Alivia's 2nd Birthday

One more week passed and we celebrated Alivia's birthday, two days after her birthday.  She (really me) decided that she wanted a Minnie Mouse party.  The balloons were a flop, but the rest of the decorations weren't.

We had a hot diggity dog meal.

After dinner, we opened presents.  Alivia was thrilled that it was finally her turn to open presents.

After presents, it was time for cake.  

Like the other two, she didn't have a good day on her actual birthday.  She stepped out onto our back deck without shoes on and burned the bottom of her feet.  She probably got 4 or 5 blisters on each foot and she was miserable for a good part of the day. 



Evan's 4th Birthday

One week after we celebrated Audrey's birthday, we celebrated Evan's birthday.  He wanted a Tom & Jerry party.  I wish I had a better picture of his cake because it my favorite birthday cake I have ever made.  I don't know if you can tell from this picture, but it looked like a big cheese wedge. 

Now on to the presents.  Again, Alivia was mad that none of them were for her.  At this point, she only had to wait one more week. 

At the birthday celebration, my sister noticed some spots on Evan's chin and she said she thought they looked like impetigo.  I had thought they were just zits, but we of course took her advice and headed to the doctor the next day on his actual birthday.  After that, we went to the pharmacy to get his prescription because it was of course impetigo.



Audrey's 7th Birthday

For Audrey's 7th birthday she wanted a mermaid party.  I loved making the food and decorations for this party; one of my favorites so far. We celebrated a couple of days before her birthday with dinner, cake, and presents.   

I didn't have very many close up pictures of Audrey.  I thought this one of Alivia was cute, but it wouldn't be her birthday for another 12 days.

Here is Audrey getting ready to blow out the candles.

After dinner and cake, it was time to open the presents.  Alivia kept trying to open all of the presents and she was very upset none of them were for her.  Unfortunately for her, she had to wait two more weeks to celebrate her birthday. 

Two days later, on Audrey's actual birthday, she spent the day like this.  She woke up with a fever and the pukes.  She was very upset she had to miss school too.

It was so sad to watch her spend the day like this. 



The Boys are Out of Town

The first weekend in May, Colby decided to take Evan to St. George.  He had some work down there and his younger brother was graduating from Dixie State.  Well, what are three girls to do when the boys go out of town?  Paint our nails and watch chick flicks of course.  And by chick flicks I mean Barbie and the Diamond Castle and Sleeping Beauty.  It was pretty hard to get a decent picture of the finished nails; this is the best I could get.

Of course we did other fun stuff too like take pictures of ourselves. 

Easter 2012

Here are the two pictures I took last Easter.  I don't have much to say because I don't really remember what happened other than they all found their baskets and such.

Our Lucky Day

Way back on St. Patrick's Day 2012, we were shopping at Harmon's. They had a few games and other things going on.  Audrey was lucky enough to win this huge cupcake and nice enough to share it with us all.

Too bad we purchased the donuts before we won the cupcake.

Pirates of Penzance

When Audrey was in first grade, she participated in the school play The Pirates of Penzance. She didn't have any speaking parts, but she had a lot of fun participating.

I especially liked when she started waving at us during the performance. Unfortunately I didn't get any good pictures though since it was so dark. These were the best I could get. She is looking forward to being in The Wiz this year.
