Pump It Up bday party

The girls had a joint bday party at Pump It Up.  They love all of the jumping castles and the inflatable things to play on!  They had a blast!  They ate cupcakes and opened presents there and said good bye to their friends.  Then we went back to our house to have a pizza lunch with the family.  It was a nice gathering and was a beautiful June day.  They girls were so wiped that day from all of the festivities and excitement, they took long naps and went to bed early.   

Rylyn's 5th bday

Rylyn celebrated her 5th bday with a pink Barbie cake and a birthday hat.  She couldn't wait to eat her cake!  Carter picked out a mermaid for her sister and Rylyn also got a pink hello kitty bike--they were so excited to ride their matching hello kitty bikes around the neighborhood with dad(Carter loathes getting her picture taken-sorry, I still try).

Rylyn's PreK graduation

Rylyn graduated from her Pre Kindergarten class.  She was so excited to wear her painted red, white, and blue shirt with her cap.  She did an awesome job singing American songs and we were so proud of her.  We joined her after the graduation and had a Chik-fil-a picnic in the school gym.  Carter wanted so badly to get up there and sing with her (they had both been practicing the songs together). 

Carter turns 3!

Carter was so excited to turn 3!  She picked out her Ariel cake, wanted to wear her zebra dress, and put on her sequin pink bow headband to top it off!  She was super excited to open her presents and got her very own new hello kitty bike (she was so happy that it was hers and not another one of Rylyn's hand-me-downs.)  Rylyn and her also had a joint bday party at pump it up--too fun!

My 32nd bday

We had a nice gathering with the family for my bday and Mother's day...I am getting old is all I have to say!

Mother's Day

I had a lovely day.  During the week, the girls planted some flowers for me and painted to pots--so creative!  They were really excited for me to see their pots.  Over the weekend, the girls and Dad went out and got me flowers to plant in the yard for mother's day.  Then we had the family over for a BBQ and all of the cousins wanted to dress up and dance in the yard...so cute together!

Another 10k with Angie

I made my poor sister join me in another 5k run.  We ran in the 10th anniversary Colorado Marathon race and made a slow and steady pace of 1 hour 5 minutes.  We both agreed that 6.2 miles is the furthest we want to run in one setting!  It was fun to run with her and the fam came out to watch us cross the finish line.  Our father did point out that lots of people finished before us and asked us what was taking us so long....seriously right?  My grandpa Glen was out too and got to witness the event too.  We all went to the Egg and I for breakfast after the race--it was a nice family outing.
