Kyle's Birthday and Mother's Day

We got to celebrate this cutie's 5th birthday on Mother's Day. 

He received one last present from Mom and Dad. 

We went to church and then to Babe's for lunch for Mother's Day. It was fun celebrating both of us together!

Karis made mac n cheese for dinner so I didn't have to cook!

Happy 5th Birthday Kyle!

Kyle got to celebrate his birthday at school. 

He brought truck cookies to share with his friends. 

On Saturday, he had a party at the park. 

He just wanted to invite his three best buds. Elliott and Grahm from school:

And Joey!

It was a fire and police themed party. 

The weather couldn't have been better and the kids had snacks and just played. It was perfect! 

Kyle got a huge set of fancy sidewalk chalk and the girls quickly took to them. 

He also got a motorized police car that moved and made lots of noise. They played with it around the park and Kyle made some new friends along the way!

Happy Birthday Makena!

Makena wrote a list of all the things she wanted to do for her birthday.

We started the morning with donuts and presents from the family.

While Karis was at soccer camp, she went shopping with Mommy to spend some birthday money. We went to Michael's for Beanie Boos, Barnes & Noble for two Star Wars books, and then Toys R Us for a small Lego set. Our last stop was the grocery store to pick out ice cream for dessert. 

After lunch we went to Going Bonkers -- a slight change from her list. 

After the kids were done running, climbing and sliding, we went to Sonic. The kids love the corndogs and they love eating in the car!

When we got home, we had dessert and then Karis and Daddy had to go to soccer practice. Makena and Kyle stayed home and watched a movie. We hit everything on her list! It was a full, fun day and she loved it!

The next day, our friends from small group surprised us with some cupcakes for the birthday girl!

Celebrating Makena's Birthday with Friends

Makena's birthday is during Spring Break so she celebrated her birthday early at school. She chose a Shopkins Kooky Cookie to share with her friends.

 

The next day, we had a Shopkins birthday party for her at the house. 

  

Makena wanted to decorate her own cupcake. 

Daddy tried to eat all her toppings off her cupcake, but she successfully fought him off. 

A lot of her friends could not come because of Spring Break, but she still had fun with this small bunch of sweet friends.
