Birthday Party

Patrick's birthday party was a lot of chaos and a lot of fun all rolled into one neat little package. Nothing quite compares to a gaggle of youngsters running around the house, hyped up on sugar and screaming their brains out, along with a few babies to add to the excitement.

Having spent the past two months looking forward to having his friends over for his party, Patrick was thrilled that the day finally arrived. They all had fund fun making some t-shirts, cake and ice cream was a big hit, the presents were wonderful, and the Bob-the-Builder pinata full of candy was a highlight.

This page has a bunch of pictures: the Bob the Builder cake, t-shirt fun, food time, presents (including Owen getting into the thick of it), the pinata, singing and blowing out candles, Patrick's 'old-school' train track, and Owen and Jacob having some quality time. The last four pictures are from the day after where Patrick was able to enjoy some more cake, and Owen was quick to pounce on the leftovers! Enjoy!

Oh, and one last thing, a video of our garbage disposal...err...sweet little Owen chowing down on that cake that Patrick left behind. (Very Large, but fun to watch. Give it time to open.)

Handsome Men

Thought you might enjoy a picture of these two handsome men. What a pair they make.

Patrick Turns 3!!!

Patrick's Birthday on Tuesday was a lot of fun. He woke up and immediately realized that he could open presents.

Of course the real fun came when it was time for his birthday cake. Here are some pictures:

Owen once again immersing himself in his food.

"Peek-a-cake?"

"Who Wouldn't Love Birthday Cake?"

Next two links are a couple of videos. These are huge files (over 10mb) so they may take some time to load.
Eating Cake
"I'm Three!"

Of course the only thing you can after immersing yourself in that much cake and icing is to head for the tub!
Here's a picture of our two ducks. No babies were injured in the filming!
And care was taken to ensure that the previous picture and the following film were compliant with FCC and other standards. Video: "Three Little Ducks" (Large)

Video Fun!

Here's a couple of short videos of the boys. They were in a good mood on 7-feb so we took a few short videos of them. (Note: the videos are short, but still very large so they may take a minute to download.)

Patrick likes working on the railroad, but could do without his brother's greasy hands on him.

Owen on the other hand has been watching Bob the Builder with his big brother and is starting to the hang of "Can we fix it!......YES WE CAN!"
