Rachel's First Birthday (Take 2)

We were able to have Miss Rachel's big family pool party at Grandpa's house and it was so much fun! It was all Minnie Mouse and pink frosting. So cute and so much fun.

She touched the fire and was not happy about it at all!

Mommy had to show it was safe...

She decided to give it another go

Delicious!

Everyone thought so 

I am so grateful for the family who was able to celebrate with us, and for all the love my baby girl received for her birthday. 

Kaleb's 2nd Birthday Party

So I had a whole Finding Nemo party planned for Kaleb's big #2 (snicker)... then I decided I didn't want to deal with ANYTHING. so I called (emailed) Chuck E. Cheese and my stress dissolved.

We had his Party a week early so Becky and Lincoln could be there. and I'm so glad we did!

Not super into his crown.

more into the light show than the giant rat.

friends from church came to celebrate with us

as long as Chuck E. kept his distance, we were good.

sneaky photo op!

Despite the look on his face, he really did like the music and he LOVED his cake. 

We were so lucky to have so many cool presents and awesome friends.

Shoes from Aunty Becky. YES!

Awesome letter thingy from aunty Becky? DOUBLE YES!

He was really digging on his cars too

Michelle was Kaleb's favorite with a Wreck it Ralph card and a Turtle gift.

after pressies, we played. A LOT. 

Kaleb drove around with S. Little for while
