Mustache Party!

 Last week-ish, I went to my mailbox and there was a thick envelope with Chinese writing all over it. I order a lot of free samples and so we get a lot of strange envelopes and boxes, so I thought maybe this was something crazy I'd requested 4-6 weeks ago? 

Nope- not a free sample- it was even better!  It was our very own mustache party from our very own Uncle Jeff in Japan!  He randomly decided to send some to us and we have had SO much fun!  The girls beg us to have a mustache party every night.

Thanks Uncle Jeff! (oh, and tiaras and mustaches TOTALLY go together...)

Happy Birthday Uncle Jeff!

Not too long ago, we had a birthday party for Uncle Jeff. I can't believe my baby brother is all grown up and turning 11! Brad and Jeff were making fun of the 11 candles I put on his cake- in my defense I only had 11 of that particular type that matched. Besides, if I had put all the candles I was supposed to, it would have burned down the house!

The cake was a strawberry jello poke cake with an awesome and easy whipped cream and pudding topping. Birdy was scornful of my efforts though because apparently strawberry cakes aren't "boy cakes". Jeff didn't seem to mind :)

After our burger and grilled potato dinner, we had a loud, funny game of Pirate Life. It was fitting that Jeff won, I guess.

Happy Birthday Jeff!

We Love Uncle That Guy

We were lucky enough to have Uncle Jeff come visit for a bit earlier last week. He can't move to Provo soon enough- maybe the girls will finally figure out who he is! EJ wanted him to get off the phone and come play with her. I said "Go to him and give him puppy dog eyes and say "Uncle Jeff, don't you love me?" she goes up to him with the big eyes and says "Uncle Brad...". We had to correct her a zillion times- it was pretty funny (to me).

This pic is pretty much how the visit went- EJ read her new book to him while Birdy climbed all over him. Then there was much tickling and squishing (as seen above). Brad- you are going to have to step it up a bit when Jeff gets to Provo. It isn't enough just to show up anymore :)
