Grace's 10th Birthday!

Grace got to celebrate her 10th birthday twice this year.  First we had a party at Chuck E. Cheese before the Bousquet cousins left town (about a week before her birthday). It was so much fun.  Then on Grace's actual birthday, we celebrated with a home made ice cream cake that actually turned out really yummy.  We love our Grace and we're so glad she joined our family 10 years ago.  They're growing up so fast!

 Here's Grace on her real birthday with her homemade ice cream cake (with chocolate dipped strawberries on top).  Yum!

 And here's a cute picture of Joy I took the other day that I'm throwing in here because it's adorable and she wasn't really represented in the pictures above.  Grace and Joy start school in a little over a week, I'm not sure I'm ready for summer to be over.  It's been fun.  I hope you are all well and happy.

Love,

Caleb and Tyler's Awesome Birthday Party!!!

Tonight we celebrated Caleb's 2nd birthday and Tyler's 13th birthday at an awesome party given by Chrissy.  I wish I had taken more pictures of the decorations and food, so cute.  The bouncy house was especially popular with all the cousins.  The food was great and it was a lovely time.  Here are some pictures.  Enjoy!

 Chrissy's stylish food!

 

 

Yay for the bouncy house! 

 I love Caleb and Lisa's faces in this one.  So funny and cute.

 Such a sweet little family!

 Caleb, mid-clap.

Pretty Leeya likes to pose for the camera. 

 The kids got some great cards made by their cousins.

 So much fun!  Thank you Chrissy and everyone who helped.  Happy Birthday Caleb and Tyler!  We miss you Carl and Steph! 

Love,

Aubrey

4th of July Fun!

We had lots of fun today celebrating the 4th of July at Grandma and Grandpa's house with the Bousquets and Chrissy (and Rick and Hailey came for dinner).  We've already been having a blast playing with the cousins, it's the best time of year!  Here are some pictures from this evening.
