Two Birthdays!! Twice as expensive as one!

Well, I really have no time, as I have spent all my time getting caught up

on all of your posts! So, this will be a lot of pictures. Yeah!

First, we had a barbeque before the birthday party! Yummm! Tristan told everyone that came, "Thanks for coming to my birthday party!!" And, of course, Alex is always happiest when he is surrounded by bags of chips!

All the kids were a little timid about hitting the pinata. It just doesn't feel right to hit Winnie-the-Pooh! Even if it is a knock-off version.

And then there was Aiden. I wish I had a picture of the look on his face. I think it was his secret dream come true. I think you can tell I am trying to dodge his blows. He hit that thing with everything he had and looked really happy about it. Finally, thanks to Aiden, Winnie-the-Pooh was decapitated and all the spoils from his lifeless body were gathered up by the kids. We had treats and little toys like slinkies and fruit snacks and things.

Cake time! It had SpongeBob and Patrick on it and was brown instead of orange as requested, because I really wanted a chocolate cake and I was the one who made it. And Tristan really didn't care when it came down to it.

Tristan opening presents. He really liked all his presents. Who doesn't!?

Tristan in bed with his new Thomas the Train blankie. Doesn't he look happy?

Lainey had a very simple party on Sunday, with presents that were bought at the Shamrock garage sales on Saturday! Yeah!

She got the "presents" thing really quick and was so excited about everything she opened!

Alex and Tristan were as excited about her presents as she was!! This is a little toy that blows balls in the air and then they go back down the tunnel and up again. And, of course, it plays music all the while.


Alaina and her little horse that winnies. She takes it in the car with her. I think here she is getting ready to try and ride it.


Hugging her little kitty that she got from Ben and Linda. She really liked it.

Sorry I don't have more, better pictures, but it feels like a lot just to have these things, let alone get pictures, too!
Here are a couple of random pictures. This is Meggie and Haley in my bed as we are getting ready to watch Oklahoma with Hugh Jackman. The bag of M&M's are at the foot of he bed, soon to be devoured! The movie was really good by the way and you will fall in love with Hugh Jackman as Curly! I think I liked him even more than Gordon McRae, which is saying a lot. I recommend seeing it. If only for Hugh. Mamsie-pooh, you would really appreciate it. Ahhh.. Hugh.... hehehe.. Anyway, don't they look cozy?


And this is just a cute picture of Tristan mowing behind Danny with his little mower. At a safe distance, of course.

Well, that is all I have time for now. I will try not to go so long again before posting! Sorry!
