Ok, First is Mia's birthday party - a mermaid theme down at the pool. Lots of screaming 2nd graders running around - and everyone seemed to have a good time screaming. Having the pool there made it pretty easy for the girls to stay busy!
Shanna did a great job of getting the theme together (Mia was impressed, and that's tough to accomplish).
Grandma Linda made up a fantastic cake. It was definitely the talk of the party!
Mia and Courtney trying to eat various parts and pieces off the cake.
In other news, Daddy denies that his little girl is 7.........Somewhere in the middle of the month, Mia lost a tooth. Well, I helped a little with old 'let me feel your tooth' twist and pull shocker. She obviously recovered and even forgave me the same day.
Last, but certainly not least, Cooper turned 4. The Main Event was on Thursday night when we attended the opening Bronco football game vs Weber State. A pretty lackluster opponent, but at least he got to see lots of touchdowns (28-0 in the first quarter, 56-7 final)! Then on Saturday we had a small party for him.....unfortunately he was puking Friday night and in the morning, so we called off most of the activities and just had a low-key deal. He still had a great time, and you'd never guess he was sick when the presents started showing up.
Grandma Linda did up a skateboard halfpipe cake this time....
Surrounded by spoilage.
Grandma Lori gave him a BSU jersey and Scout a hat, so now he can just get all Bronco'd out on game day. We'll be wearing that to school on Monday! As a side note, he dressing himself completely now days - in the morning he walks in and asks two questions. Is it a school day? and Is it going to be hot? and then reappears a few minutes later ready to go. What a big boy.....I'm afraid my babies are gone forever!!!!!
The last present he unwrapped was the skateboard he had been asking for for months. I have no idea what he's gonna do with it other than hurt himself (he says 'tricks') but I got him one anyway, along with as much protective gear as possible.
Cute little bugger.
