surprise party!

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY APRIL!!!

 We planned a surprise party at Sugarhouse Park to let Aunt April know how much we love her. Ben was so so exited. I had to wait to tell him about the party until the day of, and I still told him a little early because he kept asking all day if it was time for "apee's" party yet.

 Michelle found the most perfect balloons for the party!

 Since Ben has clearly picked Uncle Jason as his very favorite person in the world. Everyone is competing to be Cole's favorite. Kara really, really want to be the favorite!

 Even though Apee was a bit late, Ben finally to to tell her, "Suh-prize! Happy Burt-day!"

 Of course we had to crown Apee as princess for a day! And it had to be pink!

 This is Adri's brand new duck! So cute! He can drink from a bottle! Adri is the best mama duck I know.

 Oh Sally. She is so grown up! She is turning 8 this year!! How can this be?

 Calvin has a thing for cupcakes. I like to think that he prefers my cupcakes. The last couple family gatherings we have had he has swiped one while mom and dad were distracted! So funny to turn around and find Calvin stuffing his face as fast as he can!

 Cole was content with his graham cracker, but he didn't know there were cupcakes.

 This is Cousin Lisa and two of her beautiful children, Parker and Katie. Ben kept thinking all the Balfour girls were Aunt April. Whenver one of them arrived at the party he would yell,"Apee is here!" They all look alike. He was so so confused.

 Great Grandma Fowler. 92 and still going strong. She always looks so cute.

 Best buddies Weston and Ben. They have finally decided that they like each other! Check out the hand hold! It is so fun that they are to the age where they can play with each other.

Of course they fight for time with Uncle Jason, but that is just because he is awesome and they can't get enough. Jason took them to go feed the ducks.

 Good thing Jason comes with big muscles !
