Brody's Birthday Party

Another week, another birthday party. This time it was for Brody, son of our friends Wes and Kelly. This was also the first full day my dad was with us as part of a week and a half long visit so you may see him in quite a few of the pictures over the next couple of days.

Going against the whole "saving the best for last" mindset, I've decided to start off with the best thing I got with the camera, a short video with Lucas and Kayden, daughter of Brigitte and Casey. Kayden is slightly younger than Lucas, born about 2 weeks later than him on July 1. I happened to be taking a video of the two of them playing with the gift wrappings on the floor when they did something that was both surprising and hilarious. I don't want to give it away, but watch for it at about the 8 second mark in the following video.



Awesome, huh? They're totally hooking up when they are older. :)

This picture of Lucas and Brody is pretty funny too. It kind of looks like Brody is tormenting Lucas, based on their facial expressions, but I think Lucas was upset about something else entirely. Whatever the case, it was a fleeting feeling as none of the other photos taken at the window had him looking upset in the slightest.


Great photo of Marilu, but not so much for our little stoner.


I've found that when the kids get their first cake at these parties, they tear into it, and it's a messy, fun affair. In Brody's case, he seemed almost horrified by the experience. You can see here that he's not feeling too good about what just happened. For the rest of us, it was comedy gold.


Here we see the little man trying out the gift that we bought Brody, a big truck of some sort with lots of blocks inside.


Playing with the wrapping paper was likely the highlight of the party for all the under 2s.


Back with Brody, Kayden, and Lucas were only a month or two old, the three dads took a picture with the kids which can be seen here. Two months later, we took another similarly-themed picture though the dad-less one came our better (see here). Since it's been about 7 months since then, it only seemed appropriate to update with another Dads and tots photo. Thanks to Wes's overproductive loins, you'll notice he's carrying a brand new baby, in addition to the original.


My, how times have changed, huh? That's all for tonight, folks!
