Keenan's Birthday Party!

Well, a week after a super fun birthday at Disney, Keenan celebrated with friends at a nearby park for his "superhero, transformers, Star Wars'' party! That's what the cake says..."Happy Birthday to our Superhero, Transformers, Star Wars fan!" We couldn't make him decide on which character was his favorite! Really, he is "into" so many cool boy things...but AJ plays right along! Anyway, he had so much fun on the hottest, craziest day at the park. Don wasn't feeling great, Darien was major fussy and I felt as unorganized as I have ever been! But, alas, he didn't have a clue that poor his poor mamma felt out of her mind in the heat and stress! He had a blast and so did all his buddies. We had such a great turnout of his neighborhood friends and preschool buddies! Favorite toys that he opened at the park ( not in my plan...but he wasn't going to be persuaded otherwise!) were Bumblebee, Bakugan, and a book about Dex the Superhero Dog. And of course he got some great cars from his Pre-school girlfriend and a major favorite superhero shirt from the first little friend he made when we moved here! Keenan is so blessed and we were as well by the parents who braved the heat and the crazy valet parking that silly private school had for their event on the same day as our party...(you had to be there, but it was just so funny!) Keenan was celebrated well this year...this kid will not ever have the middle child syndrome, if we can help it! We are doing everything we can to make sure he feels super duper loved! PS...Kudos to my friend Jen who took these photos since I was so totally out of it that day! I would have just cried had she and her family not showed up just in time to get all the photos and videos of opening presents since Darien wouldn't let me out of his sight for a second!

A whole sheet of cake...we Lawrence's...we like our cake!

Daddy, I really just like giving only Mommy
a hard time...ugh!

Keenan and Jen's son Justus...a sweet family we are bonded with from our church...we are like sisters and our kids are like cousins!
A happier boy there could not have been that day!

Keenan and his big brother neighbor boy named Kyle!

A rare portrait of just the three of us! So glad Jen captured this!

wanted while buddy Austin looks on!
