I had a great idea to make a purse cake for Ella...it looked so easy on the internet..
The girls decorated the cupcakes for the big birthday party. Ella was giving her expert advice on how to put the sprinkles on.
This would be the third time I baked a cake in two days (this one from scratch). Being so that my Purse cake didn't make the cut...If you are wondering that is a 7 and an E for Ella. (Grandpa Doug thought it was 78, thanks dad.)
Trying to get everyone for a group picture is next to impossible...
Great! Now where's Drew?...
Of course... he is getting ready to crash in on them.
Tyler and his mom, what a cute moment. I just couldn't pass it up.
The bracelet kit that caused such chaos.
We are so lucky to live by both Grandmas! They are really involved in our kids lives and we wouldn't have it anyother way!!!
Time for some Good 'ol fashioned Red Rover.
Do ya think Ava really broke through or did Drew play Mr. Nice guy again....? Ya see I know he really does love her.
We have the best park and swimming pool ever.
Yummy cup cakes.
This was a fun bunch of kids! Watch out K Town, this is your up and coming Hot shots.
"Who me?" "Of course, Who else?" What a little "ham"
The kids spotted Tyler and they all ran over to him. Drew yelling all the way "I love you dad"
Grandma Hafen joined us at the park for some major party time.
Grandma Carol came to see the kids in action.
Don't laugh...it's not that I like this picture of me. I don't! I just never get to put myself in here.
Time to dry off.
Jaylyn came over to wish Ella a Happy Birthday. Everytime they see eachother they give a Great big hug.
Maya had a ball in the water! That would be Ava in the back swimming laps around the lazy river.
She crawls out until she can not touch anymore and then her bum starts to float up above her head. We may have a few Dara Torres olympic swimmers on our hands.
The birthday party crew.
Ava and her floaties, she thinks she can swim the ocean in these things.
Drew thought that Ella's new vest was a life jacket.
One of Ella's presents was a kit to make friendship bracelets. Ava was upset that we didn't make her one so as soon as Drew came home from church he went right to work.
He even made Ella another one because it was her birthday. Even though he was heart broken that she got an i pod and he didn't.
