Grandma Bobbie & Grandpa Brad

We were so lucky to have G-ma and G-pa Egbert come and visit. They were able to be here for Detroit's 5th grade graduation and we had a lot of fun with them in town! We sure wish they (or we) lived a lot closer!

The last night they were here I snapped some cute pics of them hanging out with the kiddos.



Helping Detroit "remember" how to ride her bike. Seriously, I thought no one forgot how to do that...
(Sorry kiddo, just kidding! [not really, shhhhh....])


Doing puzzles with Grandma...



Reading with Grandpa...


So lucky to have such an awesome Grandma and Grandpa!



***
We also had a great time at Bottomless Lakes. G-ma/G-pa weren't quite sure if they should believe that there really was a lake...especially after they saw the dust that we fondly call a "yard." But lo and behold, it really does exist!




The water is really cold, but Grandpa was brave enough to get in with the kids. Yay for grandpa!





Brrrrr!!!

Joaquin's Batman Birthday

This year Joaquin decided he wanted a Batman birthday party at our Jazzercise center. We had tons of fun celebrating J's fourth birthday in Superhero style.

The birthday boy in his new Batman attire:



Of course being in the Jazzercise center, we had to dance! The kids played Dance/Freeze to classics like "Who Let the Dogs Out," "The Official Hampster Dance," "Macarena," & you get the idea.

Dance!


Freeze!


The next game was of course a classic...Pin the BAT on the SPOTLIGHT!

Making their bats:


Joaquin was kind of close...



Daddy even gave it a try!


Everyone did a great job! They might have been able to see through the blindfold just a bit...

Of course no party is complete without the Hokey Pokey!




Since our local grocers apparently don't do Batman cakes/cupcakes, my mom and I got a little creative. Bless Grandma's heart...she glued each of these confetti to toothpicks for me. Good thing they were large confetti! Joaquin was very pleased.



Can't have Batman cupcakes without Batman water...



Don't get too close! Lol!



Everyone was VERY aware of Joaquin's obsession with Superheroes, so he made out quite well. Super cool Spider-Man mask, little Thor guys, new Batman towel (personalized with his name no less!), and the list goes on. Thanks everyone for the awesome gifts!





What an awesome Batman birthday!
