Birthday Celebration @ Hunts

Another Happy Birthday Party for Daddy! An afternoon up at Bop & Grams was a fun day...Peek-a-boo....I see you!Hailey & Daddy FINALLY got to go REAL fishing! And they started catching things with the Princess Rod almost immediately!!!First fish...a baby bass!Hailey told Gram her fish was "THIS BIG" and held her arms out as big as they could get. True fisherman in the making!
This is what it looked like MOST of the time...Daddy fishing with the Princess Rod & Hailey watching....that's her little head and feet poking off the chair! :-)But she was quick to jump up and take credit when something was caught!!!Tyler enjoyed watching too....But more importantly...FOOD....he LOVED roasting marshmallows!!!!!Careful...it's hot!!No words are necessary to describe the trail of pictures to follow.....
Was it good Ty?? Go ahead, just wipe it on your shirt! That a boy! He's truly the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy

Daddy's 29th Birthday!!! His last year in his 20s. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!

I took the kids to Dick's Sporting Goods to pick out Shawn's birthday gift from them. They aren't quite old enough to be very helpful. Hailey said Daddy needs a new hat (Like he needs a hole in the head) "Great idea, Hailey!" I say so not to shut down her idea. So we picked out a new Redskins hat for Daddy, and I asked the kids if they wanted to get hats to MATCH Daddy...Tyler loved the idea. Hailey did not like the color choices she had to work with. She wanted the "purple one" - RAVENS - so needless to say, we left without a hat for Hailey. I think any Redskins fan would unerstand. Even without a hat, Hailey enjoyed celebrating Daddy's birthday!
By taking pictures of others! This photo was captured by Hailey! It's Tyler jumping on Pappy!

The pictures of everyone else are not very flattering, we'll not share! :-)

Happy Birthday Shawn! We all love you! MUWAH!

Happy Father's Day!!

The kids sang at church on Father's Day....Can you spot Hailey? She's blocked at the moment....She got a little tired, so she decided to have a seat. Such stage presence!

BUBBLES BUBBLES

What is it about bubbles that make them so much fun?Is it that they are fun to chase, but hard to catch?That they pop and squish in your hands? They look so interesting....but yet so complex?
So delicate that you must handle them soooo gently....It's so exciting when you get a whole stream of bubbles to come out....And then the sun hits them just right and they put off beautiful rainbow colors...
Bottom line, Bubbles are COOL!!!

Aiden's Pirate Party

After leaving Garret's Party, we headed directly over to Aiden's Pirate Party. We were a little late, but not to late to enjoy dressing up like pirates! ARG!What a neat thing, to dress up like pirates and make special crafts. Happy Birthday Aiden!Even Tyler got to enjoy making crafts. This group of kids were all from Hailey & Tyler's daycare - which is also a great group of kids. Hailey loves all her friends so dearly, that we were not able to "pick" between the two parties, so we made a way to come to both of them. Long FUN day!

Garret's Birthday Party

Chickberry Farms is an awesome place for a birthday party! Garret turned 3 and had a farm party! YEE HA! What a great time!Waiting in line to ride the "horsey"Using "teamwork" to pull a bail of hay.Tyler is having a great time!!!Ty Ty and Blakey Boy - Best Buds!Several picks of the kids as animals....If you look closely you might be able to make some of them out! :-)Hailey & Tyler! LOL That is a goat and a sheep.....Shawn actually what side of the anatomy the kids were sticking their heads out of...it is slightly questionable! LOLFeeding the goats! Garret is really enjoying his party!!Feeding Rootbeer & Midnight.Fun with the parachute!Pony race....Looks like Mr. Aaron & Ms. Lauren are not setting very good examples to the kiddies! HAY FIGHT!!!!Pinata time! Time to go after the candy!Yummy...time for cake!Garret - "Thanks for my party, Dad!" This guy is surrounded by girls! Watchout! (Dad is so proud)I am so grateful for the wonderful friends we have and that all of our children are in close age range and have so much fun together! I can't wait to watch them grow together! All of these children are truly blessings to my life.
