Ayden's Ballerina Party

Ayden turned 3 years old last week so we got to celebrate tonight

in ballerina style.

All the little girls had on their tutu's - even Hadley had tutu ruffles.

Gracie thought tutu's were a marvelous idea.

Coen wasn't really into the ballerina theme.

Nor was Spencer.

Somehow Jackson escaped my camera but he was all boy

and no tutu as well.

Ayden blowing out her candles.

And then the yummy part of eating cupcakes -

the only thing maybe better was

opening all her presents -

and guess what she got a lot of - tutus!

Jessie loved that because that's all Ayden wants to wear these days.

Happy Birthday Ayden - love you!

I'm tired of summer heat - I'm ready for Fall!

Jen's Birthday

I messed up the pictures of Jen's birthday celebration

this year because I had been playing with the settings

of my camera and didn't think to check and reset them.

I have some artsy pics- but not what I was looking for.

Therefore, we have pics of Jen from old birthdays

This (in honor of Hadley) is Jen's 1st Birthday.

This (in honor of Coen) is Jen's 3rd Birthday.

And this (in honor of Spencer) is Jen's 7th Birthday -

I know he's only 6 but he's so anxious to be 7!

OK - the truth is her 6th birthday didn't have very good pics.

And this is just for fun because we were telling Spencer about her

Umbrella Hat.

Her actual birthday is not for a few more days -

maybe I'll remember to get a current picture.

Happy Birthday

to my favorite oldest daughter

Love you always Jenny!
