Happy 80th Birthday to my Grandma Pat

 My Grandmother Pat turned 80 on the 13th of February and had a great party.  Here is a picture of her with her very eager to blow out the candles on the birthday cake great grandkids. I am pretty sure there was no way we were going to get a picture of all the kids looking at the camera at the same time and smiling so this was about as good as it got!

A likely looking bunch, Avery is too cool in those shades to even look at the camera.

Big helpers opening presents!

This girl is getting some cheeks, and chins!

 

Avery can't get enough of her cousin Scarlett!

Cade Turns 4!!

Make a wish!

So hard to believe Cade is 4 years old. He was so excited for his birthday this year and all he wanted was a Buzz Lightyear.
..

Cade, Carter and Chase all had their birthday parties together again this year. We got about 30 helium balloons and the kids thought those were pretty great.

The pinata was also a big hit, everyone got to wack it quite a few times before it finally was cracked open.

Chase however didn't want to give up the pinata so we could hang it up to swing at it. He was pretty sure it was just for him. He turned 2 years old this year.

We had some foam stickers to decorate little barn scenes to keep the kids busy for awhile.

We also had an easter egg type treasure hunt, and cupcake decorating.

Fun with Cousins

Cade and Chase playing in the covered wagon Grandma Dee brought for Cade and Avery. Avery is also in it, if you can see the purple behind the boys that's Avery. Everett was crammed in too but by the time I got my camera he was out and over it.

Chance's birthday party that he didn't sleep through.

I don't remember the occasion here maybe Wynne and Aaron's going away, the house sold party?

Carter seems a little too cool to smile sitting here with the big girls!

Happy Birthday Avery

Avery turned 2 years old on Feb 3rd. We started out the morning with a pink donut and a candle. She got her first present right away and loved her new pink stick horse as well as the princess book her Grandma Dee gave her.

Grandma Pat made the kids a great caterpillar cake.

All the kids out bug hunting. We had a great turn out for the party and I think everyone seemed to have a really good time.

Avery and I.

Cade was so excited about is birthday and the party.

The highlight of the party for a Avery was a draw between getting a baby doll and finding a great mud puddle to splash in.

The birthday kids. Cade turned 3 and Carter is now 4! Hard to believe how fast time flies sometimes.

Jami, Chase and Robert.

Happy 3rd Birthday Cade

In the weeks leadng up to his birthday if you asked Cade what he wanted for his birthday he would quite confidently tell you he was getting a black cowboy hat. So Rance and I looked all over Billings and found him his little heart's desire. Also some Tigger jams cuz he really likes Tigger. He got many other great gift, toys and jammies. A great birthday!

Avery also made out very well. She got several babies, clothes, and a really great lantern.
