Chloe's 1st B-day Party

This past Saturday we celebrated Chloe's first birthday. We went over to Granddad's and Mimi's house to celebrate. We made our own little pizzas, went swimming, had a pinata, ate cake and opened presents. It was a lot of fun and it was fun celebrating with family.

Max has gotten so comfortable and good at swimming in the pool.

I did decorate outside for the party even though you can't really tell

Happy Birthday Chloe!

Skye and Max making their own pizzas

Even though Chloe couldn't hit the pinata, we had to have one anyways. They are so much fun and Max and Skye had fun hitting it.

I made the same cake that I made for Max's 1st birthday. I gave Chloe the bottom cake and the boys/adults had the cupcakes.

I wanted the classic picture of the child eating their birthday cake and getting it all over their face. I tried it with Max, but he would not even touch his cake and Chloe just screamed when she touched it. I don't know what it is but they don't like to eat cake with their hands. One of these times I am going to get the classic birthday picture. I might just have to wait until they are 5 or 6 to get it.Happy Birthday Chloe!

4th of July

We spent our first 4th of July in Seattle. It was a great day for Seattle. In the morning we went down to the lake to kayak and play at the little beach that they have down there. Then we went swimming and had a BBQ over at Granddad's and Mimi's house. It was a lot of fun and very relaxing. We didn't make it to the fireworks because the kids were so tired from a fun and exciting day.

Paul's Birthday Party

Happy Birthday Paul!!! On Wednesday Paul turned 28. For his birthday, my mom watched the kids while we went to the temple and then went out to lunch. I forget how nice it is to eat without the kids around. I actually got to enjoy my meal. Then on Saturday, we celebrated Paul's birthday with the family. It was a lot of fun. We went swimming, ate some Mexican food, had a pinata, and had some cake.

Max loves loves cake. Actually he only eats the frosting but that is the best part.


I love Max's eyes in the picture

Bab's Visit

We got home from Cali on Tuesday and my mom came on Thursday. It was a little crazy, but it was a lot of fun to have her here. We went to the zoo, shopping, went out to lunch, got our toes down and hung out. It was really nice to have her here and the kids had so much fun with her. We only took a couple pictures and they were from the zoo.

Laguna Beach

When we were in Southern California, we made a trip to Laguna. We always have to go to the beach while we are in Cali. We miss the beach so much and the kids love it. It was a perfect day while we were there. The best part while we were there was when the tide came in, the water kept coming up to where we were sitting and Max kept freaking out because the water kept getting the blankets wet. I don't know what it was but he would just freak out every time the water would get the blankets and towels wet. It was really funny to watch.

Disneyland

Last week we went to Southern California. We decided to go last minute so we could meet Paul's brothers soon to be fiance. We are so glad that we made the trip. We had a lot of fun and it was so nice to get a way. While we were there we decided to spend the money and go to Disneyland for the day. I am so glad that we did because Max had so much fun. Yes, he had a hard time waiting in line for the rides, but he loved seeing all the characters. He did get a little scared in some of the rides when they were all dark, but his favorite ride was the tea cups. I do miss having our season passes to Disneyland. Maybe someday we will be back in Cali.
