Levi's First Birthday

All that birhtday fun WORE me out!

NEW YEARS 2011!!!

We met at the Summers house before going on to a fun swanky little restraunt called Stella's here in town. Its one of my favorite date places that we don't get to go to real often. Wonderful food, good music, and even better company! My parents were in town and were able to keep the kids. It was the first time Trent and I had been 'out' on New Years in MANY years!

Ooooh...pretty!

Her stocking.

She got a 'big girl' scooter. She ripped the fringe off within hours :(

Aunt Tina gave her makeup!

This captured one of my favorite DAD moments with Trent. Trent has been working a lot of hours and was working on his laptop one evening not too long after Christmas and Ty came and asked him to play checkers (that he got in his stocking) and Trent dropped what he was doing and said, "sure son. anything for you." They played several games. SO proud of the dad Trent is.

Ty's turns SEVEN

Ty chose to celebrate his birthday at the same place as last year, 50th Street Caboose! Its kind of like a main event/restraunt. Great food and perfect size game area. He invited 7 little friends, most from school and one from church. He and Noah have been friends since birth! He opted for a Transformer cake this year. We had a lot of fun! I can't believe its been 7 years since I became a mother, in some ways ;)

There were two grandpas more than willing to wrangle the little brother!

Ty's friend Caden just also happens to be the brother of Olivias good friend Rylan!

Olivia's FIFTH Birthday

Olivia just celebrated her fifth birthday on November 11th!
We had her party the following Saturday in our backyard with campfire festivities! We invited her class, and soccer team with four church friends/neighbors. We roasted hotdogs (pre-cooked with crescent rolls) and then Cita, my mother read campfire stories in the tent while I transitioned to dessert... S'mores! A great time was had by all! The day of Olivia's birthday she and I made our annual trip to James Avery and she picked out a butterfly charm for this year! We also went to Chuck E. Cheese with Pop and Cita Friday night in celebration! Today I am able to report all of this because we are actually home today because Olivia has the stomache bug :( Its been an eventful week to say the least!
