Last weekend was Mark's birthday and oh boy did we have fun.
Some gracious relatives loaned us an RV, and in classy fashion-we parked it in our driveway. It was seriously some of the most fun we've had.
The girls totally dug hanging out in it.
We invited some of our besties over to share in the party.
We all loaded up and went to dinner. (Not sure what kind of laws we broke. How is it legal to drive with all sorts of kids and no car seats just because you are in a recreational vehicle? I don't know. But thank you Jesus for protecting us.)
We went to Dave's favorite pizza place in town..below you can see Dave is giddy.
Why use one straw when you can use 5?!
I pretty much think Mark is the cutest thing to ever live. Also cute: the baby eating his sweater.
We brought the girls' jammies and suited them up before we headed home. LOVE this pic of the two firstborn girls taking charge in the cab of the truck!
Reese and mama giggling at Daddy during a fuel stop.
Of course you can't have an RV without a fire and s'mores.
And telling jokes...and stories...and laughing. (And maybe fire jumping but I don't support that, for the record.)
Then the boys got all snuggled up with Meet the Parents on VHS, and we had a girls only slumber party in the house. (with comfy beds)
The next morning we headed out to get cider and donuts. Look at this gorgeous family! Can't wait to see the next member who will be joining us later this spring.
I think it would be safe to say we all had an AMAZING time in the corn boxes.
See?
This is me totally hysterical because I put the truck in reverse, made the beeping sound, and dumped corn all over Christina. I really crack myself up sometimes.
Wheeee!!!
Yikes!
Seems like we got a little confused about who went with who in this shot!
boys!
Our friends got Mark this sweet Netherlands jersey for his birthday. Mark has ridden 100 miles on his bike this week. He is crazy.
The girls partaking in a rousing game of Ring around the Rosey.
Yep. They all fell down.
The next night we took the RV again, but ditched the kids. We went and celebrated some more!
The person who took this picture should definitely keep their day (night) job.
Love these people!
That's probably enough pictures for one post! Happy Birthday to the coolest kid in town. I love you Marky!

LOVE reading all about Mark's birthday and seeing what fun you all had! (Happy Birthday! :)) Can you guys be any cooler or more beautiful?? I don't think it's possible! :)
that looks like so much fun!!! i think i want that birthday too!!
Best birthday weekend ever. I didn't think it was possible to miss your family any more. But I do.
There's so much I can comment on. But, let's talk about clothes and weather. I think it's hilarious that everyone is dressed like it's 2 below, and Mark is ready for summer.
so much fun!! that is a great idea! Chad secretly, well not so secretly any more, wants to live in an rv and travel the country..haha. Maybe I should do this for his birthday to see what it is really like!! :):
What I find entertaining about this (well, there's so much...) is that you are wearing jeans, boots and a puffy vest while Mark is wearing shorts and a polo shirt. What kind of wacky weather are you having?
Hm. Maybe I should have read the other comments before posting the same thing as Katie.
I am still astounded with your creativity of borrowing an RV. Hilarious. All I can think about is "$#%@er is full" Is that inappropriate?
I'm glad the girls got the comfy beds too. You deserve it:)
Driving an RV? Seriously creative, people. And, I did see the fire jumping video. Bravo, Mark!!! Though I must side with Heidi on that one...Maybe you wanna drive that there RV to Colorado???? ;-)
I love everything about this post.
That is so fun! I love how creative y'all are...seriously, share your secrets with me to keeping things fun with lots of little ones! :)
That looked like such a fun birthday celebration!!! (but y'all always look like y'all have fun no matter what!)
