BIRTHDAY PARTYS

After the Ulcer race we decided to have the kids birthday party since my mom and dad would be here.
We went over to exchange park that night and did cake and ice cream.

Cake this year was kind of difficult.  I did a fontant with Melynns and used rice crispy treats for the crown, but hers was easy and she was thrilled with it.  Schaefers I had to make 2 sheet cakes, freeze them, stack them, carve them, freeze them, attempt to frost them because they didn't freeze well.  anyway, it was not very fun but Schaefer seemed to like it and thats all that matters.

This is the cutest picture of total Cheesy smiles.

It was like Christmas for these two!!!  Everyone gave them great gifts and it was so nice.  The kids loved it all.  During all the opening they kept opening and throwing, opening and throwing.  It was really funny, but they really did love everything they got. 

The kids both had such a great birthday.  We have such a great family.  Its so great to know that we have so many people in our lives who love and care about us. 

Schaefer was eyeing this Woody doll in the Disney store for weeks.  Every time we went in there he would say, " Mom how much does this cost?  Do we have that much?"

There was so much to open!  Thank you family!

Melynn finally got to dig into her cake.  I cant tell if she liked it or not.  But who cares right. :)

Renee, Megan, Macy and Kendyl.. just chillin.

More party goers.  Heather, Natalie, and the Grandpas, or "Bampas" as Melynn would say.

The Grandmas and Scott, Amanda and Logan (they werent notified before the picture was taken, hehe)

Everytime we go to that park now Schaefer makes us stop and he points to the tree we were sitting under and says, "MOM!! THATS WHERE MY PARTY WAS!!!"  And then Melynn of course has to agree and make the same statement in her bable language.
