birthdays

happy birthday to me.... sadie really wanted me to have a nice birthday. she made this cake, hung signs, wrote on my bathroom mirror, and served me breakfast in bed. my mom and dad came to visit and we went to dinner in sedona. my mom informed me that my pans were terrible so we picked out a new set for my birthday and i love them. i have missed our families lately, so it was really nice to have them here. dave always makes my birthday a wonderful day. he bought me the cutest luggage i have ever seen, with hopes of someday going away together for a few days.

dave's birthday: we were in utah for dave's birthday so we were lucky enough to celebrate with his family. his parents are always extremely generous --dave was excited to try out his new golfing gear. no party is complete without a pinata, plus tim and holly brought a cotton candy machine= one happy birthday!
kai's 5th birthday party: of course, kai chose a soccer theme for his big party. the invites were super easy. just a plastic ball from the dollar section at target. we wrote with colorful permanent markers the b-day info. they turned out cute. we decorated team jerseys, had a few soccer relays, and dave out-did himself with the pinata. it was a huge soccer ball hanging in the goal. the kids kicked a soccer ball at it to break it. it was filled with balloons and candy. it was a windy day, but even with the wind, it was a fun day for kai.
happy birthday papa john! we wish we were there to celebrate with you... but a zip-line in hawaii sounds like a pretty great way to spend your big day.
