The big man on campus

is now 7 years old. He is now officially a 1st grader (gulp) and Bella is officially a kindergartner (double gulp). Since we had a lot of snow days this year he was able to celebrate his birthday (a day early) at school. He got a birthday crown at school and wore it the entire weekend. Morning, noon, and night. It might of accidently gotten buried in the bottom of the recyling can.

We headed out Breese for the weekend and celebrated with the family.

Bern's becoming quite the lego engineer. Brian's got him building us a lego shed in the back yard.

Spider man cake (again). Lots of smoke from all those candles.

Birthday dinner. Starting to run out of room around the table, guess we'll be using a leaf soon. Uncle Jason's feeling a little camera shy.

While the girls hit the pool,

the boys fished.

and they caught some!

Bernard thinks he going to leave the whole removing the fish from the hook thing to Grandpa. Maybe when he's 8 he can handle it.
