Birthday * Birthday * Birthdays

In the summer our house is busy with birthdays one right after another. Every year the kids get a special date planned with one of their parents. On the even year birthday's they have dates with mom and on the odd year birthday's they have a date with dad. So this year was my lucky year for most of the birthday's. Camry's birthday was first out of the the bunch, on July 13th. Camry is a huge animal lover. She adores horses and always asks us if she can ride one. We have a girl in our ward that is Idaho's barrel racing champion. We asked her if she would take Camry on a ride for her birthday. It was so great, she was more than willing too! So for Camry's date, that's what we did. I actually had Grandma, Dad and the kids come to watch their sister ride. I was actually really surprised how nervous she was to get up close to the horse. However very understandable it's a very large animal. It didn't take long for her to warm up and we were riding all over their arena. I rode with her most of the time and had just as much fun as she did. It was a blast to see her eye light up and to know that she was getting to do something she had always dreamed about.










Camry 5 things I love about you: Your sweet sense of STYLE-anything goes, how much she loves animals, how sensitive her little heart is(she won't watch a movie with any animals that get hurt, even if they get better)she's feisty just like her mom, how chatting she is if your the only one in the room, your our tom-boy (who spends more time in her Jammie's than anything else), you love your family and always make sure you put us first! Camry you always put a smile on my face.


Then we celebrated Halli's birthday on July 21st. As most of you know Halli is my girlie girl all the way. So I had planned an afternoon at the beauty school for both of us to get pedicures(before we went we stopped and got ourselves a treat to indulge ourselves while we were being pampered)! Our pedicures were nice, secretly I had wished it would have been a little nicer than it was and I was disappointed in the language and conversation that the girls had going on while giving us the pedicures, however I really enjoyed just one on one time with Halli. Afterwards Halli and I treated ourselves to a very yummy lunch at The Upper Crust. All in all it was a perfect day. I was really mad at myself for not getting any pictures of this! Later on we had a family bbq and enjoyed some fun family time and cake! I am having a problem downing loading pics so this is all I got for Halli right now :(


Halli I love you so much and I am so proud the girl you chose to be!!!!
5 things we love about you: You live life to it's fullest, you always have on a smile, your always dancing, singing or preforming for us. Your a wonderful big sister and a great example to your family! As a mom I feel so blessed to have you as my oldest daughter.


Our next birthday was Livy's Aug 21st. She is now a very big 2 yr old, who talks up a storm and is into everything all the time. I took her to the dollar store to pick out her decorations, she had so much fun. When we left we had turquoise and yellow streamers, confetti and balloons! We decorated later that night after Livy went to bed and she woke up so happy to see all her decorations up. We sang to her throughout the whole day. She was so funny to watch when we would sing, she would start to get real shy, nervous or overwhelmed at the fact that we were all sing at her. I must say though, she loved having the day to herself and her presents made it all that much for fun. I think the rest of us had just as much fun making the day special for her. 5 things I adore about Livy: her contagious laugh, her cheesy smile(with a one eye open and the other eye closed), she's a great little listener and helper! She loves her brothers and sisters so much and will often ask them to snuggle her! She's my little buddy and will give me hugs and kisses all day long :)
