Jacob Post's FOURTH BIRTHDAY!
Jake wanted to celebrate his birthday (a) with Heidi (b) swimming and (c) eating "tiny lobsters" (shrimp). Well, all his birthday dreams came true when the Postums arrived Saturday afternoon from Helena Handbasket with Uncle Michael in tow (visiting from Provo). We all packed up and went to Chico (where I took pictures and herded children and did not swim). We headed home around 5pm and made Jake's yummy requested dinner (Amie and I made a twist on our family's favorite "sweet & sour shrimp"-- to the pineapple, bell pepper, sauce, and shrimp we added asparagus and green onions, and man, it was delicious!) Jake was thrilled about the tiny lobsters.

After dinner, we of course had the birthday cake! It was delicious and a huge hit with the kids.
Sam, Addie, and Jacob dive in to the cake!
Addie loves to eat noodles and shrimp!
James loved all the excitement, AND having some boys over to play with.
MMMM, Jake likes cake!
Heidi and Sam like cake, too!
Aunt Amie bought Heidi her very own ballet outfit,
complete with LEGWARMERS! It was adorable!
She loves it and even wanted to sleep in it!

The Postums and Uncle Michael spent the night with us, so after we got the kids to sleep, we watched Redneck Weddings and played Moods and Yahtzee. Moods was really fun and Yahtzee was painfully boring--did you ever play a Yahtzee game where NOTHING good happened for ANYONE and the scores were really low? It's not very fun. In the morning, Michael had to head back to Utah, but the Postums came to church with us and then we had DELICIOUS lettuce wraps. They got packed up and left, and we took long naps. It was a great weekend and we wish they lived closer! (Amie & Matt have the Chico pix, so look for those on their blog).
