Birthdays Came and Went

Well, it has been a couple of very busy months of birthdays.

To start it off, Caleb turned 1 in April. I cannot believe it. Where did this year go. We started the celebration off with him getting his first haircut.

He was a little fussy at first but once we took the wrap off him, he did much better. Such a handsome little guy. We held a birthday party for him at home that weekend. The theme was Curious George and I made a monkey cake for him.

By the way, he LOVES cake. He had so much fun.
Kimberly enjoyed helping Caleb open his gifts.
Dustin also had a birthday in there as well…but he seems to think he doesn’t need parties anymore. We had dinner at his parents for him.

Next, Kimberly turned 3 this month. We started her birthday weekend off by getting her first haircut as well.

She had so much fun. Then we got to go to Dustin’s work (this is the first time we have been able to go there – other than the lobby) to see Daddy’s office. From there we headed up to Spokane to celebrate both the kids’ birthdays with family and friends there. It was fun. We had a pinata and another monkey cake…the theme – still George. Unfortunately my dad had to work and my mom was sick and didn’t make it but it was nice to see them during our visit.

Last weekend, we had a party for Kimberly here in town. She had a lot of fun. The theme – bet you wouldn’t guess – still George. However, I was monkey caked out so we just had cupcakes. Still a hit though. For the past 3 months now, she has been asking for a basketball hoop. So she was really happy to actually get one…that and the bike she got – I think she was in shock when she saw them both.

Well, the parties are over now. YEAH! It is fun to celebrate for the kids, but when there are so many parties in such a short time, it kinda tires a person out. The latest project (moved from one to the next in a flash) finishing the backyard. We are in the process of weeding, laying landscape fabric, and going to lay bark. It is finally taking shape.
