Brady's 5th Birthday

Happy Birthday Brady!!!! 5 years old, that is a big deal.  He LOVES Star Wars and his birthday reflected it.  His Grandma Taylor made a Melinium (sp?) Falcom cake, and Brady thought it was awesome!

Then off to light saber battles with a dinosaur.

And getting his favorite things, dinosaurs and anything Star Wars related made this boy very happy!

Add in a few friends and family, and this birthday is almost perfect...

adding in The Wilderness water park makes this over the top perfect!!!!  Brady asked to go to the water park for his  5th birthday and the kids, all 5 of them, had a blast!

Rachel on the ropes course, this is not her favorite thing!

But, it was Lindsey's favorite!!

This is more Rachel's style, water and waves!!

And, Zachary had so much fun in the water, that face says it all.

Brady in the waves, with perma-grin on.

Thanks for choosing the water park Brady!!  We all had so much fun.  If only I had a picture of Grandma Marsha coming off the water slide this would be complete, but I missed it!  

Happy Birthday to the sweetest little boy!!  We love you! 

Lindsey's 9th Birthday!

Lindsey started out her birthday with her favorite breakfast, a chocolate doughnut.  Sweets for the sweet!!  She would rather have something like this than anything that looks healthy, I'm not sure how she stays so skinny!

And the most wanted gift was a McKenna doll and all her things.  She is the A. G. girl of the year and just happens to be into gymnastics!  So thanks to all of you that helped Lindsey to get the accessories, outfits and all that came with her.

Having fun with friends!

The birthday cake...gymnastics, of course! 

Thanks to Grandma Taylor that made the perfect cake for this birthday girl.  I don't know how you do it, but I'm thankful you can. 

We love you Lindsey and pray you have a wonderful year of being 9.  We are so proud of the beautiful person you are and we are so blessed by you!  Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Happy Fall!

Making traditional pumpkin face cookies!

 Have you ever seen such a crew?  I'm not sure what Bruce was trying to be, but it got lots of attention!

 My black cat, candy fairy, Darth Vader, and Jedi Knight all had a great time this Halloween!

Rachel and her friend Anna

So beautiful!

The kids, all 5 of them, had fun decorating pumpkins.

 Some pictures on the diamond during our visit with Grandma Marsha.

Zachary's Birthday and other summer fun

Zachary had a wonderful 3rd birthday.  Almost all of his cousins and family was here to celebrate with him, and he had an amazing day.  Unfortunately, this birthday was celebrated with a broken arm.  He broke his left arm after falling (or being pushed) from the ladder to the monkey bars.  It happened just a week prior to his birthday, poor guy.  Needless to say, it didn't slow him down very much.  He still had a great day, and summer!

His awesome cake from Grandma Taylor and Nina.

A red tractor "just like Mr. Worley", his bud!

July 4th with cousin Isabelle.

 Even a broken arm couldn't stop Zachary from throwing knock out punches to Daddy!

Daddy's birthday!!

And, as usual, Zachary out working hard in the yard with his boots and wheelbarrow.  He loves to be outside!!

More Beach Fun!
