Dustin's Big Day

 Dustin doesn't get very excited about birthdays anymore, he says that you get to a certain point and it's no big deal anymore. But we try to make a big deal for him.

We had to celebrate the night before because Dustin had to work on his birthday. :( Oh well.

Dustin wanted a Boston Cream Pie and to go out to dinner with his family. We went to dinner at Red Lobster with Grandma B. and the Whites. Afterwards we met at our house for cake (or pie) so we could see Seth, Jess, and Sawyer too.

Grant had a really good time playing with Sawyer and of course Luke had fun with Tyson and Andrew.

Makin' Sumthin'

 After we had dinner tonight, I suggested  a walk or a bike ride but Luke had a different idea. He told me he just wanted to make sumthin with me. He insisted that we needed to make chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting.

So we began and in the middle of everything, discovered we were out of cocoa. Luckily we have really nice neighbors and the Millers gave us some of their cocoa. Luke loves to help in the kitchen and now Grant thinks he needs to help too. It took a lot longer and it was a lot messier than it needs to be but the boys had fun.

Of course the best part was eating the treats!
After thinking about why Luke was so adamant that we needed to make chocolate cupcakes, I realized that he had recently watched a show called "Bedtime for Frances" and they had chocolate cupcakes in that show. So of course Luke had to have some too.

One last play-date

Luke had another play date with Lucas Barrett, Eva and Connor. Grant also loves it when kids come over to play with Luke.

The kids played with a lot of the different toys that we have: cars, our fireman costume and basically enjoyed running around after each other. Luke has such a fun time with his friends!
