Birthday Bash!

May 12th was Big Boy's 5th birthday! And all that he wanted
was a "police car cake" and a police car toy...

Little did he know that he has the coolest parents IN THE WORLD
and not only could we provide his little desires, but we were able
to schedule a meeting with an actual POLICE OFFICER & his real
life POLICE CAR!!!!

Let's just say Big Boy was a wee bit excited :)

We had a fab time of having the family over for sweet pork salad
and yummy chocolate cake and ice cream. And it was a beautiful
day - which is never a given in Idaho, so that was a bonus!

Here are some pics of the big event, and even my sweet pork
recipe in case you need a yummy new crock pot fave!!

So Excited!!
The new "ninja" toy! A wee bit scary :)
