celebrating

After spending the morning at the beach, we spent the afternoon at the neighbors house, swimming and grilling. Caeley had a birthday this past week so we celebrated them both in style. Hamburgers, hotdogs, and 48 cupcakes. That's what I call a party.

The only time the girls sit still when they are near the pool is when they are forced to eat. With all the swimming they actually had an appetite.

Swimming is nonstop when the kids are in the pool so these pictures almost didn't happen.

Michael's parents and nephew were in town this past weekend. Isn't this a crew. Michael wasn't thrilled about the singing or the pictures.

Addison was so cute all day. She made Michael a homemade card where she wrote out "Happy Birthday Daddy" all by herself. She pointed out that she was making big A's and not little a's. Then she drew a picture of her and her daddy next to our house and a tree. She took it very seriously. Then she whispered to me that since daddy was a boy that he would like a "boy" toy. You know. Like a transformer or something. I about died it was so cute. So I went by the dollar store and picked up a truck. She was so happy to give it to him.

I almost didn't post this picture. We both have pool head and I'm just worn out from the day. But Michael doesn't care if I look all fancy on his birthday. He loves me anyway!

Happy Birthday my dear. You're definitely the glue that holds us all together.
