a baby boy was born 6 years ago. The Jedi Council named him KJ, and he was strong with force. In the years that followed his birth, young KJ has been learning the powers of the Jedi. Now the galaxy is in turmoil because the Sith have learned of the boy and seek him. To overcome this threat, KJ will need the help of others- so a call is being sent out for brave younglings to come and learn the ways of the Force. Rhodes family and friends, you have been chosen to join forces with padawan KJ and the Jedi order to stop the evil Sith! These new Jedi must be trained. The Jedi training will be disguised as a b-day party so the Sith will hopefully not learn of our plans.

has been total chill at our home…including the weather, at times.

in the past nine days we visited a few parks, an arcade, went to a couple of movies, ate out a few times {including the new “five guys burger & fries,} the kids have had non-stop play dates and sleepovers with friends, we’ve cleaned-cleaned-cleaned for spring, and I still had school {boo.}

Myla and her friend boston have taken up a new neighborhood past time of “dumpster diving.” They also went fishing at night with headlamps, the girl was in heaven!

Kiana finished a couple novels, and slept in till 1pm nearly every afternoon. she also spent a good few hours playing this with Eli and Ethan-

KJ logged at least 100 hours on the x-box 360.

after a weeks worth of festivities…parties, cupcakes, cake, special meals, and gifts…totally how I believe every birthday should be celebrated: a few days of complete spoiling! our baby girl is really eleven years old today…

Kiana chose Sammy’s for lunch and Tepanyaki’s for dinner. We had birthday cake {from the sweet tooth fairy} and gifts from the family.

After dinner Kiana, Eli, and Ethan went to see “Mall Cop,” while Danny, Dusty, and I went to see “TAKEN.” wow. wow. wow.
could Liam Neeson be any more sexy fighting to get his daughter back? I mean,

today is danny’s birthday!

we celebrated with sushi at happy sumo and a movie…slumdog millionaire deserves every academy award it won. we all loved it.

the cutest, most genuine, incredible kid-actors, great plot, completely moving. LOVE the Bollywood influence!

Dusty finished the book a couple weeks ago and insists that if you read it before OR after the movie, they both have their own thing going for them and you should definitely enjoy both.

we have a new post-movie tradition…starbucks!happy birthday!
you are, and have always been a dear, loyal, and treasured friend.
what on earth would we do without the howell boys?!?

kiana and twenty-five of her girlfriends, plus the howell boys, and family totaling about thirty-five people celebrated pre-teen style for her 11th birthday…

the invitations-i ordered these movie ticket invitations here, and i think they have a good selection of things for the older-kid-crowd.

the party-

“Confessions of a shopaholic!”it was Sooooo cute!
we had nearly half of the theater filled with our group, a few popcorn fights broke-out…when someone was kissing they would clap and cheer! They would yell “woot-woo!” at all the lovey-dovey parts…they were so much fun!
the new cinemark theaters near our home have a party room you can reserve,
