July 5th Tyson turned 28! It's crazy how fast the time is going now. It just seems to speed up each year! It's hard to imagine that Tyson is 28 and I am almost 29, but at the same time, we have 2 (almost 3) children and have been married for just about 5 years. So, logically, it all makes sense. It just doesn't feel like that much time has passed, but yet it does. (Cue: Time warp music) Anyways, his birthday was a fun day for all!
It's too bad he had to work because the kids and I did lots of fun activities during the day: water color painting, games, shaving cream, reading books, grocery shopping, and making dinner. Shaving cream was probably the favorite, followed by a close second of painting with water colors. Here is the proof of enjoyment:

| First, it is serious business. |
 |
| See? Serious business |
 |
| Then, it's just fun.... |
 |
| and more fun! |
 |
| I couldn't get Eve to smile for the camera, but she loved it! |
 |
| It's always fun when mom lets you put stuff all over your body and doesn't even get mad! |
When Tyson came home we had dinner (and I don't even remember what it was - I blame it on the pregnancy brain) and celebrated his birthday! We even made his favorite cupcakes with his favorite frosting (the rainbow chip kind - always a crowd pleaser).
After dinner he opened his gifts and we had a party! His parents sent him a birthday-in-a-box. This is an all-inclusive box, complete with party hats, noisemakers, gift card for dinner, gift card for home depot, party snacks, party game,and prizes. It was pretty intense! Everyone loved it! It truly made the party :) He also opened our presents: 4 movie tickets to see whatever movie he wanted (we saw Harry Potter with 2 of them and need to use the next 2) and 2 games: guillotine and lost cities. It was pretty great!
After all the present opening, we sang happy birthday and Tyson blew out the candles! We ate our cupcakes, played pin the tail on the donkey, and played with the party favors. It was pretty great!
Happy 28th Birthday Tyson!

| About to sing.... |
 |
| Trying to blow it out, but it was a bit harder than expected. |
 |
| He finally got his candles all blown out. |
 |
| Cupcakes are fun - especially the frosting! |
 |
| Pin the tail on the donkey - I think Reed legitimately won! |
Singing "Happy Birthday" (Reed did a great job singing, I just sang too loud - so you can't hear him too well)
Eve singing "Happy Birthday" - definitely a musical girl!

Happy birthday to Tyson! It looks like it was fun day for you all (even though Tyson missed some of it!). I've been meaning to pull out shaving cream for my kids to play with too, so this inspired me and I think will tomorrow! Looks like they had lots of fun:)
