Birthdays and April visitors!

Happy Birthday to Maci and Ryder!!!!!!!!

April started exactly how I like it-PARTIES, CAKES and FAMILY (Grandpa and Shelly)!

I got sick last week but luckily by the time Maci's birthday came around I was feeling better. Maci's tea party only turned out great because of all the help from Trav, Shelly, Grandpa and Max.

April Fool's Day Maci turned 6 and enjoyed herself at a birthday tea party with her cute friends!

After they giggled and ate we went outside for a set the table for tea relay, went on an Easter scavenger hunt, and played pin the crown on Maci.

Then it was gift time-YEAH!!!!

As you can see the girls had a big pile on at the end.

Maci was trying to give them all a big THANK YOU hug

Ryder's Birthday!
If you ask Ryder he turned 8 on his birthday and he's stickin with that answer. He did not turn 3, he turned 8! So my 2 year old going on 8 had a very nice birthday. It was laid back. He loved his trains and trucks he got and enjoyed having grandpa and Shelly share in the joy.

Ryder's birthday breakfast-Strawberries, WHIP CREAM, and wheat waffles. I emphasize whip cream because that is the only thing he ate and then said, "That's delicious!" He takes after his mom in loving whip cream.

Ryder opening gifts. If you look closely we wrote 8 all over the wrapping paper.

Aren't we so funny?

After napping we headed to the train park. This is the only request we got from Ryder. He was so happy and excited to be there.

Travis was looking forward to the train park all week long. Its all he could talk about!

We couldn't end the day without blowing out candles. Unfortunately we only had a #6 candle. So Ryder is 3, says he's turning 8 and got a #6 on the cupcake......do you think he might be confused???

After a crazy birthday weekend, a flag football game, and just hangin' out, my Dad and Shelly had to go. It was so nice to have them here. One of the benefits of living away from family is that when they visit we get them all to ourselves! The kids had such a great time. I love the sound of kids laughter when their playing with their grandpa. Thanks for visiting Dad and Shelly!
