Happy Birthday to YOU!, you, you, you and you!


Townsend Cayden 
turned 
5
He CELEBRATED BIG 
with all his cousins!
Once he opened all his gifts...
We turned it into a 
5 WAY BIRTHDAY FOR ALL OF THEM!
Cayden
Sarah
Molly
Mya
Layla
That way they could all celebrate together!

Cayden asked to have a 
pea~yacht~ta
otherwise known as a Pinata~
We just didn't want to correct him,
 because it sounded so
cute,
so we all called it a Peayachtta!


Cayden~
He was vicious with that bat!
LOOK OUT!

Every one took turns trying to break that thing open!
Mya~
Molly~
Danny~
Abigail~

Sarah, and Emily took whacks at it too, but I 
have no idea where those pictures went??
Layla took cover with her Daddy!

But here they are grabbing their loot!

Uncle Danny had to intervine to keep the peace!

Molly Carolyn held this safety position for a long time~
so afraid someone... namely her sister, would take it from her!

Cayden got asked a BIG question too on his 5th Birthday~
Amanda and Kevin asked him to be a ring bearer in 
their wedding!
Cayden with the bride to be!

I love to look back in time when it comes to this boy!
The day he was born was filled with such excitement
as Daddy and Mommy checked into the hospital!

Overjoyed at the birth of their son!

Papa meets his first grandson!

Aunt BB falls right in love with her nephew!

Uncle Danny was right there to meet his nephew!

I was just besides myself~ so happy!

Uncle Tegan sent love from Colorado!

Bri holds his tiny hand~
and his sweet little feet~

Sarah helped Molly understand that she was not 
the BABY anymore!

Cayden~ you were just precious!


At one~
So kissable!

At two~
so sweet!

Mommy still holding your hand~ she will always be there
for you!

At 3~
Already so funny!

At 4~
Becoming a Rock Star!
We are really seeing just how compassionate you are!

You are so special to us all!
Meme loves you, Townsend Cayden!
Up to Go
So lucky you're ours!

The OLD and the NEW


The one and only 
Memphis Kiddie Park...
the old!
I went as a child,
my children went
and now my GEMS never miss it!


Layla loved it!!

Tegan showed some FEAR (haha) on the 
roller coaster, that does kill an adults back!!

The train is always a must...
My sweet Sarah Rose is TOO TALL for most rides~
but that only meant she was going to CEDAR POINT
with all the BIG KIDS in a few days!

Constant partners... Molly and Mya

Me and my bug!

Papa got busy on the NEW of this post...
KUBB
All Bri had to do was mention it to her dad...
"We play this game at the lake, Dad, you should make one"

So he did!

Cayden and his buddy Layla found their way to the woodshop!
They found Papa and Tegan hard at work~
So they got busy too!
Mya got in on the action as well.


Hours of fun!
Looking good~ Rick stops by for a quick visit.
The finished product~
Boy was this game fun...
except for the power of the WILL TO WIN
(Boy are my kids competitive!)
Look out~ 
These sticks can hurt you~ but by all means, 
GET THAT KING!
Look it up and try it!

We went to Beckie's for pizza and fun!
We waited for Danny to make it in from Breckinridge!
All smiles after the long drive home with...
The Funky Komadina
and her sweet older sister
Kayla!
Now all we had to do was wait for Bri and Cyle!
