Jared's 31st Bday





Amazing how time flies! Insistent that he doesn't have many birthday's left, he wanted a "fancy" cake. And wow was it good! Thank you Kneaders for the few extra pounds. It was very hard to resist. You can see in one of the pictures, he's trying to accommodate picky children lol. Then it was time to open his few presents. One of his favorites was a Nerf gun, "Buzzsaw" that Kylie chose for him. All the kids sure loved playing with it, although its loud winding it up... I won't be looking forward to that when we have a baby in the house again! And finally, he seems to be happy and pleased with his gifts (although I think he liked the cake more than the presents!)

We had a fun time in Yuma, very busy busy the whole weekend.

Sara's 2nd Birthday




Well our little girl turned 2 the beginning of the month! Here are just a few of the pictures from her special day. First, snuggling with her mommy, awwww... she can be SO sweet! Then she's checking out the camera, she loves when Daddy takes pictures of her. Next, her favorite present! She loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Disney Channel, so we got her a small stuffed Mickey and Minnie. Immediately, she was playing with them. And she is SUCH a girl... she was getting them to kiss, going "awwww"!!! Too funny!

And lastly, she just can't wait to blow out those candles and have some cake! I had to keep my hand in between her and the cake while we sang happy birthday. She was yelling at us to stop the whole time, just wanted the cake! It's gonna be a long terrible-twos lol.

Trip to Yuma

We went to Yuma this past weekend, and had a lot of fun! Just a few pictures from the action packed weekend! First, we had a birthday party/carnival for the three cousins who turned 2 within the last month. (Morgan, TJ, and Sara). Look at our Kylie go, out-jumping her cousins in a sack race. WOW! And little Jared, having fun trying to catch up. The kids got their faces painted, got some balloon animals (my sisters learned how to do a few basic things for this party), and had some good snacks and cake.




Later that weekend, the kids were all on the trampoline (well, one of MANY times)... and we all know about static electricity and hair. Jared took some really good pictures of Sara with crazy hair, but this one takes the cake!! You can't help but just DIE of laughter looking at her in this one. This is the Sara we know and love, but most people rarely see! :) Where's your war face? (as her daddy always asks) She looks like she's ready for battle!! :)
