Kate Turns 2!

Karen and James invited us over to their beautiful home for Kate's 2nd birthday.  It was a butterfly theme and the children got to play outside on a massive swing set that James constructed for Kate and James for Christmas.  They also grilled out hamburgers and hot dogs.  Thanks for the invite Karen and thanks Kate for sharing your day with us!

Karen got crafty!

The beautiful birthday girl!

A Strawberry Shortcake Named Lucy

We had a great time playing and celebrating Lucy's 2nd birthday.  Lesley has a gift for entertaining and everything was decorated beautifully!  

Happy 2nd birthday Lucy!

Makenna's birthday party

We had the family over for Makenna's 3rd birthday party. We celebrated with pizza, salad, and cake and ice cream.

She got pieces for her doll house, a tutu, a helmet for the bicycle that Uncle Sid bought her for Christmas, and a large play vanity for her bedroom. She also got some miscellaneous Mickey and Minnie Mouse items.

We had a great time watching her in the spotlight. :)

Makenna's 3rd Birthday

We were so fortunate that Papa Chuck was here to celebrate Makenna's birthday with us. We had a small celebration at home because as it turned out, Makenna got sick and was running a fever the day before so we wanted to take it easy on her. We had dinner, opened a few family gifts and then celebrated with cupcakes and ice cream. Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Peyton and Family

Sunday for Peyton's birthday mom, dad, and Denise came over to help celebrate. Peyton asked for a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. He got a new DS and a skate board among other items that he's really excited about. I think he had a very fun birthday....that lasted all weekend long!

Peyton's Birthday Party

Peyton wanted his 7th birthday (yes, he's 7 now!) to be a few friends out at Stevie B's for pizza and arcade games. This place was perfect for games because it was very controllable and small. We had a delicious chocolate and marshmallow dessert pizza to celebrate the big 7. Great friend, food, and fun!

Makenna's 2nd Birthday P-A-R-T-Y

Makenna has been very into Old MacDonald...especially the part about the cow. She sings, "ole de donal had a faum...E-I-E-I-O....Cow cow cow!" So we decided to throw her a farm party with the emphasis being on the cow. We had slider cheeseburgers for dinner along with a cow themed cake and as party favors, we passed out cow tails. It all came together cute, fun, and very playful...just like our 2 year old! Enjoy the slide show!

Makenna's 2nd Birthday

We had a small birthday celebration with Makenna on her birthday. We ate spaghetti with wagon wheel pasta, had cupcakes and let her open her gifts from Papa Chuck and Nana B. She blew out her candle like a champ! I guess she's gotten used to blowing hot food because that candle wasn't anything for this sweet 2 year old!

Happy Birthday Kenna Girl!

Ethan's Birthday Party

Peyton's friend, Ethan had a Tae Kwon Do birthday party yesterday. They were given a lesson about focusing, they got to bust wood, and they even cut the cake with a huge sword! Thanks Tammy and Ethan for inviting us. We had a great time!
