Jordan's 8th Birthday party

This year I kept things a lot easier for Jordan's birthday!

We invited all his friends to Jump around fun zone!

It is a place full of bouncy houses to play on!

We let the kids play for an hour and half.

They went non stop the whole time!

Afterwards we had snacks including cake pops!

Then it was time for presents and pick up!

Jordan had a blast!

week long birthday celebration!

On Tuesday we celebrated Michelle turning 13!

I LOVE birthdays including my own and love making the day

as special as I can. Michelle requested apple fritters for breakfast.

The night before I picked some up along with a ton of balloons.

In the morning I told her a quick Happy birthday before she left for school.

Later that day I picked Ezzy and we delivered subway along with the balloons.

I decided that balloons needed more so on the way we quick grabbed candy

to tie on each balloon. We also grabbed chips, pop and cookies to go with her

sub! When we got to school I set Ezzy up on the table with the balloons.

One her friends came in and saw us and told we should move to the table where

they always sit and she would distract Michelle. We got positioned right before

she walked in. Her friends were super sweet and loved the baby! They all sang Happy 

Birthday to her in the cafeteria. We didn't stay to long but we went by her core classroom

to grab balloons and flowers other friends had brought her.

After school she had two friends over to hang out I took them to Edaleen for ice cream.

I also made her reenact her eating an apple fritter and blowing out candles.

Later we met Josh at Dickie's for dinner before she went to bones at church and Josh
to softball. Her birthday present the past few years has been a shopping trip with me.
I did buy her a few goodies and gift cards so she had something open on her birthday.

Friday night she had friends over for pizza and then I drove them down to Arlington to Absolute Air.
It is an indoor trampoline place. On the way home we got blizzards and called it a night.

Saturday afternoon after the parade and Jordan's baseball BBQ we headed out shopping.

We went to wal-mart, Ross and then the mall. She ended up with clothes, stuff from bath and body

works and a long board! She has been wanting a long board for a long time. Apparently she is tired of

walking and thought it would be fun to have for the summer to ride with her friends!

I still need to get some pictures of her riding it. I am sure there will be a photo session

of that soon!

Birthday day

My birthday last Friday was a busy typical day.

I am thankful I got to have a weekend away in Leavenworth.

Friday is my busiest day with all of the kiddos I watch here.

We filled the day with crafting, playing and I even let them watch

a Leap frog movie! After school Michelle made my cupcakes

and I decorated them. After all the kiddos got picked up

I headed to Jordan's school to help set and run family bingo night!

This is where my camera batter died. The rest of the evenings pictures

are on my phone and Michelle's camera.

Even though it was busy I got to end the day with the family 

and decorate the tree. I couldn't ask for a better ending.
