The first of a couple of birthday parties here at the Bailey house was held in June. We always celebrate Bean's birthday and Natalie's birthday, along with Father's Day. The Plymouth Bailey's always come, and KK and Seth came as well.
So, Seth might be a future engineer. He totally rigged up (without any of us really paying attention) the hose to the slide and pulled over Steve's (our neighbor) kiddie pool and the kids had a great time on their "water slide!"
Natalie got to open some of her presents from her grandparents. This cute picture of Natalie and Grant is actually a magnetic puzzle! It's so awesome, and we have it on the fridge. When the kids just walk by, they put a piece or two together and then they move on. In a few days, we always have a completed puzzle!
This is Natalie opening up the above puzzle, but you can also see she got a photo snow globe! She collects snow globes, so this was super cool to her. There's a picture of Natalie and Grant inside of it.
Then, for whatever reason (alcohol?) we decided to test out one of the MRE's Todd got from work. A "Meal Ready to Eat" is what the poor military has to eat when they are out in the field. Not at a base, but when they are really and truly out fighting or doing whatever they might be doing where they aren't going back to the base (recon?) Final verdict: Well, it wasn't the worst thing I ever ate. It was incredibly salty (and included a salt packet, just in case you didn't get enough!) It certainly wasn't paleo, but my guess is that the troops won't starve.
Then we moved on to more tasty things. CAKE! My sister in law Kathleen makes an awesome cake for Natalie every year. I'm always blown away by her mad baking skillz! This one had flowers and butterflies on it. Natalie decided she wanted a butterfly themed birthday party this year.
Natalie makes this face ALL. THE. TIME. This time, she made it while showing off how messy she got while eating her delicious birthday cake!
Don't forget poor Warren! He got the best gift of all (besides this smooch from his leading lady)... a new computer! Now THAT is a nice gift!
