sound the alarm ...

birthday party pictures!
{better late than never, right?!}

to start the day we had a great visit with Allison, her mom, Madeline and Mary. 
henry and owen met mary for the first time ... and they had a blast.


henry {4}, madeline {4}, mary {6ish weeks}, owen {2} - owen cracks me up in the above pic with his hands behind his head.

... cheese ...

and then on to the party for the boys ... a tour of the fire station for the older ones and then a walk on over {a whole block} to felton little park for sweet treats and play time for all.



the firemen did such a amazing job with the tour ... enjoyed by all and really very informative!








and exploring the truck was tons of fun of course ... and at the very end of the tour, the fire station received a call and they had to pack up and leave.  let me just tell you they were out of there in literally eight seconds.  the kiddos all had priceless expressions on their faces.  impeccable timing!




a few birmingham friends ... allison and her mom.  so great to see you ms. claudia!

robbie and jake
grandmother and owen at the park ... owen was a little too young to hang at the fire station.  thanks to elizabeth and jon for playing with owen at the park until we got there!

 love this pic of owen and allison!  and below, owen finds the sand.
 time for cake!
the weather that day was warm - windy but warm enough for shorts!  the wind did not allow the candles to stay lit for too long ... madeline, cole, and the boys


 enjoying the homemade firetruck cake ... and the deep red icing!  henry wanted a "black cracker" {AKA oreo} wheel.  owen wanted the gum drops.

 and below is henry's sweet friend annie.  he and annie have been classmates for three years and have really been best buds the last two years.

after the party family came back to the house to visit.  owen enjoyed the balloons we brought home.  children always love balloons, don't they?!
and below, john gregory {tricia and brett's youngest son, 8 months} and mary



 the invitation and thank you favors
{firemen hats and firetruck crayons}

 the fire department did such a phenomenal job, the park was great fun, the weather was enjoyable, and the wonderful company made for a truly memorable birthday. 
the whole day was just. plain. incredible.

to the birthday boys!
