What a Party!

Our family has had a month full of fun birthday celebrations! Started off with a knock on the door with a special delivery that Kent accepted. It was an adorable invitation to our friend Malcolm's 1st Birthday! Cookie Monster Theme it seems... mmmm Cookies!!

Cute, cute Party!! Creative and crafty - Loved the details and thought that went into it! Of course there were cookies and lot's of them, but also amazing cookie monster cupcakes with lg. marshmallow's halved for big ol' googley eyes. Served up homemade mac and cheese, a fantastic homemade fabric banner spelling out HAPPY BIRTHDAY, helium balloons for the kiddos to tug on, sesame street music playing in the background, and the best game - a DVD collection of 12 shorts highlighting each month of Malcolm's little life - we had to guess the months. Wade and I were got a whopping 2 out of 12 correct! haha!


Another party we were invited to celebrate was the 29th birthday of friend of ours. Click Bow ties & Pearls to see it. Wowsers!?! what a fabulous time! It was so nice it was like a special for everyone there. And we even left with the "bow gifts" Chelsea is amazing. Kent actually can tolerate his bow tie! He has since worn it the entire duration of church already! His tie doesn't last more than 5 min.

Then of course we celebrated Wades 30th (ultra simple in comparison to Bow ties and pearls) 'twas a jolly good time : )

We went to Wichita to celebrate Helen's 90th Birthday (Phil's Grandmother) It was SO wonderful! She is with it! I hope to be witty like her now! let alone when I'm 90! : ) We first stopped at Wade's mother's home and had some lunch and Kent loved playing with all the toy's she's hung on to over the years. Wade remembers them and what else is neat is that there was good ownership allowed for the children - evidenced by "oh that was John's car" or "that's Neal's" or "this is Kyle's " pretty cool that after 9 children claims on things were made and are still remembered. Then we went to the party! We love Phil's family! Such good people. Of course delicious food and nice to visit with everyone.

So we have a 1 yr old, 29, 30, a 90 year old

And Lloyd celebrated his brithday on the 9th - Happy birthday Bro! Tom and Lloyd (and friends) got to go to Pheniox AZ to watch live March Maddness - awesome!!

And Jayda my niece turned SEVEN! We got to talk on the phone together and she sounded much older and more mature than 7 I tell you!

And Tressa turns THIRTEEN!!! on the 25th! That is amazing! I'll look forward to talking with her on her birthday as well! Oh I love my family. Can't wait to see them again!
