Taking Our Show on the Road

Micah has been VERY excited about his cousin's birthday party for the past month and a half and this past weekend it was finally here! We weren't sure if I'd be allowed to go (it involved us going to San Antonio for the weekend) but thankfully my doctor said it was ok to travel as long as I did bed rest once we were there. Sooooo, instead of spending the weekend on our couch I spent the weekend on my brother's couch... which was a nice change of pace, actually :)

The same day that I was admitted to the hospital two weeks ago, my brother's family got into a car accident. Ben got nasty air bag burns on his hands and Amy (my sis-in-law) broke her pinkie and had to have surgery last week. Just what every mom wants a week before throwing a party, a broken finger on their dominant hand :P Well, in a way it kinda worked out. I was able to sit on their couch and cut things out for her as well as icing cupcakes (try doing that one handed!). I wasn't able to go to the party, it was at a park, but from everything I saw it looked SO COOL! Way to go, Amy!! Nate took some pics for me because I hate to miss kids parties (not even kidding)....

Evan (the birthday boy) tearing up the superhero obstacle course WHILE holding a present, which is just plain impressive~


Micah's got some mad ups!

Lizzie, as a typical almost 2 year old, was doing her own thing~

Amy explaining how to take out the villains with the bean bags~

Almost there Bubba!

Super Micah!!

From the pics Nate got, I gathered that Micah was VERY dedicated to taking out the villains~

Lizzie prefers to try to council them into changing their ways~

Micah helping to rebuild the stone wall for the next super hero to bust through~

And of course a real live villain who, when attacked by silly string, would cough up candy for all the heroes~

Seriously great job Amy.... so many excellent creative touches!
