Jak's 6th Bday Party

Get a couple of paying jobs and then work for a couple of non-profits and then babysit for the neighborhood kids after school and see how much time YOU have to post pictures of significant events on your blogspot...geez.. At long last, here are some pics of Jak's bday party...

Can you believe he's 6??

His request, instead of cake, Star Wars donuts... brilliant!!

Yay!!

Kelan doling out kisses...

Roman as a viking.

Mia in the midst of a sugar high....

and Mia shortly thereafter....

Star wars coloring book. Awesome.

Good pal Roman. Cute enough to be one of ours. :)

Punch drinkers.

Present time!

Monkey Joe's gift card. Woo-hoo!!

Our awesome neighbor and friend, Mallory.

Silly girl Maddi.

Another awesome neighbor and babysitter, Kirra.

More kisses from Kelan. Lucky me.

Kai concerned about donut distribution.

Krystal and Jody.

Jo snuggling Alex & Kelan.

Jay, in the one picture we got of him the entire party!

Slagowski kids and Zickafoose kids have a special camaraderie. I think it's the crazy last names. We often call ourselves Slagafooses or Zickowski's.

More punch? SURE!!!

Alex and Jak getting serious..

BFF Alex.

Mustaches are awesome...

Pics from Jak's bday are coming soon...but for now I'll just leave you with these fantastic photos of Jak and Kai sporting mustaches...

How could you NOT take them seriously? Intimidating, right?

I dare you not to laugh...

Jak had SO much fun with the mustache...

If nothing else, he has a future as a rodeo clown...

Chama came from the ends of the earth (Corvallis, Oregon) to see us and run the Quintiles Wrightsville Beach 1/2 marathon with me. We had some fun times in the week she was here...and now I miss her...

She got to see lots of the boys' crazy musical escapades...

Sing it, Kelan!!

And then she gave them cake.

Kai & Chama

Kelan @ Flaming Amy's Burrito Barn

Kelan rocking a fedora.

Jak rocking a fedora.

Silly boy.

Sillier yet.

Jak with Kelan in a half nelson (or is it a full nelson?). Ahhh, brotherly love...

Once again, I let time get away from me... Here are some recent pics of my handsome crew.

Kelan LOVES legos these days.

and grapes.

I saw this picture and it immediately reminded me of a picture I took of Jak when he was about 18 months old, so I couldn't resist finding it and posting it here as well (because it's so darn cute!!). Notice the hats...once a Laker's fan, always a Laker's fan.

Kai got beat up by the bushes in our front yard while playing football.

Here we are at the car wash and Kelan's all trying to pretend he's not super-excited because he LOVES the car wash.

And then the car wash started.

Kai in the car wash trying not to smile.

Our resident artist.

Kelan melon.

Jak is silly..

so, so silly...

Kelan and Kai have a complicated relationship...here swordfighting with pipe cleaners...

love, love, love...
