The Birthday Bash was a Success!

We did it all... games, swimming, a pinata that was hand made by Minerva (imagine Akins face - food that falls from the sky), presents, cake and ice cream, candles and ended with a shootout with Suzi! Then he wanted to sleep in his Spider Man tunnel fort and so he did until about 3:30am when he ended up in bed with us!

The Spiderman Cake

Attempting to blow out the candles with the noise maker. New concept had to get the hang of it!

The gift frenzy!

Putting money in the piggy bear from Uncle Del and Aunt Sondie.

More gift frenzy. Aidan is thinking these are just about my size. "Are these mine Akins"?

Erin's girls wanted to swim - brrrrrr. Even little Owen thought he might give it a try, but Mom wasn't having any of it.

Games - Seth, Akins and Aidan shooting a game of 9 ball- hey where are the pool cues? Harrison and Laken playing foosball.

Mike palying T-ball with Laken and Harrison

Grubbin' with Grandma and Erin

Chillin' with Momma Lorea.

Up it goes!

First good whack!

After all the kids had a least one whack at it!

The fatal blow!

Grab bags!

The war begins.

I got you Suzi!

Hey no fair I'm losing my holster.

Shelby;
This is such a hard situation and one that is way too common in Liberia. Thanks for sharing. I know G&K each have something very special inside them.

Happy Birthday Akins.
Love, Abegail and E-man
