Happy Birthday Cassidy!


My sweet adorable girl turned 11 on Tuesday! I can't even stand it. She is growing up way too fast, and unfortunately I keep getting older too! It was her off year for a party so she got to pick a family activity instead. We went out on Saturday and saw the Lightening Thief and went to Applebees for lunch. Then on Sunday we had the grandparents over for cake and ice cream and to open presents. On her actual birthday Ethan and and I went to school to eat lunch with her. Then that evening I made her a birthday dinner with her choosing the menu. Then we had a couple of friends over to sing and have cupcakes and ice cream.

My 11 favorite things about Cassidy:

*sweet
*beautiful

*loves to read
*wonderful pianist
*compassionate
*great big sister

*fun to be around

Happy Birthday Cassidy! We love you so much!!!

Opening presents!


Birthday cake just isn't good enough--she had to have a fancy cake!

I was burned out from the previous cake, so cupcakes had to do!

Funny Flashback!!

Before we went to Disneyland all Ethan could talk about was meeting all the different characters--especially Mickey Mouse! We wondered if he would still be excited to meet them when he actually saw them in person--and he was!! It made me think back to the last time we were in Disneyland. The twins were almost four so a year OLDER than Ethan is now. Kaden absolutely HATED the characters and thinking about this reminded me of some hilarious pics I just had to share. Kaden would absolutely kill me if he knew I was sharing!!

2010: Ethan meeting and hugging Mickey Mouse!


2005: Kaden meeting and NOT hugging Mickey(check out the look on his face!)

I love looking back at old pics and having a good laugh! Hope you did too!
