Best Summer Birthday's Ever!!!

I just realized we have 3 months of parties, what a great way to spend the summer!

July 27th is Phil's b-day. He turned the big 31. This year I had Chelsea King come over and bake a cake for Phil. Then we had aunt Callie and then Connie watch the girls. This would be our first time away from the girls. Phil was a little nervous-I could not wait! We went to the temple with Nate and Aubrey. Afterwards ate at our favorite buffet. Hong Kong Buffet in Chandler. It's got everything from a sushi chef, crab legs, Mongolian grill to everything from around the sun. It was our splurge of saving all summer! Then we went and saw Inception later that night. Slept in till 9:30am, HEAVEN! Went to breakfast at TJ's. Picked up the girls and went swimming at the Jerrell's. It was a great birthday. Thank you Phil for marrying me and helping out so much.

Making the cake with Chelsea.

Boston's 3rd birthday was June 14th. We celebrated with cousin Addie who turned one.

We had it at the city splash pad. Thanks to Aubrey's family we had a snow cone machine, cotton candy maker and hot dogs and all the fixings!

I love how everyone in this picture is try to blow out the cupcake!

I can't remember if she sneezed or not!!!

But I love this picture. I love our cupcakes, all those are is mini marshmallows cut in half and dipped in sugar crystals and stuck on by the icing! Thanks Aunt Callie for the fun idea.

Matt and Ashley and kiddos were able to make it for the party. We had a great time!
