Birthday cake

Sunday was my birthday. Mom and Dean got me a pretty cake. The older 3 Gs helped put the candles in. G1 even helped me blow the candles out. It was kind of fun to blow out birthday candles for myself. It's been like 6-7 years since I had.

Thanks for the cake, Mom and Dean.

Happy belated birthday Marcia!

I meant to post Happy Birthday to Marcia on Saturday (the 12th) but my mind wasn't working the best (does it ever??).
So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCIAANNE!! We love you!

G1's birthday day

Wednesday was G1's actual birthday. We had cake and ice cream in the morning with Marcia & Jacob (before they had to get back on the train) and Grammy & Poppy. Gavyn got his "big" present from us then; a Spiderman bike. He picked it out quite a while ago and has been asking for it since. He had his first fall in the house (2nd video).
After lunch we headed to Iowa to see Grandma and Grandpa Fairlie (as well as Benjamin, Collin and Matt's Uncle Bub was there as well). We went and saw them at the camper and G1 enjoyed riding his bike out there.
It was another fun (and long) day.

Finishing his cereal (and sneezing into the bowl)

What he looked like after sneezing into his bowl

His cake for the day (not as pretty as his other one, but it was simple)

Oh yes, he got a chainsaw from Grandma and Grandpa Fairlie

Celebrating G1!!

G1 had been looking forward to his birthday for a couple months and was very excited Monday night before going to bed because he knew when he woke up it was his party day. We had a wonderful day at the zoo with Grammy, Uncle Rob, Aunt Katilyn, Lydia, Uncle Jacob, Aunt Marcia, Uncle Ricky, Aunt Ginny and Skyler. After the zoo we went to Chuck E Cheese's and had a lot of fun there as well. It was a great day and G1 loved it.

*I have been in a blogging funk lately--that's why I don't do much "blogging" just mainly pictures/videos. Hopefully I will be out of this funk soon and can really post about what the kids have been up to in more details.

Happy Birthday Bug!!

Today is Gavyn's 3rd birthday!! We had his "party" yesterday at the zoo. I will post pictures and videos from yesterday and today later (probably tomorrow).

Jesse's birthday party

About a million pictures from the party

Okay, so I exaggerated a little-but I am so close it's scary! It was so hard narrowing it down to just this many-so you'll have to deal with them. :-)

The girls' riding a horse--not sure why G3 is so mad

G1 and his new dinosaur

The girls' birthday cake

Cheese, crackers and meat (and Daddy)

G2's "smash cake"

G3's "smash cake"

The pretty birthday girls (they were already pretty tired and we hadn't even started)

The party area

Dirt dessert and the candy favors

G2 blowing out her candle (I was trying to keep her from touching the flame)

G3 blowing out her candle

G2 trying to decide her attack plan

G1 didn't think G3 was attacking her cake well enough, so he decided to help out

G2 picking at the cake trying to not get any cake with her frosting

G2 doing her new favorite habit: picking her nose

G3

G3 trying to get out of her seat

G2 covered in frosting--look at all those teeth

G2 getting ready for Mommy to clean her up

And G2 not liking it

I'm not positive but I'm sure G3 is wondering why she still has a diaper on

One of my new favorite pictures--Daddy cleaning G3 up

Pretty girls-G2 and Aunt Anissa

The girls opening their first presents of the day (from Uncle Jacob and Aunt Marcia)--the sleepers fit them great by the way

G2 thought is was more fun to "ride" the presents than to actually open them

G1 trying on his new sweater from Uncle Ryan and Aunt Anissa

I just liked the face Matt was making (that's G2 beside him)

Skyler (I think he was bored)

Daddy being goofy

Look Aunt Marcia snuck into a picture with G2

Silly Uncle Ryan

The girls' posters after the party

So sweet! Anissa and Ryan

The girls' candy badges (still haven't eaten them yet)
