Muddy Birthday Fun

My children's birthdays are 2 days apart so we have always had a combined birthday party. This year our theme was mud. Doesn't that sound great. We had plenty of it since it had rained for 2+ weeks straight before the party. People were contemplating building an ark. LOL Last year they ended up squirting each other with paint that was meant for paper and that gave me an idea. So, this year we cleared my garden spot and created a giant mud pit. It was a hit. Lots of mud. My garden will never be the same. After playing like pigs for a while, everyone had hot dogs and barbequed pot roast followed by cake and ice cream. Yummy. The weather was just perfect and everyone had a great time. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Happy Birthday!!!!!

Today is Bobbi's birthday. She is nine. Wednesday was Tyler's. He is six. Time sure does fly. So last night we had a small family supper and opened presents. They were so suprised when Granny gave each of them a Nintendo DS. Neither one has put it down since. (That will stop in a week or two. There has to be limits.)

They each gave the other a gift and then we had them hide their eyes so we could bring out their gifts from us (Mom & Dad). Granny manned the camera.

They were in total shock.

We had to go try them out right away.

Tyler still needs a bit of practice on his. It is an 18 inch and he is about a 17 inch. However, when he feels comfortable on it he will be able to keep up with the rest of us when we go on bike rides.

Now, I know what you are thinking, especially if you have read my other posts or know my family. You are wondering what we were thinking buying a STUNT bike(see the pegs on the wheels) for a girl with a broken arm. Did I mention it was her 3rd broken arm(same arm). She can't even ride it for at least 4 more weeks. Poor thing. She doesn't seem unhappy about it does she? Naw. Mom rode it for her. LOL!!! Plus all of her broken arms have been from her falling down. Just simply falling wrong, so why not have fun doing it. Maybe, (hopefully) this will be her last broken arm. They will have a friend party next weekend.
