Myles riding his bike gameMyles got this cute stationary bike that links up to the tv and plays different video games. I figured this was a good way to get some energy out in the winter months! He was so excited to try it!

Today the family got together to celebrate Myles's 5th birthday at Space Aliens. I didn't get a picture of the building, but pulled this off the web site. Didn't quite look like this, but you get the idea. 
Here are the party people! Erik, Jeanne, Bob, Mom (Grandma), Aunt Erica, Uncle Patrick, Myles (and you can't see me or Holly, but we were there!)
Mom and Erica checking out the menu at Space Aliens. They had some funny names for some of the food. All space and alien themed, as you can imagine!
Holly had to have a snack before the food came, so I gave her a granola bar. She then ate 1/2 of her quesadilla, applesauce, apple juice, and 2 pieces of cake. Hope she doesn't get a tummy ache!
Myles picked out a Wall-e cake earlier this week, and they did a great job on it! Very tasty! Myles has liked Wall-e since the minute he saw the movie. And since there was no option for a star wars cake, this one was the next choice.
So after eating and playing games, we sang happy birthday to our big boy! He seemed so happy! Blew out his #5 candle in one breath. Myles managed to eat 2 small pieces of cake. So did Holly, Mommy, Grandma, Jeanne, and Bob. Erik and Erica had one. Patrick didn't want any cake. Weird, I know. We are certain that he isn't related to us.
Me with my 2 siblings - Patrick and Erica. We rarely get a picture of the 3 of us, so I took the opportunity!
Myles could hardly wait to open gifts. He was so happy and I heard him thank people several times. Makes me so proud when I don't have to prompt him to thank people. What a good boy!
Myles digging into another gift! This one is from Aunt Erica - a cool pirate beach towel with some splash balls to play in the pool with. He's gonna love it!
Here are 2 other cool toys that he opened up! The one on the left is from Jeanne and Bob - a star wars transformer. Can it get much cooler than that?! The toy on the right is from the Grandparents - 2 star wars speeders with guys on them. Hours of fun in this picture!
We got a cute picture of Myles and Uncle Patrick. They look like the same height in this picture! So did Myles grow, or is Patrick shrinking??? I hear that happens when you get old.
Wow - a real Alien! Well, if there really are aliens I guess it makes sense that they hang out at the Space Alien's restaurant. Myles was excited to get his picture with this guy. (Is it really a guy??? I guess it is hard to tell, and I didn't exactly ask....).
Space Aliens has a little game section for kids - kinda like Chucky Cheese, but a lot less annoying. Myles kept going back to this candy game. Basic concept - put in 2 coins and use the joy stick to move the mechanical grabber around before dropping it on the candy pile to grab about 5 pieces. You then move it to the drop spot. Amazing! I finally had to cut Myles off so that he didn't stuff his pockets with any more candy.
Myles wanted to ride in this space ship, but after putting in 2 coins it just sat there. Bummer. But he had fun hanging out in it.
Here is a super cute picture of Holly & Daddy. She was so good today at the restaurant.

My 5 year old birthday boy by all his gifts 
Here are the gifts that he got!
We went over to my parents on Super Bowl Sunday to hang out and watch the game. Holly seemed to take a shining to Grandpa, and wanted to sit on his lap. Erik snaped a quick pic and off she went!
Here is a picture of my Mr. Wonderful! Erik and I have been working hard at getting healthy (aka: loosing weight) for Mexico in April and my brother's wedding in May. What a Hottie!
