Birthdays

Well, I am so super behind on posts, this is going to take me a while to get caught up. But we've been doing some really fun things, and I want to write about them! So, I am going to try to just do a little bit frequently and see if I can get caught up!!
So here goes, with lots of pictures and not so many words!!

Tristan's Birthday!! This was his first year to have friends over, and he thought that was super fun. They made flubber and got to take it home. (And I used wayyy too much food coloring and it stained all their hands. I'll bet all the moms loved me!)

 Most of the time they all wanted to just jump on the trampoline!!

 Tristan wanted a red and white cake, and although it doesn't look very good, it actually tasted great!
 They did a superhero cake-walk, but they got to pick out prizes, instead of cake!
 He had lots of fun, and that night we did family presents, only we forgot to take pictures!!
He is 6 years old now, and very proud of it!!

Then a few weeks later, we had Alaina's birthday, but hers was just with family this year.
(Does anyone know how to rotate a picture on here?)
 Even though it was only family and low-key, for some reason I got all stressed out and got super annoyed when her cake started falling apart. Then Tristan came up and pushed on a candle and the whole thing collapsed. Something I would usually laugh about, but I got really mad. Sorry Tristan!! (I apologized later to him.) It still turned out fine, and Alaina thought it was the most beautiful cake ever!!
 There were cupcakes with strawberries, too.... Yumm...
 She got ruby slippers,
Barbie mermaids from Grandma, dress-up jewelry, a movie,
 a rapunzel dress from Grandma and Grandpa Campbell,
and this awesome wood horse stable with horses and rider (that I got for free from a friend!). She was ecstatic about everything!!

 And, even though this was in May and Emme's birthday was in February, we had her birthday, too!! We just couldn't get around to it earlier, and she really didn't mind. :) (And these are the most horrible pictures!!)  She got a dolly and a horsey from Grandma!
  So, everything turned out great and maybe next time I will not get stressed-out beforehand!
Yeah! One post done, only five-thousand more to go!!
