The party that only had one eye.


One eye, tall and friendly.
Otherwise known as Muno.


Deak had a great birthday party.
We ventured out to our local fun center for bowling with family and Deak's best Chromosome 18 buddy.





The girls (Ab and I...Alisha and Emarie)


I love how Em always is giving Deak a "What in the world are you doing?" look.

Thank goodness for my sister, or I would not have any pictures of anyone but Deak.



We decided Deak would like riding in the race cars, which he did...until a lame giant teenage boy, in true teenage form, decided to ram full speed into the back of Deak and Blair's car.
Now...if he would've apologized...no brawl would've ensued.
But, he LAUGHED!
Really.
Blair was "just a little bit" fired up.
(And maybe me, and maybe my mom too).
In hindsight, we probably should've let it go.
But, when you're holding a screaming, hurt child and someone else thinks it's funny...emotional stability is not a priority.
Deak eventually recovered and I think Blair scared the life out of the six foot tall, ignorant teenager.


Deak and Blair went on the boats to literally and figuratively "cool off."
Deak loved the boats and loved the little boy who chased them around the entire time and sprayed water.
After all the excitement, we headed back to our house for pizza, presents and cupcakes.



Overall...the party was about four hours long.
Not nearly long enough to celebrate the life of the boy who brings more joy into my world than I previously knew possible.
I can't imagine my life without him or his sister; Ring 18 and all.

Those pictures are priceless!! And I want copies of all (even the ones without Em!) Props to your sister for getting such great pictures!!

Thanks again for inviting us, we had such a good time, brawl and all!! :D

Oh, and that look is not a "what the heck" look, it is a look of pure "Aw". I know this, because this look is just reserved for her buddy Deak, she loves him so much, and is so impressed with him!

So that's what a Muno party is! I was wondering when you posted on FB, but I didn't dare venture a lame guess... Love the theme - very crafty!! I wish I could've seen Blair all fired up at that boy:) Looks like a great party!!

When we consider who "rare" a boy Deak is. We are so incredibly blessed to have him in our family. A true miracle and reminder of what is really important in life. I hope I never stop learning from him!
