Birthday Bashes and other Fun!!

Both Nixon and Paige have had recent birthdays!  Nixon turned 6 in April and Paige 12 in May!!  This is a long post with both kids' special days in it!  We had a great 2 weeks celebrating them.  We can not believe our youngest is 6 and our oldest is 12!!   WOW

Nixon's 6th Birthday 

Carnival Party!!

His cake!  We got at Paige's school bake sale.

We did a carnival and Paige and Emma sold concessions!  The kids had red tickets to buy cotton candy (homemade by Paige) and hot dogs, popcorn, red vines, Yoohoo and punch!

The kids had such a blast spending their tickets it was so cute to watch!

Blue mouths from cotton candy!

Nixon had his best bud and cousin stay for a sleepover!  He was so excited!



The boys and their pillow pets!  Can't have a sleepover with out them!

They had so much fun and played together the whole night and just let their imaginations run wild.  Even with an odd number no one left anyone out it was so sweet and fun to just sit and watch them.  They crashed watching a movie!

They chowed down on waffles for breakfast!


For his actual birthday day we went to the driving rang for the first time.  My Grandpa gave us clubs for the kids before he passed away.  The kids have been begging to go.  It was a blast!










Best Day Ever!!!  So much fun!

Grandparents,Aunt, Uncle, Cousins, and some good friends came with us to celebrate both birthdays at Red Robin!

We had a lot of fun!  Thank you guys we love you all!

Paige's 12th Birthday Sleepover

Paige has been making a recipe book for a couple years now and wanted to make her own ice cream cake so we did.  Wow it was amazing.  It had oreo cookie crust or base, vanilla ice cream, layer of fudge, then whip cream.  I ran out of frosting for the words so had to shorten it to B-day LOL.



Paige and her two best friends Mackenzie and Mia!  Very sweet girls.  Thank you guys for always being so nice and such good friends to Paige!


Candle time!



opening gifts.

Another recipe she had was for heart lollipops made with mini candy canes.  So we tried that too!

We went to a late movie and then the girls just hung out and played with their iPod's and ate candy!  It was a fun night!



I know this post was long thank you for taking the time to look at it!  I really can't believe my kids are just growing up right before our eyes!

Tim is in GTMO this week so maybe my next post will have some pictures of what we can expect when we get there.  He said he will take lots for us!
