Happy Birthday Charlee!!!

Today, Miss Charlee turns 3!

SATURDAY

She had her party-a Pink Princess Pool Party on Saturday (say that 5 times fast). Right when we pulled up to the pool it started drizzling.... which turned to thunder.... which turned to heavy rain.... then an hour later cleared off into a nice afternoon.

The kids getting restless.

still restless

Friend, Preston longing to go out and swim

Cousin love

To use time wisely and to prevent the kids from going bazurk, she opened presents first.

I took a ton of present pics but will NOT post them all- it was a bunch of princess stuff.

The loot

When the rain stopped, we headed outside for pool part of the party.

Hunter conquers the slide- the first two times insisted someone catch him but then did MANY times by himself.

Then it was time to eat.

The cake.

Singing Happy Birthday

She got bashful- this is such a sweet picture of her!

The whole group

Cake time

MONDAY

Charlee's daycare provider stopped keeping kids, so for the next 3 weeks I have Charlee during the day. I was lucky enough to get to keep her on her birthday today. Thankfully, she and the boys get along pretty good (more on this later).

We sang happy birthday (click link to hear).


We made (and ate) a cake.
See if you can guess who doesnt eat icing- all these pictures were taken during or after the eating process.




If you guessed, Hunter then you win. Obviously Shep and Charlee didnt win that award and I am proud to say that Ashton is quite talented with a fork and spoon.

Then, Grandma, Aunt Sandee, Charlee, the boys, and I went to Chuck E Cheeses for dinner.

The boys and birthday girl :)

Sandee had helping child up playground duty

Hunter trying to coax Shepherd down, I had to eventually climb up and get him

They "wasted" a lot of money on this simulator.

Happy Birthday Charlee! We love you!
