Kennedy and Camden Birthdays Part 2

Kennedy and Dallin helped me lick the bowls from the birthday cakes the night before their birthday.

Kennedy opened 1 present before Garrett went to work because mornings are CrAzy around our house getting out the door.

No, this is not bedhead.  It was crazy hair day at school for Dallin.

We had a small swim party with a few of Kennedy's and Camden's friends. 

We had a picnic outside and then cupcakes.

Camden always enjoys a good meal!

When Chase was born I bought them both this swimsuit and they look so cute.

My good friend Amy and her son Jacob who is Dallin's best friend.  And Lisa and Chase.  This was Chase's first time in the pool.

She always enjoys her sweets!

Kennedy and Anna

Their cakes.  Kennedy ordered a pink castle cake like Sleeping Beauty's about 3 months ago.  this was as close as I could get it.  And Camden got baseball cupcakes.

We had Dawson and Lisa over that night for a BBQ.  The kids had fun all day together.

We could not get a really cute picture of the kids in their towels.  So i had them make a crazy face.

Kennedy got Sleeping Beauty's Castle for her birthday.  It came with Belle, Aurora, and Cinderella and their princes, Mickey and Minnie and Tinker Bell and Peter Pan.  It has been a great gift and she has played with it every day since.

The day wore out not one but two kiddos.

                                 But not this one, she would have stayed up all night to play with her castle.
                      They had many GREAT parties this year and Kennedy thought the next day was her birthday too. 

Visit from Dani

Garrett had to fly to Tennessee from Utah, so Dani drove home with me and stayed the week with me and the kids. 

Stevie gave Dallin some of my dads fitted hats.  He was so proud of them.

Swimming all day long, almost everyday.  It sure can wear a kid out. 

Baseball, Baseball, Baseball!!!

Dallin is a very all or nothing kid.  Right now it is ALL baseball.  He would eat, drink, and sleep baseball if he could.  He would play catch or go to the park and hit every day if  he could.  It is hot here now and Garrett is so cute and still takes him out to play catch.  He was on the Diamondbacks this year and had an awesome team and awesome coaches.  He played T-ball for 2 years and did not want to play T-ball again.  So we decided to play him up even though he was not of age to play coach pitch.  We worried about it, but he did awesome and definitely held his own.  He is a good little hitter, just needs to get a little more power in his swing.  

Turning 3 & 1 Part 1

We went up to Salt Lake City for a quick weekend visit, because Garrett's sister was blessing their baby.  While we were there we decided that why everyone was together we should celebrate Kennedy and Camden's birthday since it was only 2 weeks away.  I was a lot of fun and we did alot in such short time. 

We went and fed the ducks with Grandma Dahn.  It wa so cute, my grandma always worries that because we live away the great grandkids won't know her, when we got there she opened the door and Kennedy ran in and gave her a big hug and said "Hi grandma Dahn."  Then she told me later that Grandma Dahn is her friend because she shares her candy.  (My grandma has a HUGE candy bowl that she keeps full and at kid level for all the great grandkids.)

Camden was content just eating the bread.

One of the favorite attractions (besides the swimming pool) at grandma Linda's is the teeter totter. 

The boys had their home run derby and even let the girls get in on the action.

It was quite comical watching me swing a bat number one, and two in my boots.

All the grandkids had a sleepover in Grandma Linda's basement.  They had so much fun and didn't even wake up super early.

                                      

Memorial Day swimming party and Kennedy and Camden's Birthday party!!  As you can see Camden loves Dallin. 

 

Until I am ready to go out this is the sight you see.  He wants to be with the other kids soooo bad.

Happy Birthday.  Kennedy turns 3 and Camden turns 1.

Dallin does not leave Griffen and Garrett's side the whole time they are around. 

Yes he is wearing pants and a long sleeve shirt.  We do not know why but he is going through a pants and long sleeves phase.  Even in Las Vegas in 105 degree heat.

 

I think it was the best birthday ever for Kennedy.  She got a Caboodle with paint nails, as she calls it, and lip gloss from Dani, a suitcase and hooded princess towel from Nana Mare, Dress -ups and dresses from Grandma Linda and even more dress-ups from Aunt Tiffany.  Everyone else waited for their real birthday.  If you can believe she has more to come.

He really enjoys a good meal or cake or anything food really.

This is in the park behind Nana Mare's which is literally her backyard.  She has a fence to the park and it is awesome.  The kids are out there all the time when we are at Nana Mare's.
