birthday party fun!

happy birthday to roman & josiah!  we celebrated the boys' birthdays this weekend - will probably do a joint-party until they're older and want their own parties.  :)  here are some pics from the weekend!  

benjamin and gma susan and gma rosie! 

raefe was loving the swing!

here's a glimpse of the playhouse that jake made for the boys
(back R corner of the yard, in the trees)...

josiah, roman & raefe , waiting for ada!

the boys, eating on the lower deck... 

the girls (minus ada) on the upper deck.

benjamin, chewing on his hand, pretty tasty these days...

an empty plate... a good sign!  :)

the birthday boys!  (it was Ross' actual birthday on saturday,
so thanks to him for sharing his big day with our two bday boys!)  :)  

rosie sharing something with rick... maybe a funny story? 

new books... we love books!

ada helping josiah with the gift opening...
many hands make light work!

a smiling ada, driving away after tumbling
off the deck! (no tears... just a big smile!)
