Marathon

We are approaching the finish line of the summer birthday marathon.  Summer already is a so busy and fun with all the activities and outings, but throw a few birthdays in and it really makes the summer fly by.

Spud turned three in June.  We celebrated his birthday with a quick overnight camping trip.  He loved all the attention, and treats and the tractor ice cream cake that his sisters helped make.  He's the size of a 4 year old and talks really well, so we are glad he can finally say he is three.

 Curly celebrated her 10th birthday with a birthday bowling outing and donuts.  She is excited to be a "tween" and I think it has something to do with being able to go in the "tween" only reading room at the city library.  All she wanted for her birthday was a pogo stick and she proved instantly that she knows how to pogo!

 

 Lou had a big birthday weekend for her 8th birthday.  Her birthday was on a Thursday and her cousins arrived just in time to watch her soccer game and have birthday cake.  On Friday she had her BIG birthday party with about 22 friends and cousins.  The weather threatened her outdoor water party all day long but it turned out ok in the end (aside from the dud of a pinata that kept breaking of the hook before the kids could crack into it).  On Saturday she was baptized and we had another fun day with family celebrating her baptism (more on that later).

 

The end of the marathon is in sight with out final summer birthday arriving any time in the next week!
