Happy Birthday Babies!

How in the world are my girlies 3 years old already??  So crazy!  Anyway, in celebration of this special day, we had a rainbow themed birthday party.  The girls have been waiting for this day for weeks.  We have been talking about the party...more specifically, the cake...for what seems like forever!  The day finally came and they were so excited.  It was a little chillier and a little windier than we had hoped for, but it was still a fun day with good friends and loving family members!!  So grateful to everyone that came and made the day special for our two sweet girls!

The cake...this was not only the girls, but also my favorite part of the party...wait until you see the inside...Aunt Deanna really outdid herself this time!  I absolutely LOVED this cake!  LOVED! LOVED! LOVED!







The birthday princesses

Our friend Stacy made these adorable tutus for the girls!

We started the party with pizza 

Then the kiddos decorated their pinata loot bags






Cant' believe how big Demi is getting...she is so cute :)


Wondering about that beautiful scratch on Bella's face?  That would  be courtesy of Leah scissor hands





Pinata time!  Daddy coaching Leah before her shot at it!




Giving Bella a little pep talk too...










Kai rocked it out :)











Sammy finally made a hole

And Bella finished it off!




Then it was cake time...

Turns out it was WAY too windy to light the candles...so we just improvised...


The girls could not wait for the cake to be cut...they dove right into the cupcakes...


The inside of the cake

SOOOOO happy that Heidi was able to make it down for the party...oh how we miss her!






ha ha ha...


all the kiddos eating their cake...

not sure how this picture got out of order...but i don't know how to move it...lol



Bella and her little friend Ian having a ball





another out of order picture....

Playing baseball with Sammy at the the end of the party (hence the crazy tutus)




And....here is what happens when you let your kids have WAYYYYY too much sugar at their birthday party.  Leah was attempting to have a conversation with Abuelito...he was asking her normal questions and she was just acting like a crazy woman...this was about 4 minutes into her crazy behavior...

First Field Trip


Today, the girls went on their first field trip ever!  We went to Gaver Farms...another really fun pumpkin farm that has LOTS of awesome things for kids to do.  It was FREEZING when we got there...as you can see by all of the layers that we were forced to wear, but outside of that, it was a pretty perfect day!  Grandparents were welcomed to come, so we asked Grandma to come with us and had such a great time with her.


The first thing we did when we got there was take a hayride to the pumpkins.  We each got to pick a pumpkin!

Grandma helped Leah pick hers...

Then she carried them around for the girls :)




The girls' teacher wanted to take a picture with each girl with the pumpkin they chose...of course at this point they decided that they had picked the same pumpkin!




After the hayride, we got to feed and pet some animals...mostly goats.

Leah discovered the little ducky races...she LOVED doing this with her little classmate.

Bella and Grandma found another duck race...




And...where there is a slide...we must go!

Leah went down alone right away...

Isabella was a little scared and needed a little help the first couple times...

But once she tried it alone, she LOVED it!


Look who we saw there!!  Jen and Caleb have a season pass and decided to come up today...we also saw a few of our other neighbors there too!!  



The girls loved this "pirate ship" (Ark)

And of course...we had to bounce...

The lady in pink is their teacher...who by the way has EIGHT kids..6 of whom I taught...all of whom are out of middle school already.  Hope I look like that good when the girls get that old!
