Birthdays (Garrett, Chelton and Grandma Debbie)

So June is our Christmas of Birthdays..we spent the first week of June up in North Ogden because Chelton had EVO training so I didn't want to be home alone so I went up and spent the week with my mom...Chelton's birthday was the day before we left so we got to spend his birthday at home. We had already went clothes shopping for mine and his birthday but the kids wanted to get him something so we went to the grocery store to get stuff for the strawberry pie I always make him for his birthday and I let them pick out something to get him....Kylie got him a bag of cornnuts, Connor got a box of zingers (which I think when it came down to it, he only actually ate like one or two out of the 12 that were in there) and Garrett got him a bag of trail mix.....they were SOOO excited for him to open his presents...It was so funny. We made a sign to hang up and they all made homemade Pokemon and Dora happy birthday cards....It was a cute birthday for Dad....



Two days later up north we had a small birthday party for Garrett where we went to Toads Fun Zone. He took his brother and his cousins Ethan and Jayden with him. They had a blast. They played laser tag, indoor golf and outdoor golf and lots of video games and had pizza and ice cream. This is the second year in a row where he has celebrated his birthday at Toads. He loves it. Ethan and Garrett spent most of their video game money on this one pirate game. They had a good time. We went back to my mom's for cake. He was excited to get a new wii for his birthday as his has been broken for a long time and we got him a membership to blockbuster online where he can rent games for the summer (rather than buying him a new game that he gets bored of or beats in like a day and never plays again--then he can trade in for a new one)...

Opening presents (grandpa and Chelton were trying to take pictures and Jayden, Ethan and Connor thought they were funny and tried to jump in front of the camera...they succeeded a lot too)



Then later that evening we had a BBQ at my sister Mandee's house for my mom's birthday which was the day before. We had a really nice time just visiting with everyone and letting the kids all play together and play on the swingset and play volleyball. It was a nice birthday week. Can't believe Garrett is 9 years old!!!

Connor and his cousin Logan playing volleyball (and might I add Logan is 11 months younger than Connor and they are the same height--man my kid is a shrimp)

Fair fight? I'm sure the little kids can take them on!!!

It is always fun for everyone to get together...birthday week is almost as exhausting as Christmas but we have a lot of fun!!!! I am almost a month late in posting but better late than never!!!
