Phillip's Last Lap Around the Ole 20s!

Phillip turned 29 on May 23rd!  To celebrate we had a little family cookout.  It was nice to have everyone here with us instead of traveling.  
Taylor really enjoyed the fruit.  Although, I suppose that's better than killing the chocolate cake beside her.  
We told her to scare the squirrel off of the bird feeder.  She was actually able to sneak up the hot tub platform and do it.  It was quite humorous. 
I completely forget what this is called, but they are the coolest blooms.  They begin as the little pink balls and then when they open they have these deep purple blooms.  
I told Taylor to go find a 4 leaf clover.  Initially, I thought it would take her quite a while.  The kid came back in less than 2 minutes with one.  Ridiculous.  
Phillip's mom, aunt, and niece were all able to make its.  Here's the birthday boy with his mom.  (Thanks for coming up you guys!)
Phillip asked Taylor if she wanted to help blow out his birthday candles.  Instead, Taylor took over the candle extinguishing for him.  It was a very hilarious moment.

My grandparents came too!  This is my precious Grandmother (paternal).  
My parents have a lot of large rocks in their front yard scattered about in the midst of large trees.  Taylor wanted her picture taken on one of the rocks.  Here's said pic.
Phillip's family spent the night.  Here's goofy Taylor the next morning.  She and Uncle Phillip decided to take some of their toys outside to play.
Phillip insisted on getting this plane.  He said he played with these all the time when he was little.  This was, by far, the cheapest, most utilized present he received.  
These two got the plane stuck on our roof.  My oh-so-savvy husband used one of his fishing rods to get it down.  

All in all, it was a wonderfully restful birthday for Phillip.  Thanks to everyone that made it so special!
