Andrew's 5th Birthday

Wow, It's hard to believe Andrew is 5 already! He is growing up so fast. He keeps things exciting around here. After going to a birthday party at the jumping shack he decided that was what he wanted for his birthday. Instead of reserving a party I convinced him to have his party at Pizza Hut and then we would just walk into the Wee Bounce, much cheaper. He was ok with that as long as he got to bounce. After we had pizza & cake we went to the Wee Bounce and they had a sign up "No Walk -ins, they were having a private party. I went up and checked and they were going to be opening in about 15 min. so we just blew bubbles outside until they let us in. They had a great time bouncing and were all over the place. Ted had taken Isabelle home because we were afraid she would get trampled but it ended up we were the only ones in there.


Feet first Andrew! I don't know how many times I had to tell him that!

Field day

CHIMES' field day was Tuesday and the kids had a lot of fun. We had great weather, in the past several years it has rained so much that it has been real muddy. Andrew ended up soaking wet when we left because the kids decided to play in the water fountain, I had brought him extra clothes but didn't even think about spare shoes. We had to go buy some since we were headed to the grocery store. Some how I ended up with no pictures of Emilee.


This is the most Mason did all day!

Andrew loved the tire swing.

cake decorating

For Keepers of the Faith today they all practiced decorating their cake with the drop star method. I think Emilee did pretty good for the first time she has ever done a cake. I can say that this is a messy job, mixing up all the icing colors. She and all the girls did a great job. As for the taste test that will be after dinner tonight. Although she didn't bake the cake, the leader baked all of them.

This cake pan was actually a carousel, but she decided to just make it a horse without the pole.

This is just a picture of Belle before church Sunday night, I thought she looked adorable : )
