Troy turn's 7!!!

I can't believe my little boy is already 7 years old!

The Balloon Fairy left his room full of colorful balloons! He LOVED waking up and finding all of the balloons. The night before, he just kept saying that I hope she doesn't forget me tonight. Good thing she didn't:)

I just threw this picture in because she was so stinkin' cute riding her car around all morning! Love her bed head:)

I checked Troy and Tanner out of school, so we could go to lunch at one of Troy's favorite restaurants, Panda Express. He was in a hurry to go back so his class could celebrate with the doughnuts he took for everyone. YUM!

That night, Troy requested that we go to Chuck-a-Rama for dinner. For some reason it's his favorite restaurant. I think he likes being able to serve himself and eating as much as he wants:) My parents, Clint's mom and step-dad, my nieces and nephew, and Scoob were all nice enough to join us.

Troy and my nephew, Clint, share the same birthday. We were so excited that they wanted to spend the night with us!

I grab the birthday boy for a quick picture!

Then I wanted him and his daddy to get in one.

After dinner, we went back to our house for presents.

(And yes that it Christmas wrapping paper)

Since we already celebrated his birthday the weekend before and did a cake then, I didn't want to do another cake. Luckily, my sweet friend Ariane had brought over some yummy cookies so we put candles in them for the boys to blow out.

Silly Boys!

Happy Birthday!

I sure love you two.

Troy's Pre-Birthday Party!

The weekend before Troy's big day, we threw him a FABULOUS birthday party! He invited some of his friends and lots of his family. We decorated the whole house with balloons, streamers, and "Happy Birthday" banners.

When the kids first arrived, Jessica, Tristin and Lela painted their faces with flowers, mustaches, balloons, footballs, basketballs, rainbows, American flags, butterflies, and just plain funny faces:) The kids loved it and were laughing the whole time.

After we ate lunch of pulled pork sandwiches, fresh salsa, queso, and fruit salad, the kids got to decorate sugar cookies with frosting, sprinkles and all kinds of candy. Yum!

Then came the PRESENTS!

We couldn't keep Troy from opening his gifts any longer.

Jude gave him this hoop and a SWEET Jazz jersey.

Cute Addie chose the perfect gift!

Brooks knows that Troy LOVES to swim! And now he can rock out his new swimsuit:)

Uncle "Mountain Man" Scoob knows Troy loves video games more than anything. Great Job Scoob!

Thanks for the legos, Coren and Carson!

Next came the Cars Pinata!

Funny thing: The pinata broke on the first hit. Luckily it didn't break open so no candy fell out. We were able to duct tape the rope to it and keep the party going:)

Whack it good, Bentley!!

Come on Carter!

ohhhh!

Does it get any CUTER than this???

Carter made this all by himself during his free time at school today. He sure does love his cousins: Lela, Jessica and Tristin. Lucky girls! I think he is pretty neat stuff.

I love you Buddy!! and your big heart, too!!!

Bravo

My cute niece, Tristin, put on an amazing performance in her school play. They put on the play "Once Upon a Mattress" which is basically the Princess and the Pea story. It was such a fun play to watch especially since we knew the STAR. She had many speaking parts and even sang a duet with the army dude above. She did such a great job!

After the show, we all wanted to get our pictures taken with her.

SHE'S FAMOUS!!!

Love you Tris!

We left this little princess at home along with her two older brothers. They had a blast with their cousin Carli. Thanks Carli! Hopefully they weren't too diffucult:)

This is the Place!

Tanner's school class has been learning all about the history of Utah. They have been learning new songs and dances to perform for their families. After months of practicing, it was finally time to perform! Their hard work really paid off. They did great!

Of course, we had to take some pictures with our little star!

Way to go Buddy! We loved watching you sing your little heart out. And can I just say that you were quite the dancer, too!

Blakley's hair is always CRAZY when she wakes up from her naps! I LOVE it!

Who says you can't celebrate Christmas Late?

Who cares that it's months past Christmas?

You can do gingerbread houses anytime right?

We sure had fun making ours!

These ones were made out of chocolate!

YUMMY!

Troy and Lela were in charge of melting the chocolate.

I am so glad that I have three of the sweetest nieces in the world who come and hang out with us. We LOVE having them with us and always look forward to the weekends. Thanks girls for helping the boys out with these. They had a blast with you!

Good Job Buddy!

While the boys were decorating their houses, Clint and I were having our own photo shoot with Miss Blakley! What a little ham!

I love my little girl!
