Birthday Boys

I love April for a lot of reasons, but celebrating my two boys has to be one of my favorites things about this month. Mitch was turning 31 and Rhett was turning 5. Too old!

On Mitch's birthday we got Korean food (Mitch's favorite) and went to see the cherry blossoms at the capitol.

Mitch tried to convince Rhett to try some kim chi but he wouldn't get anywhere near it.

The cherry blossoms were so beautiful!

Then we stopped at the outlets while the kids slept and Mitch got to use his birthday money at his favorite store- Nike.

Mitch's brothers came over to play tennis (which ended up being handball) and of course ended the night with pie for the birthday boy.

Mitch spent the night of his birthday prepping for Rhett's party the next day. What a dad.

Rhett woke up and had to break through some streamers to get out of his room and loved seeing some presents waiting for him. I love this birthday boy sooo much! He is so good and kind and such a good brother. He loves his sisters fiercely and tells me often that he wants 1,000 more siblings. Then we compromise and he says maybe 9?

He loves creating anything and everything from whatever supplies he has- plastic forks, play-do, tinfoil, blocks, wood, or just paper. He blows us away with his creativity. He loves playing with friends, especially his cousins. Rhett loves riding his bike, playing Wild Kratts, and Super Hero kids. He loves snakes, sharks, foxes, lizards, and most other animals. He loves anything salty and crunchy especially chips and nuts. He loves vanilla ice cream and milano cookies. He loves his dad and any time he gets with him. And still loves snuggling with me. Good thing. He's growing up too fast and can't wait for kindergarten.

Rhett wanted a Paw Patrol party and even helped decorate his own cake!

Mitch had the day off and was so excited to help out with his part. He made up all sorts of Paw Patrol missions that the kids loved. He is so good with kids.
