Party All the Time...?

We had two birthday celebrations this weekend. Our house was full of lots of laughter and fun.

Friday night brought Mandy's long awaited sleepover. She was so exctied and thrilled that her friends could come to the party. The evening started with not 1 but 3 baseball games. The girls graciously tagged along. We left after Levi's t-ball game and watching the other boys play a little of each of their games. The boys had quite a crowd of spectators(in addition to the girls, some other friends came to watch the games) and were so excited to have friends cheering them on. Mom,Levi and Nate brought the "party" girls home a little early to enjoy their time together.Funny Faces...Present Time... Saturday brought Levi's Birthday party... He counted down the days from his birthday(Wednesday)until his party...and he must have asked me a dozen times each day if it was his "party day" yet. The theme of the party was ...A CIRCUS!!We had a sno-cone and popcorn booth...manned by the "big" boys. The boys had a blast making the sno-cones, but I think they got carried away with the "sugar syrup". I know that G-man went into "sugar" overload that evening...The Duck Pond game....
Scooter Races....

Face Painting ... Mia,the clown... Nolan dressed up as a clown and made balloon animals for the kiddos...A Sad Clown?... Mia was pouting because momma told her that it was Levi's party...not hers...and,oh sweet, sweet,sweet...T couldn't stand that Mia was sad, so he went out to cheer her up...Parachute fun,Fun, FUN...

Present Time...
Serious business...sticking the tongue out,makes it easier to open presents...Look, Max...I got some cool stuff to take camping with us the next time we go!! Thanks Tyler!!
Momma and Daddy's gift... A Geo track...Levi loves trains... Grandma and Grandpa sent him some birthday money, and we added some pieces to the train. Levi is excited to add this set to his wooden set that he plays with constantly(some of which belong to his brothers). Did I mention, that Levi loves trains?!!!
Daddy set up the train set on Sunday, and Levi waited so patiently for it to be set up. He spent the rest of the afternoon playing with "his twains". We had to tear him away to eat dinner... This morning,as I type this, Levi and Nate are having a blast playing with his trains.
We had such a great time...Thanks to all the friends and family for making the kiddos birthdays so special.

Hey Kim! I hated to miss the party but figured you wouldn't want me there in the shape I was in that day. But had to tell you that the girls were SO excited about Levi's circus party. They couldn't wait to share all about it with me. You did a great job!

I enjoyed the pics! The kids all had a great time and had lots of stories to tell. Nicci and I are sad we had to miss.
