Happy 3rd Birthday Dyer!

Dyer wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese for his birthday just like Easton.  So off to Chuck E Cheese we went!

Dyer also wanted to do the ticket blaster.  Blair was a little sad because she thought she wasn't going to be able to do the ticket blaster since it wasn't her birthday.  I told her that she could because it was around her birthday.

Blakely and Anna

How old do you think they are?

Anna is 2 months older than Blakely.  Blakely is definitely bigger than Anna and she is apparently a bully too!  I'm pretty sure that Blakely isn't a bully but these pictures would say something else.  Haha!  I picked these gems out of the many pictures Valerie and I took.  Above: Grabbing Anna's ear.

 Happy 3rd Birthday Dyer!

Happy 5th Birthday Blair!

Only a month late! Blair's birthday fell on a Sunday this year so we of course went to church before we celebrated her birthday.  She wore her new Princess dress to church.  I wish that Blair would have opened her gift from Grandma Gretch before church because she would have had accessories to match (necklace, earrings, high heel shoes).  It would have been perfect!

We did things a little backwards for Blair's birthday.  After church we opened gifts and then let Blair and Easton try out their new gifts.

Blakely loves getting into the water

Blair swimming

Upset about his water being turned off.

 After swimming we ate cake and then invited all the neighborhood kids over to break open the pinata.  The one thing that Blair wanted for her birthday was a princess pinata.  

Happy 5th Birthday Blair!

I tried to do My Little Pony cupcake toppers.

The extra's went to Blair's gymnastic's team.

Birthday girl first!

Dyer

I love how excited boys get about hitting things!  Love Dyer's face here!

Easton

Great swing!

Picking up all the candy!

Valerie of course gave Blakely a sucker and she held on to that sucker for dear life.  She would not let go of it for anything!

Kids' Birthday Party

We decided to combine the kids' birthday parties this year.  We rented out the gymnastics center and each of the kids got to invited some of their friends.  I think everyone had a great time!

Sword fighting, first loose tooth, and reading

Sword fighting!  

These two are doing more boy things together (wrestling, sword fighting, etc.)

We went to the dentist for the kids to get their teeth cleaned and found that Easton's permanent tooth is coming in behind his baby tooth.  The dentist said he has 3 months (2 now) to get it out or we will have to bring him in to get it pulled.  

Blair is starting to read now!  I only caught the end of this book though.
