I Had A Birthday.... Hooray!

Aren't birthday's the best?! ... Well besides the fact that I'm pretty sure I'm at the point that I don't want to get older ha ha.

This year Grandpa Draudt's work summer Lagoon party fell on the day before my birthday so we got to have some fun as a family. Daddy took Brooklyn on a lot of the bigger rides while I took Gavin on the smaller rides so that's why I have more pictures of him. Everyone had lots of fun. Gavin loved all the rides and was a little bummed he was too small for some of the rides. Brooklyn's favorite was Wicked... I still can't believe she's tall enough. We also got to see the awesome Bosque show they had going on.... it was incredible. 

Nice and wet after the "fishy" ride.

 

We all got pretty wet but Grandma and Brooklyn got the worst of it.

Saturday was my work summer party at the Bee's baseball game. We love going to baseball games and we had so much fun. 

Sunday Chris helped the kids decorate a birthday cake for me. Chris did the basic frosting and the writing. Brooklyn did the borders and Gavin did the sprinkles. I think they did a fantastic job. 

 

Thank you to everyone for coming to celebrate my birthday. 

Our last weekend with Brooklyn... I can't believe summer is over. Anyway...We took the kids to one last day at Seven Peaks which was super fun. Gavin was a little nervous about going on the big slide but after we went down the first time he wanted to go again. 

Chris took the kids to the Ninja Turtles movie which they thoroughly enjoyed and came home singing "m-c Mikey". After we delivered the nightmare cake we stopped at Cabelas to see the the fishies and animals. We then stopped to pick up a backpack and some school supplies for the big second grader... wishing I would have take a picture of her with her backpack. Brooklyn is growing and learning so much she still doesn't like to read much but she is getting better and most of the time can sound things out when we make her read haha. I know she is going to do well this year and can't wait to see what she learns.

She chose this outfit because she wanted to look like Mimi.
