Grandma Great turns 90!

Last weekend the kids and I went back home to celebrate my Grandma Laura's 90th Birthday.  This is the grandma that the kids call Grandma Great. :)  We threw an 80th birthday party for her, but a lot a changed since then.  A few of her grandkids got married, a great grandson of hers was taken way too early from cancer, she's moved to the nursing home, lost most of her vision, and been diagnosed with Alzheimers.  We decided it was only fitting to throw a 90th birthday party too. Cheers to you Grandma.  We love you and all that you've done for our family.

Cullyn's 6th Birthday

Cullyn's 6th Birthday will be one I won't seen forget.  It was the year we surprised him with a 4 Wheeler and he hated it!  I mean completely refused to put the helmet on or take it for a spin. #ParentingFail  Lucky for him, he also got a metal detecter and a pair of gloves for digging, a pair of baseball gloves, and some other treasures he had been requesting. 

Cullyn was most excited for his first ever Friend Birthday Party.  We rented out the local movie theater and invited his entire class {when we ask him who his best friends are his response is 'everyone!  I like playing with everybody' Bless his heart!  So he and his favorite 20+ friends watched Wonderpark on the big screen.

Jordyn's 1st Friends Birthday Party

Jordyn had her first friend birthday party this year.  Since she's in Kindergarten, we invited her dance friends, a girl from daycare, and a couple of friends from school.  We kept it pretty simple and lucked out with the best weather possible!  The kids played, painted pumpkins, and ate McDonald happy meals {per the birthday girl} followed by cupcakes.  It was a great day, but I'm pretty sure we'll go somewhere off property for the party! ;)
