Happy 5th Birthday Luke & Noah!

My Hardy boys discovered a new love this year. Our home has been obsessed with galaxies far, far away  for quite a while now. Noah and Luke had a Star Wars birthday party with their Smith cousins a few days early to celebrate turning 5. Luke woke up and asked if it was his fake birthday that day.

 

Anna, Sophie, Lukie Vader , Issac, Eli Vader, Olivia, Grace, Noah and Keenyn.

After constructing a Jedi training course with Jason, Chris became General Grievious with a few of Heather's arms. Serious skills were demonstrated.

A new Smith favorite was discovered this trip. Emilee taught us reverse charades and the kids loved it. Here is Luke and Joel as Storm Troopers battling Leah and Queen Amidala. The girls look like they are doing a good job convincing Keenyn that they mean business.

We also had a birthday party to celebrate with the Hardys. Jayden turned 14 on Jan. 1st so he and Luke and Noah shared a cake, pizza and a bowling lane.

 Noah was determined to bowl all by himself. He did pretty well too. After we were done he asked me if he could be on a bowling team "Because I know how to do it and I am good."

 

I think eating the pizza was as much fun to Luke as bowling.

How grateful I am for my boys. They make me laugh, and cry and teach me so much. Our lives are better because they are a part of our family.

My Noah. This boy has an incredible imagination. He still dresses up and plays imaginary games daily. He cracks us up with his jokes that are completely nonsensical and just from being silly. His laugh is contagious and he can get everyone going pretty easily. Noah is so loving, he give loves, hugs and kisses freely to Jason and I. He loves to play with his friends and pester/play with our dog Molly. How things work fascinates Noah and he can figure out mechanics beyond his years. He is a blessing in our home.

My Luke. What a boy. I can't believe the grown up things that come out of his mouth. He loves to read books and play video games. Luke's bed is decorated with Yoda, Mr. Fishy, Fluffy and other special friends. Every trip Luke crams his backpack full of stuffed animals because he needs them all. This year Luke has discovered a love for sports. He is aggressive and tenacious on the soccer field and basketball court and a really good sport to boot. He also has some pretty serious dancing skills. He is a blessing to our family.
