Birthday Fun

The boys turn 9 September 3rd...can you believe it? Last year they told us that they really wanted a boating party, so we thought we would do it a little early this year to avoid school and sports in the upcoming weeks. We went to Big Lake this weekend to celebrate. Dianne & McKenzie came and camped under the stars and so did Brett, Julia, and Charlie. It was soo fun! Saturday a bunch of the boys' friends came and we pulled them around the lake for a while and had a bbq. It was a really relaxing party! I think we will try to make this a standing birthday party/camping trip. I just hope my batteries on my camper don't die every year!

Cute McKenzie keeping warm after the sun went down!


Sydney on the boat, ready to go. She is babysitting the boys' webkins and they are in her sweatshirt, so she is a bit lumpy.

Our beach and the view of Mt. Washington. It was gorgeous when the sun set and rose! The water turned orange.
The first trip out on the boat. Is Brett having fun?
Tanner, being buried alive, and having a great time!
Some of my favorite people, Debbie, Sharri, and Tammy
Brooke, Sean, Tyler and Jonathon
Opening presents...they were so excited about all of their presents. Sean gave them these hats and he said, now let me show you how to wear them...and turned them to the side. They look a little punky wearing them, but they are really cute!


Their birthday cake, with no real candles. Well, there are candles, but they wouldn't light. We sang anyways and they didn't care. It was really a fun weekend!

Isn't it crazy! I have been here through the entire 9 years. On a day to day basis it feels like it is taking forever. On a yearly basis I look back and it seems like time has flown by. I still remember the first day like it was yesterday! Although, it is kind of foggy most of that first year! Not much sleep then.
