Emily's Birthday Party With The Family :)

Jason's family came over for dinner to celebrate Emily's 8th birthday. During Emily's party earlier on in the day we asked them not to pop all the balloons to save some for their cousin Matthew. The kids had a real blast popping the remaining balloons!!

Jason brought in the kids picnic table for the kiddies to sit at for dinner. Matthew didn't last long at the table. He wanted to play with the toys!!

Max loved eating his cupcake!!

Uncle Tyler and Jason put on Emily and Tori's Hannah Montana wigs and told her that now she definatley had "The best of both worlds!!" (that is a Hannah Montana song) Emily was so embarassed that her dad and uncle would do something so silly!!

Emily really really wanted a talking globe for her birthday. Jason and I weren't sure about getting it but so far she seems to have a lot of fun playing with it. It has all sorts of games on it that teach the kids (and us big people!) about the earth and what countries there are, their national anthems, the major cities, states, provinces etc...you name it its got it and you learn about it. Apparently her teacher has one just like it so she already knew how to work it. It was a lot of fun for us to see Uncle Bob, Auntie Steph and Matthew!!

Emily's Hannah Montana Birthday Party!

Emily invited some of her school friends over to celebrate her 8th birthday. The girls got Hannah Montana hair and then sang karaoke of Hannah then painted their nails, made some mini pizzas and had some cake and then opened presents.

Emily's Hannah Montana guitar cake made out of cupcakes!

After the girls did the cake and present thing, they went out and jumped on the trampoline. Jason and I blew up 150 balloons the night before and the girls had a blast jumping and popping the balloons. It was a fun time had by everyone!!

Tori's Preschool Trip To the Dairy Farm

Tori holding the chicken!! She loved this part best :)

A group of my friends and I co-op teach preschool for nine kids and today we took them on a field trip to the dairy farm behind our neighborhood. It was nice for the kids to get to see what makes the air "stink" if the wind blows the wrong way!!!
They got to go on a hay ride, feed the goats and horses, pet the rabbits, hold the chicken, play in a hay maze and taste different flavors of milk at the milk bar.
Everyone seemed to have a good time!
Tori especially liked holding the chicken and feeding the goats.

On February 29th we went over to Gram and Grandpa's to celebrate Gram's 14th real birthday. She is a leap year baby and Grandpa got a delicious cake for her! We decided to get Gram a flower arrangement made out of fruit from a company called Incredible Edibles. It sure looked tasty!! When we were there Uncle Tyler brought out his handcuffs from his police training and handcuffed all the kids. Hudson thought it was pretty cool :)
