The baby of the family turned five years old this week. Miles John Isbell has brought so much fun and adventure into our family. Carter is very serious and by the book. Miles is always thinking outside the lines and shows much compassion towards others.
Every year I ask the kids if they want a party or a "trip". Last year we went to San Francisco for Miles's birthday. This year, he wanted a Peter Pan birthday. That one came out of nowhere. I thought for sure it was a first. After a quick glance through Pinterest. . . Nope. Totally, a typical party. Not one to completely stick to the norm, I partnered with another mom whose son's birthday falls on the same weekend and we committed to throwing a joint birthday party. I predict that it will be the new fad. Two birthdays on one afternoon. Two moms working together. One party on two budgets. Between texting and Pinterest we hit a homerun. The kids were all invited to "Neverland". My mother in law made Peter Pan hats, I amazoned some Pixie wings, and a party was born.
Every kid from Eileen's, grandparents, and some other family friends all joined together for an afternoon in Neverland. Kids made pixie dust, visited Smee's Tattoo Parlor, walked the Plank, bounced around in Lost Boys' Camp, hit the pinata at Skull Rock, and enjoyed some hot dogs. The two birthday boys had the afternoon of their lives, and the party was wrapped up at 1pm sharp because we had to jet to the 2nd performance of Carter's Talent Show.
On Miles's actual birthday he requested a corndog for dinner from Dotty's. We randomly met up with a few families at dinner and had a great evening. His birthday interview reflects his birthday requests:
What is your name? Miles John Isbell

What do you want to be when you grow up? A policeman, a miner, and a fireman, I mean and a knight.

Last but not least, I'd like to leave you with a video from Carter's talent show production. He got a guitar from Christmas and first started playing in January. Thanks to his Papa, dad, buddies Wyatt and Finn, and some tips from Youtube sensation Marty Schwartz, he rocked it!
