Troopers, The ER, and Cake!

We had Caleb's Birthday party last weekend. It was an absolutely fabulous and fun party. Tons of Wonderful family and friends here to celebrate his amazing 5 years on this Earth. Caleb decided he wanted to be Darth Maul, and we were also fortunate enough to have 3 Troopers come to protect the party!

As I said, it was so much fun... until we had to rush Caleb to the ER because he lost all coloration in his face, was clammy, and saying he needed to throw up. We thought it may be a low blood-sugar episode, since he had some a few years ago. We gave him some juice, but he just wasn't coming around like he had in the past. So we packed him up and left in a huge hurry, only to have him make a huge turn-around as soon as we stepped foot in the doors of the ER. Turns out we just needed to give the sugar a little more time to kick in. So, we went back home, ate some cake and enjoyed the rest of the festivities.

Definitely a birthday to remember!

Darth Maul and the Troopers!

Watch out for this Sith Lord, he's pretty tough.

Caleb decided to give the Troopers a tour of the house.

He wanted to show them his weapons.

Next, Caleb wanted to play the Wii with them.

This was about the funniest thing I've ever seen!

Time to defeat the Dark Side... in the form of a Pinata

After the pinata, we decided to have a group photo, but notice the absence of the birthday boy and his parents. We were inside giving him some juice because this is where he took a turn for the worse.

We thought he was coming around enough to take the picture, but after seeing the photo, boy were we wrong. Right after this pic was when we rushed off to the ER.

Someone was kind enough to take a picture of the cake I decorated for him :)

We got back in time for Caleb to enjoy some cake and ice cream. That helped even more with him feeling better.

Happy family! We were so relieved he was OK.

Darth Maul even helped clean up!
