Bryce's Birthday Party!

We were glad to be healthy and back to our normal routines this week!  It's sure a lot of work to be gone from work!

 

This weekend we headed to Iowa for Bryce's birthday party with our family.  Everyone there has been sick or is sick so we knew it might be a slim crowd.  But no worries, they were still able to eat lots of food!  :o)

 

Bryce and his gifts

Blinking when it popped up!  He loves, loves, loves jack in the boxes!  In fact, ours broke we used it so much!

I get to pretend I'm driving!  Yay!

That darn tongue, always out!

Every Baker boy needs a 4-wheeler!

No engine sounds?  I'll make them myself!

Really getting into it!  And he could even make it go!

He didn't exactly like Corbyn trying to hitch a ride...

Elephant that shoots out balls...here he's blinking as he anticipates them coming out!

Putting a ball in...

Cake time!  Looking around as everyone sings...and wanting to touch that candle so bad!

 I don't really know if he actually touched the candle...or if everyone screaming "Oh!" when we thought he did made him cry...but this was the end for him.  He really disappointed on the smash cake...wanted NOTHING to do with it!  We tried!

Just get me out of here!

This makes it all better!

And as everyone ate cupcakes and ice cream...

Brent completed his hairy look with the infamous hat that Matt decided to get out and scare Bryce with!  Seriously!  He hated it!

In a couple of weeks, Zane will be competing in the Pinewood Derby.  Matt has been spending lots of time researching for this father/son parent project.  Just kidding!  But he really has spent a lot of time getting ready for this!  We headed to my mom and dad's on Sunday to use dad's band saw.  I went along to take pictures.

Measuring...precisely!

Cutting it out.

Matt let him cut!  Oh wait, it was a scrap piece...

Thanks to everyone who came to help Bryce celebrate his birthday!  He's a lucky little guy to have so many, near and far, that love him so much!

Cuddled in...ready to head south!  Mason lasted to the highway, Zane and Bryce not too much after that!
