Come One Come All

LEVI TRYING TO HURRY MOM OUT THE DOOR TO START THE "BIG PARTY"

LEVI KEPT TRYING TO SNEAK HIS CAKE.  HE WOULD CLIMB ONTO THE COOLER SITTING NEXT TO THE TABLE AND OPEN THE BOX AND SAY, "I WANT MY TRUCK CAKE."  HE THEN CAME BACK FOR SECONDS ONCE HE FINALLY WAS ABLE TO HAVE SOME OF THAT AWESOME TRUCK CAKE.

I HAD MY FRIEND HEIDI MAKE THE CAKES THIS YEAR.  THIS WILL BE THE FIRST YEAR I HAVE NOT MADE KINLEIGH'S CAKE.  WE WERE TOO BUSY PLAYING WITH RUTH AND HER KIDS DURING THE WEEK AND I DIDN'T WANT TO HASSLE TRYING TO MAKE NOT ONE BUT TWO CAKES!  PLUS HEIDI IS TEN TIMES BETTER THEN I AM.  THE CAKES TURNED OUT SO WONDERFUL AND THE KIDS WERE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THEM. 

MINUS TWO TEENAGE GIRLS THAT CAME FOR A 30 MINUTE SWIM... WE HAD THE ENTIRE POOL TO OURSELVES!  AND TO TOP IT OFF IT DIDN'T RAIN!!!  I EXTENDED THE PARTY FROM THE USUAL 10-12 TO 10-1 AND I'M GUESSING EVERYONE HAD FUN BECAUSE WE DIDN'T LEAVE UNTIL AROUND 2:30. 

BRYCE!  (COULD HE GET ANY CUTER?!?) THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE WAIT, BRACE YOURSELF, READY FOR THIS... 48 PEOPLE AT THE PARTY!  EVERY SINGLE PERSON WE INVITED SHOWED UP.  HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!? 

CJ, SAMMI AND KINLEIGH.  THESE THREE GIRLS HAVE BEEN BEST FRIENDS SINCE BIRTH, LITERALLY.  WE HAVE SINCE CHANGED WARDS AND SADLY DON'T SEE EACH OTHER AS MUCH... BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO THESE THREE.  THEY PICK UP RIGHT WHERE THEY LEFT OFF NO MATTER HOW LONG IT IS HAS BEEN.

KINLEIGH, MACKENZIE, AND EMILY  THESE KIDS ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE SO MANY AMAZING FRIENDS!

SINGING HAPPY BIRTHDAY

LEVI CHEERING ABOUT SINGING HAPPY BIRTHDAY.  HE LOVES TO WONDER AROUND THE HOUSE SINGING HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

THE KIDS RECEIVED SOOOOOO MANY AWESOME TOYS.  THEY INSISTED ON GOING HOME AND OPENING THEM ALL.  THANK GOODNESS THEY HAD A FEW FRIENDS COME HOME WITH THEM TO HELP BREAK THEM IN.  THE PARTY JUST REMINDED ME HOW BLESSED WE ARE THAT EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T LIVE BY FAMILY WE HAVE "FAMILY" HERE!
