Pops' big 7-0

We were pumped to follow up our DC trip w a trip to B-vile for Pops' 70th. We broke out the DVD players and it worked great for P&Q. 

We arrived and we're happy to learn that Griff had a flag football game we could watch. It was awesome! The kids loved seeing Griff's game. 

Particularly this guy. He made Jim play football w him when he wasn't running around w his cousins. 

We also learned Jack can throw a perfect spiral. Dude. Totes jealous. After the game I told them to pose for a pic. Griffin said "I don't like my smile." His smile is awesome! Then he stuck his water bottle between his legs and pretended to pee and my kids were officially in love w their cousin. I mean- potty humor unites!

That evening the girls played dress up w Finley. 

And made pizza w Aunt Katie. Jack is so shy and Hill is quite the opposite. Just listening to the things that come out of her mouth cracks me up. And sometimes makes me cringe. 

Dinner time for kiddos w Aunt B and the birthday guy:

Me and the youngest cousins:

They totes started playing which was ADORBS. I found them giggling in the corner. 

Jack has been telling all her friends how great Nick is at drawing. Especially Knights, she says. 

Maybe the best birthday cake I've ever eaten. 

The cake:

Presents. True to form, we forgot to get Pops a present. We are a mess!

The next morning, Uncle Aaron helped Hill dress as a fire chief. 

She bought it. Cutest fireman I've ever seen!

Ben heard Finley had a soccer game and lost his mind. So we watched her play and it was a great game. She played awesome. And she totes inspired Hill to at least SAY she wants to play. 

Tues morning (afternoon?) Benny slept at the gym. He slept for over an hour and woke up furious at me. 

Meanwhile hilly and Hannie colored. 

Tuesday afternoon Em came over and was kind enough to play school w my tyrant children. Benny has been all about that soccer ball. at one point I said "kick the ball back to me!" And he responded "first I have to run!" He took a lap around the yard, came back and returned the ball to me. 

Here he is- with a stick. 

Last night.
