Birthday Girl

This week I have been super busy getting ready for Gabby's birthday and a visit from Scott's family. Gabby really wanted Nana and Papa and Colie and Rustin to come to her birthday party. She wrote them an invitation and they just couldn't say no to that. Carole also came up with her girls.

Gabby's birthday was Friday. We had a special birthday breakfast and Gabby got to open a few presents. She got some princess bubbles for her birthday and she took an hour bath and used ALL her bubbles. Wow, happy birthday bath to her. We went to Chick fil A for birthday lunch. After that Gabby continued to wait for Nana to come. The first group got there around 5:00. We had dinner and then slowly but surely made our way to Pojos for some birthday fun. After that it was time for cake and presents. Gabby had the right idea inviting family for her birthday, she made off like a bandit.

On Saturday we headed to Jerry's for breakfast that has changed ownership and is now called Moon something...anyway it was pretty good but the service wasn't great and it took a long time. After that we headed to Jump Time and the kids had a great time there. We've never been there and it was great fun. After that Scott and Rustin swam with the kids at the hotel. We then had an early dinner at Smash Burger. The rest of the night we hung out and played games and worked on my train puzzle that Greta destroyed Friday night and we started to rebuild Saturday night.

Today we have been hanging around. The kids went to the park with Nicole and Rustin for several hours. It's been very sunny and nice all weekend. Tonight hopefully we will get in a round or two of games and complete some more puzzle pieces. The Cannons are here until tomorrow. It's so fun when they come for a visit.

Piper Quote: "Mom, somebody put my Minnie Mouse in Ned's Head (a game). Me: "Oh ya." P:"Ya maybe it was Corbin." Gabby:"Or baby Ryan." Piper: "Ya, he's trouble."

Corbin did some yard work earning some video game money.

It's the garbage monster! Gross! This boy will not leave the garbage alone. I've been keeping it outside mostly these days.

Ryan loves eating popcorn. The kids latest exciting craze is butter and salt popcorn. Believe it or not I've gotten away with feeding them plain popcorn for years. Now the cats out of the bag and I don't know if we are ever going back. Dang it. So there favorite thing is "salt popcorn" and a movie. Fun times!

I decorated Corbin's classroom for his Valentine Party. I just finished hanging up a bunch of balloons when I remembered that they are banned on campus because some kids is allergic. Oops! I had Corbin smuggle them out the backdoor. He was so nervous he would be caught. Love that kid.

Here is Gabby's cake. She did not like it. She wanted THIS cake but that was impossible. She hated the smell of the cake so while I was making it she stuffed her nose with kleenex. Classic!

Butterfly theme to match the cake that I could actually make. You can't really see it but everything had buttterflys on it. Thank you dollar store.

Birthday girl!

He hated this!

I can't believe she's 5.
