Super (Mario) Birthday Weekend

This weekend my nephews celebrated turning 1 and 5.

The theme was Super Mario Brothers - so my sister made them a big mushroom and little mushroom birthday cake.

The party was held at this little park with a fishing pond. My dad is the best fisherman in the whole world (love you Dad!) and caught a few big ones.

The youngest one enjoyed a new football. It was quite cold outside - Jeremy had to borrow my sister's "Pride of Oklahoma" jacket. She played flute for the marching band at the University of Oklahoma over a decade ago. She quit after a year because all the other flute players were still wearing kitten sweatshirts (and not in an ironic Flight of the Conchords kind of way) and she was too busy making out with boys. (Sorry Dad!)

Our little blog celebrated it's 1 year birthday on Saturday as well! I found this J + K carved into a table at the park. It was obviously a sign that we were meant to be.

  4. Aura - I love it! That park is so much fun - we used to field trip there when I was in elementary school.

    Mountain Bride - I know! My mom thought I had carved it.

    Angela - I love Bento boxes. If I was a stay-at-home anything I would make bentos everyday.
