Birthdays 2015

We all had birthdays this year....funny how that works. Our birthday season always starts with Luke around here.

Luke turned 11 years old this year. He is growing and changing too fast. Next year he starts junior high. Ugh!!! This year for his birthday he had a few friends over to spend the night and go to Fun Friday at the gym. Talk about an easy party!! I fed the boys pizza and cake then dropped them off at the gym to burn it all off.  I was hoping they would be tired when they got home but not much slumbering happened that night.

Chris's is next in the line up. He had a BIG birthday this year!! The BIG 4-0!! We celebrated with family at the pizza parlor in C City. 

Chris requests a German Chocolate cake every year from Tony's Bakery. It is delicious!! I am so glad we had lots of help eating it this year. Aunt Johnnie also made ice cream to go with it. So good!!

Look at Mac helping blow out the candles.

Grandpa and his birthday boy.

Granny with her birthday boy.

Next comes Rachel. Rachel turned 14 this year.  We actually got to celebrate her birthday with her at home this year. Usually she is away at church camp. She picked a cookie cake and swimming with friends. The friends picture is on my phone.

I love how happy they all look.

Plenty of help blowing out the candles.

She wanted a new bedspread for her birthday.

And a guitar. She is trying to teach herself to play. She has learned a few songs and chords. She just needs more time in the day.

My birthday is next in the line up. There were no pictures taken. We will have to do better next year. Chris did cook me dinner and made a chocolate coke cake. It was yummy.

Katybug was next. My baby girl turned 8 years old. She is still sweet and smiley as ever. We had a swimming party planned with her cousin Caroline, but we had to cancel it due to rain. She had to settle for a party at home and a trip to Cinergy to do the ropes course. Those pictures are on my phone too.

Kate always asks for an ice cream cake for her birthday. She makes it easy on me.

So sweet!

Kate asked for a Barbie car.

And a pedal car.

To round out the birthday season, Wade turned 5 years old this year!! My baby is 5!!! Wade started with presents. He got some Batman bedding. He wanted it on his new bed in Luke's room right away. He has slept in there pretty much ever since. That was easy!

 He wanted a pedal car too.

Quite a pair.

I made his cake. He loved it!!

On Wade's birthday we met his cousins in Big Spring at the waterpark. He had a great day!! He still asks to go back to the waterpark. It is a little cold now.
