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!

Jared and Tiesha have been married for 17 1/2 wonderful years. Jared thinks Tiesha is awesome and incredibly funny. They have three great kids and live in ROSWELL, New Mexico.

Jared has opened his own law practice (Kallunki Law, P.C.), and is extremely busy!!! He does a little bit of everything, but mostly family law and criminal law. Tiesha is a Reading Coach at Washington Avenue Elementary and gets to work with the K-3 teachers and students. She loves her job! In her few moments of spare time, she is a Jazzercise instructor. She spends her spare time thinking about updating her family blog and looking at her poster of Edward (it never gets old!).

Detroit is ELEVEN years old, and getting ready to finish the fifth grade. She still loves to read more than anything. She also enjoys tuning out her parents and her brother when she reads. She is a great big sister, and loves teaching Joaquin how to howl, growl and snarl. She is especially good at making Joaquin laugh and smile, and sometimes she will even let him hold her toys. She enjoys playing basketball and soccer and going to Girl Scouts. Detroit has a very kind heart, and lots of great friends. She is still obsessed with animals and enjoys pretending to be a dog (or a wolf, or a coyote).

We found Lunchie while living in Tuscaloosa. She was a kitten trapped in a deep window well on the University of Alabama campus. I brought her home and Detroit (who was then 3) named her. She is a wonderful, but weird, kitty. Lucky for her that she has nine lives since she has already used some of them (head stuck in between chair slats, jumping on the stove while it was on, getting stuck in a room for four days with no food or water, leaping off a second story balcony and hitting tile, eating lots of fake plants until they all created a giant plastic ball in her tummy...), but she seems to be learning her lesson. (We hope.) Her favorite thing to do is follow Tiesha around the house, and flop on the floor the second Tiesha looks at her.
