Party

The party was a huge success. The kids had a great time and everyone got along great! With Ryan's obsession with cows and needing a gender neutral theme I decided to have a farm party. I am so glad I did because everything turned out great.I asked my friend Jennifer if she could make a farm animal cake for the kids birthday. Well lets just say she went way above and beyond. She made incredible cupcakes, two different cakes and they tasted even better than they looked. I wanted to cry when I saw it all set up because it was so much better than I had envisioned. Thanks Jenn for making the kids day even better. She dropped them off about 9 and the party didn't start until noon, big mistake on my part because Ryan wanted the cupcakes so bad he couldn't wait. It wasn't really fair for me to ask a 3 year old to wait that long! The details on the cupcakes were amazing!This was Megan's Piggy cake. Since we started talking about the party Ryan had said that he was going to be the cow, Christian would be the horse and Megan was the pig. I love the way this cake turned out!We started the party with lunch, I was so thankful that is was such a beautiful day, not to hot or windy. It was perfect to enjoy the afternoon in the backyard. We decorated farm animals, and played some fun farm games!Ryan and Megan loved all the gifts and have enjoyed playing with them every day since!We ended the party with cake and ice cream. They kids had a wonderful time and Megan loved being able to eat the cake all by herself!
It was a wonderful day and we are so thankful for everyone that came and celebrated with us!

Lego Race

A couple weeks ago Dan had a week off of work and decided it was time to get the Lego's out. They have been packed in storage bins since we moved. So he started sorting them by color and by type and has spent almost every night since working with them. He has now started to build this massive castle with Christian that is amazing and I can't wait to see what it looks like when it is finished. It has taken him a little longer than expected to finish, Ryan plays with it so he has to rebuild a little everyday. So a couple of weeks ago he decided that it would be fun to let all the kids build their own cars and have a race. They all loved it and it was the perfect Sunday night activity.

Birthday Week

Ryan's Birthday this year was a full week of events. He is still going to have a joint party with Megan on the 1st but he basically got to do everything he wanted the week of his birthday.
**Warning Picture Overload**

Went to Disneyland with SaraWent to Chuck E Cheese to play games! Enjoyed his Free Birthday Scoop from Baskin Robbins!Ate lunch at Chick-Fil-AHad dinner at Outback (ok so maybe this was his Dad's favorite but he didn't seem to mind)!Lastly, he got to open some family gifts. The two presents below were from Aunt Erin and Nana Rogers and the funny thing about them is that they live in two different states and mailed them completely separate but the wrapping and cards look exact. Sweatshirt from Nana that he totally loves!
