1st "Party"

Since Derek's birthday is usually on a week day we always have cake and give him a small gift. Sunday is his party with his family and friends...
His thing yesterday was... "I can't do anything today...because birthday boys don't have too"

His cake... from Food Lion..his party cake will be a 5 made out of cupcakes!!!

Larry's parents didn't come up...they had the 5 candle..so we used a 4 and 1. Derek told us he was 41...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU... HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR DEREK...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU..
How handsome is this kid!!!
Cerah was very excited to get some cake
Uncle Tony...my brother came over...
Aunt Jackie too.... their baby is due in 21 DAYS!!!!! They won't be at the party..they're having a shower!!
This icing sure is good!!!
MOM..stop trying to give me kisses!!!
CHEESE

Dad and Derek..... This is the same shirt Larry wore the day Derek was born...he still has it and wore it!!! What a GREAT DAD!!!

Momma and her big boy!!
FIREWORKS for Derek's birthday.... we always save some from the 4Th for him...
Dad and Derek waiting to see what's going to happen
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK now a question.... nothing to do with Derek's party... My dishwasher STINKS!!! I have tried EVERYTHING!!! The Internet said put a bowl of baking soda in to absorb the Oder... DIDN'T WORK.... ran a cycle with vinegar...DIDN'T WORK...

Does anyone have any ideas on what to do????

Also..tonight is my first walk with the 100 mile club... a group through parks and rec that gets together to walk.... when you have reached 100 miles you get a t-shirt...every 100 miles after that.. you get another prize.... So Cerah and I are going tonight and the boys are going to bball

Derek went to the Dr today.. 3 SHOTS!!! Brave kid... only cried when he got the last one......

45 lbs and 45 inches.... think I should play 45 in the MEGA MILLIONS :)
