birthday madness.
We had an Angry Bird party for the boys this year. We got a huge Angry Bird pinata, made some water balloon launching games, had lots of snacks and even an amazing black Angry Bird cake that I made. Lots and lots of friends came and we had it at Los Rios Park. Grandma even came into town especially for the party! The kids had tons of fun and got to take home an Angry Bird treat bag with their pinata candy and some other goodies in it.
gaige is 5.
We now have fish! For Gaige's birthday I made the mistake of sending Matt to get him a fish. Matt came home with a full on tank, rocks, decor and 3 guppies. The boys were super excited! For Gaige's birthday I got him and his friend Tate McDonald's for lunch and they ate it at Tate's house while they played and played and played.
Bentley was the star of the week in his Kindergarten class last week. He took a poster into school that told the other kids about him. His favorite food is pizza. His favorite place is Disneyland. His favorite thing to do is ride his bike. And his favorite color is red. He also got to bring Happy the hedgehog home with him for the week. Happy made cookies with us, took dinner to Shannon with us, went to the mall, and even went to church and wore his own little tie. Bentley kept a journal of all of the things that he and Happy did.
She is so squishy and adorable I still can't stand it! She can take a few steps but prefers to be carried and will often throw a fit if you won't pick her up. She likes to hold hands with Bentley and Gaige and have them help her walk, though. She gave me her first real kisses the other morning when Matt brought her to me when I was laying in bed. She pressed her lips up to mine twice. She loves to hug other babies over and over again. She snuggles her blanket and is attached to her binky. She jabbers up a storm and is actually pretty loud somedays. Church has now become a wrestling match with her. Last Sunday Brother Manning took her and she fell asleep while he was holding her. When you ask her a question she answers, "Yas". She says "Dadda" when Matt comes home. She jumps up and down on my lap over and over again when she gets really excited. She waves bye and waves hello to her favorite people (Becky and Cash). The only thing she won't eat is brocolli!
reunited.
It has been awhile since we got to hang out with some of our favorite friends from UCLA. Truth be told I was missing my old friends. Luckily I got to talk to most of them on the phone and even got to see Em and Kelli in the same day. I wish they were closer, but at least they and some of my other besties are still in the state of California.
