scar on her hand to prove it.
We love it and miss it! Hopefully the next trip will have more sleep involved! :)

While watching It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown-

Sally starts yelling at Linus in the pumpkin patch because the Great Pumpkin didn't show and she missed tricks or treats. Addie pipes up, "Why is she doing that? She didn't have to go there."

We could learn a lot from 4 year olds.
