Birthdays, Cookie Parties and Fun

My daughter has a really good friend who has a daughter (Kailey) that was having a birthday!  This is the cake that I made for her.  It was pretty fun to make.

Kailey had a princess party, so here is Princess Carlee and Princess Kailey.  They had tons of fun!

Earlier this month was the Festival of Trees in Arco.  The elementary school children all sing on the first day of the Festival.  Here is Collin's second grade class singing their Christmas songs.  He's in the middle with the red and white stripped shirt.  They were all so cute and sang very well!!

Carlee had a great time listening to all the singing.  Of course she was dancing all over the place!

Well looky here!!  Collin has finally lost his first tooth!!  WooHoo!!!

Kami hosted a Cookie Exchange Party at her house.

This is the table of all the cookies and candies that were brought!!  What a fun time!!

October Catch-up

I'm behind again!!  We'll start with Carlee's birthday...

My baby girl turned a big whopping 5 this year!!  She asked for a scary cake also.  But I knew I couldn't really go evil scary with her, so I came up with a girly skull cake for her.  She loved skeletons this year!!

Of course this grandma had to give her something pink too!

We also gave her a pack of Littlest Pet Shop characters.  Carlee loves animals!

Her she is showing them to her Grandma Jensen and Collin.

 Here's Dee, Collin and Mark playing XBox.  Had a hard time getting them to stop!

Now on to Halloween.  

These pictures are from the school Fall Festival.  It was so cold out, but we had lots of fun. 

Here's Carlee and Kailey getting ready for the activities.

Kami was in charge of the ring toss game.

Carlee and Kailey in front of the maze.

The girls milking their "cows" so that they can get a chocolate milk!

This water trough had bunnies and guinea pigs in it.  Carlee couldn't stay away from them.  I had to catch some of them so that she could pet them.

My handsome gangsta boy Collin!

Carlee and Collin could have had a ride on this cute little burro, but they were too chicken!!!

What a silly!!

Inside the maze.

Carlee made the rat bit her finger every time she walked by it.

Gangsta poses.

I think Collin has this one!!

Whew!  What a day!

Here are the gangsters that were already caught and in jail!!  lol

Matt's in the Army!

Just a quick little cake I did for Matt's going away party.  It was chocolate with cookies and cream filling, covered in buttercream. 

Collin's 7th Birthday

We were over run by ZHU ZHU's!!  Collin had to have a Zhu Zhu's for his birthday and TOLD me that I had to make him a Kung Zhu type cake.  Decided to make the cake look some what like the battle arena for the little critters.  Oh and he insisted on a lime cake! 

Here's the little darlin'! 

I was glad to have Mark home with me that day.  I had little miss Carlee, so Mark kept her busy so I could work on the cake.  Mark also made the little pets to go on top and I just painted them.

PRESENT TIME!!

A ninja guy from his cousin Alec.

A Bakugan from Mark.

Pikachu from Carlee.

This grandma gave Collin 4 Kung Zhu pets and one battle armor.  I wrapped each one separate and put each of them in another box and then put the box in a gift bag.  Collin started cracking up when he saw all the boxes inside the other box.

More Zhu Zhu stuff from his mom and dad.

Sweet little Carlee and her "sister". (one of their neighbors)

Collin and Alec.  They are both growing up so fast!!

Here's some of the Zhu Zhu frenzy!

4th of July Weekend 2010

Woowee!!!  

I am so far behind in posting again!  July has been a very busy month!! 

Here are pictures of our Independence Day fun.  We started in Arco with the 4th of July Parade.

Okay...let's get this show on the road!!

Kami, Collin and Carlee waiting some what patiently for the parade to start. 

The kids really could wait for the candy that the parade participants throw out to them.  It's the only reason they want to go!!!!  The parade was very short.  It's too bad that more people don't enter this parade like they do for Atomic Days, but it is a holiday and I'm sure a lot of people leave town.

We are now in Idaho Falls to watch the BIG fireworks that evening.  We have to camp our all day to keep our spot.  The kids had tons of fun and they were very good through the whole thing.

Getting in the spirit!!

Sweet!!!

Of course there were lots of things to buy and play with.

Grandma Tina came later for the fireworks.  Collin loved see how huge the fireworks were up close, but Carlee was scared of the loud noises and made herself fall asleep!  That's her way of shutting things out.  

It was so worth going to though, except for getting out of the crowd and where we parked.  Took a good hour of bumper to bumper cars and we were just a block away from the road we needed to get on to go home!!  Whew!!
