Barron didn't want a party, but wanted to have a special day with his best friend. Troy and I made it extra special. Andee stayed home with a babysitter and we spent the whole day out with them. It was awesome!

We started at the nickle arcade Wunderland......so fun. I think Troy was more into the games than the boys.

Laughing planet for lunch. They won some loot at the arcade...Troy won them a lot of tickets.

Time for some rock climbing

Barron

Jackson. Both boys did awesome

Then to the fun park with the ninja training course (that's what barron calls it). 

Then to the dollar store...they each got $5 and were in heaven. That was Barron's wish for his birthday.

Then home for a quick break and to get Andee for dinner.

Dinner at the lasar tag pizza place. Pizza two nights in a row. Barron is holding a wet cloth on his lips because they are so chapped from licking them. After dinner Troy and the boys played laser tag and Andee and I hung out an waited. 

Then home for the pinata.  

Frosty the Snowman and popcorn and then to bed. The boys fell right asleep. Troy and I did too...whew.

November 14, 2014....Barron turned 5 years old....oh man! Kindergarten next year....WHAT?

He got to open gifts the night before because Troy goes to work early....he loved that.

Birthday breakfast

Auntie Kate delivered Turtle cake pops for Barron. He loved them. She gave me all the mess ups...trouble. I have no will power with cake pops.

I volunteered for Barron's birthday at school. It was so cute. He got to go up in front and put the date and day on the calendar. He also got to put up the weather. He took his spy watch from Andee for show n tell. My mom got him a birthday CD of captain zoom sing happy birthday Barron. I had the same cassette when I was little. Everyone loved the song. He was so excited.

We met my parents and Troy's at Papa Petes in Ridgefield for birthday pizza dinner. 

  

He got a learning game from Nama and Poppy

We all had turtle masks

My mom was tying all the bows for my wreaths she made me. I got ribbon and she made all the bows. She is the best.

Beach weekend November 2014

Andee loves the beach and Barron too

Troy got the shot of Andee and I practicing gymnastics moves...so funny. I was like Andee watch mommy and tried to do a front hand spring...yeah pulled my hammy for the weekend. Troy was like you can't just bust those out anymore...you are almost 40. Ha.

hammy pull.....oh man.

It was beautiful at the beach

We went on a couple of hikes in the rain on Saturday. We hiked to a cool lighthouse.

Troy got the shot at night...so pretty

We found the coolest park in Newport with a pirate ship slide and really fun obstacle course. Barron said he was American Ninja Warrior training.
