Birthday highlights


Hero in her off time. She is smiling because I moved Gray but she was almost in tears, frantically trying to block the stairs from Gray. That boy will be lucky if he ever gets near the stairs again with this sister.


Her new dress. Well at least I bought it thinking it was a dress. I was so impressed that she actually fit in the size she is supposed to . It wasn't until after she put it on that I realized it is supposed to be a shirt. Whoops a daisy!


Elle opening a few gifts, so excited and Kate...


not so excited. Its hard not being the birthday girl. All day she told people it was her birthday and she was four.


What did they discover?


Pop rocks! They had a blast! Remember how fun those used to be. And remember every time you had them someone would tell you that someone had died because they drank coke with them (I still don't know if it is true).


This is very typical. Kate is screaming "Gray, NOoooooOOOoo" while everyone else goes on as if nothing is happening (maybe because we hear it all day long).


Isn't he just the cutest thing! I want to hug him and squeeze him all day long!!! A perfect angle I tell you.


Daddy made it just in time to sing Happy Birthday (literally).


Some of fairyland. I would show you more but I kind of feel like a dork.


Enjoying her gifts.


I love little girls!


Did I mention Aunt Ashley came! She is the best and we love her guts and miss her to pieces!


Elle went shopping and got the most delightful thing.


Gray eating a fake phone. That is the last of it. I am sure only Grandparents enjoyed that many photos but really this blog is for them, so sorry to all the rest of you.

That is so cute! I love your fairy decorations.

We used to have to give Mary presents on the twins birthday because she couldn't handle missing out - it was always pretty funny.

This is so cute!! I still can't believe how alike all of the kids look, and of course the fairy land decorations are fantastic, Hannah said.. ohh she got to have a fairy birthday.. that's fancy. You are such a great mom!!

How fun! I don't think that Brad would be too happy about us having a fairy birthday party right now. Maybe someday, but with his gene pool, I doubt it...so I'm spoiling my nieces:)

Your girls are so cute. If I ever have girls, bless them, they will probably have buzz cuts and where the same old boy clothes as their brothers. I won't know what to do. :) So for your pumpkin cookies (they sound so yummy, I can't wait to make them) do you just mix the dry cake mix and the pumpkin and cook? or do you make the cake recipe and then add the pumpkin?

Hi Brooke
I love the fairy party! I wish I could have been there. The kids are all so cute. I was looking at pictures today of Halloween 2006 when Ella Joy and Kate were just babies. We had them laying in the pumpkin patch and they were not too thrilled. Miss you tons. Baby is coming on Monday, December 1! Yeah!!!

She is so cute! I can't believe she is 4! What a cute party. I'm so impressed. I need your creative skills.

Julianne said...

What a fun birthday. You are so creative. I wish you still lived close so we could create together. Your kids are so dang cute. I loved those glassed and the butterfuly wall. Loved it!

Melissa said...

So so cute! Where did you get those cool hanging flower things? I love those.
Katie tried to call Elle, but she had to leave a message. Who knows if you could even understand it. Katie's pretty stoked about her ski friend coming to town. That is, if we can ever get some snow here.
