2 Happy Birthdays!

Bentley shares a birthday with Grandpa McDowell so we headed to Pocatello to celebrate these awesome guys.

I made a Thomas the Train cake.

Blowing out the candle

Bentley was super fun opening his presents.  He was excited about every single one.

Grandma and Grandpa got him a race track.

And Grandpa was just as excited about all of his gifts.

Bentley got Thomas bubbles that we had to try out right away.

Thanks for letting us come celebrate with you, Grandpa!

Ryleigh's Birthday Party

We had Ryleigh's party Friday evening.  I can't believe she is going to be 7 on Monday.  I think this is the biggest jump in age we have experienced., 7 is old!  She invited 3 little friends from school and a friend from church.  I think they had a great time and were worn out by the end.

We started with a canvas painting project.

Finished products

We played some fun games.

Cake and ice cream 

Opening presents 

They also had a blast jumping in the bounce house but I forgot to get pictures of them.

Happy 5th Birthday, Bailey!

Bailey turned 5 on Wednesday.  The babysitter had a happy birthday sign hanging up with balloons when I dropped her off in the morning and then we sang "Happy Birthday" and she blew out some candles on cupcakes when we picked her up.  Jamie is so good to my children.  We love her!

Then we did dinner, Bailey picked Arctic Circle and we opened some fun gifts.

Pillow pet from Uncle Travis' family

A necklace with a "B" on it from Mom and Dad.

A monkey purse from Grandpa and Grandma Larsen.

The Good Dinosaur from Grandpa and Grandma McDowell.

A dress from Hawaii from Aunt Nicole's family.

Rainbow Dash from Ryleigh.

A doll from Mom and Dad.

And this is how Bentley felt about not being able to open any presents or play with any of them.

We had her birthday party on Friday evening.  She wanted a rainbow butterfly cake this year so I made a butterfly out of cupcakes.

Which meant everything had to be butterfly themed. 

Blowing our her candle.

All the kids enjoying the cupcakes.

And they had fun making butterflies to take home. 

Happy Birthday, Bailey!  We love you!

Happy Easter

We had the Goodloes over during Spring Break to decorate cookies.

Bentley tried to eat this one.  He put his sad face on when I told him he couldn't eat the shell.

The Easter Bunny stopped by our house.

Ready for church

The only indication that fall is here is...

Halloween sugar cookies...

and the pumpkin patch!

The girls love the hayride out to the middle of the patch.

Bentley, not so much.  He freaked out when we got back on after we found our pumpkins.

Ryleigh found hers first.

Bailey found hers!

Bentley found his.

Holding on tight to their pumpkins on the hayride back.

We have had a really warm fall this year.  We haven't even put the shorts away.  The forecast this week seems that maybe fall really is here.  I love this time of year!
