'Best day, EVER'

Happy birthday boys...shaded tables for sitting was a must!

Getting the pool and slide ready for the party!

Me with the boys and Erin :)

Kelly came for the party...what an awesome friend!

Papa was the best host for the party...

T & I in the deep end!


Everyone swims when you are in Houston! Lala and T going for the deep end.


Boys cake...we do not recommend using sparklers...!

Daddy lighting the candles after the sparklers bombed. :) Even though Drew was huffing and puffing to blow them out.

Now we got it! Drew sneaking in to help T out!

Some RJ Goodies...can't beat their cakes!

All tuckered out, but of course Drew had to have T's new baseball gloves on!


It was a great party. You can't have enough water for an outside summer party in the heat of Houston. And since Drew wanted a waterslide party and Tyler wanted a pool party, we thought what the heck, why not have both! We hired our babysitter (who is a certified swim instructor) and let the kids run out their energy for 5 hours in the pool! They had a blast. Even though the sparklers ended up being a 'good idea with poor execution'...we managed to not start any fires or lose any hair (my grandmother's hair went up in smoke (fire) at Sarah's wedding when we used sparklers as they left the reception. We have a picture of one of our friend's literally jumping on her to put it out). So I guess I should have known better...word to the wise for anyone else attempting such an idea.
Thanks to all our great friends and their little ones for coming out and making it the best birthday yet!
We look forward to celebrating T's birthday on July 12th, same as Mimi's!

I love those little guys. Especially my future son in law. I love that he gives me hugs and smiles so big every time I see him. You guys make adorable kiddos. Hope to see you guys again this week so I can wish them both happy birthdays!! :)
