It was an excellent Backyardigan adventure!

We had Dalton's 3rd birthday party in the coffee shop at our church with his closest buddies Saigel, Addison, and Riley.

Enjoying American Pie pizza

Dad put this together on photoshop and displayed it on the flat screen T.V.s. We also had Backyardigan music playing to set the "mood".

Look! It's Uniqua and Pablo!

"Hi! I'm Uniqua!"

"Hi! I'm Tyrone!"

After pizza, Dalton decided it was time to open presents.

Arlyn Howard made his cake again this year and did a wonderful job!

A new "bouncy thing" made it's debut at the party. I love this picture of these sweet kids!

Explaining the rules to "Pin the bowtie on Pablo".

This boy is something else....I put the blindfold over his eyes and gave him the bowtie sticker to put on Pablo. He put that sticker so perfect on Pablo...not sure he could have done it better had he have been able to really see. It was quite shocking!
(You can see how close he got in the picture below...)

And....look who decided to show up early! This is a picture of my newest nephew, Tucker Blaise Hillis. His mommy, Kim, went into labor Monday night and he was born 5 weeks early Tuesday morning at about 6 weighing 6lb. 2oz. He had a little trouble breathing at first and had to be taken the ACH. He is doing so much better now. He is completely off of his oxygen and getting to be nursed. He is so precious! Just another one to join the list of January birthdays in our family: his dad, Spencer,(he missed his birthday by about 6 hours!), Aunt Gina(12), and Dalton(23).

Big Brother, Jameson. He was really wanting to see his new little brother, but the hospital would not allow little ones to go in. We assured him that he would get to see him all he wanted very soon when they took him home. He will probably eventually be wondering when can we take him back!
