Mckenzie turns 2!

I cannot believe that my baby is already 2! Time flies so fast! She has grown up so much in the last couple months! Here she is on the morning of her birthday. We had to start the day with a bath because she was completely soaked when she woke up. So, she looks squeaky clean!
In the afternoon she fell asleep watching a movie with Becca. Too cute!
After she woke up we decorated her cake. I think it turned out just perfect for her!
The girls waiting anxiously for Jason to get home from work so we could open presents and eat cake.
She needed a lot of assistance to blow out her two candles. She blew and blew but couldn't get her aim at the flame.
Opening presents
She squealed with delight but then wasn't sure what the heck this was.
Oh, now she gets it!



She was so excited even though this picture doesn't show it!
Elena and Becca thought her presents were cool too!
Now, before you think that we totally SPOIL our kids on their birthdays, I have to brag that I got everything you see here (plus some you can't see) for a whopping $5 before Christmas last year. I have been storing them this long just for Kenzie's birthday. Deal of the century, I know!
After our little party with just our family, we ate pizza and went to the Homecoming football game. I was much better prepared this time with snacks and drinks. We made it all the way through without being very frustrated. It was a fun day!
Happy Birthday, Mckenzie! We love you!

Camille's Birthday

My birthday was this past month. It was a good day! I got to sleep in and Jason made me breakfast. Since we weren't able to find a babysitter for the kids, Jason stayed home while I went to the temple alone to do a session. I haven't been for awhile and that was what I really wanted for my birthday! It was really nice. That evening we ordered chinese food which was yummy. Then we had a little birthday party. Jason went to an 8th grade football game and I watched a movie. Jason gave me a nice long back massage which was really nice too. So basically, I was spoiled! I was completely surprised by my gift! Here are the pictures opening it. Jason wrapped it inside multiple gifts so it was an adventure to open!
First box open
Next box
I think this is it...
I got a GPS for the car! This has been VERY handy in getting directions to people's houses for shows. I love it!!!
Jason made my cake. Do you get the 3^3 thing? I turned 27 and 3^3 = 27. I thought it was rather clever. Oh, he also baked me an apple pie. I prefer pie over cake. But that didn't stop me from eating 2 pieces of pie and 1 piece of cake. Calories don't count on your birthday!!
This was the actual birthday party

Bringing in the fire...
All the excited kids!
I actually blew them all out with one breath. But I forgot to make a wish!
Happy Birthday to me!

Precious

This was just too precious not to share.

Riding Bikes

This summer, the girls have really enjoyed getting to ride bikes in the driveway. Then we had a lull because we got Elena a bigger bike but it didn't have training wheels on it. I finally bought some and they have ridden almost every day. I caught these cute pictures one afternoon.



Mckenzie and our neighbor Halle (only 10 days apart in age) decided to climb into the bike trailer and I got this precious picture:
Then Becca decided to join them...
Fun girls!
