Cousins and a Birthday

Last week we spent a lot of time with our local cousins.  To be honest, all the activities wore me out.  Just being gone so much was too much.  Schedules were off, but fun was had.  

This should have been the first clue that our lunch date at Red Robin was not going to go well with the cousins.  Tired and cranky.

At least someone's excited for her birthday lunch (a day early) 

On this beauties actual birthday, we made cupcakes, hair, painted nails, and created a whole lot of chaos in the 2 hours before we were to met the cousins again for a water play date.  The birthday girl chose the activity...splash pad and park.  Securely transporting her cupcakes to the park.
Happy 8th Birthday, Jayla!

Side note:  Don't trust kids to pick the right size when shopping.  A few weeks before this day, we were shopping and she saw this dress and wanted it for her birthday.  I said okay since it was on clearance.  I told her to make sure it was her size, an 8.  After I took this picture I kept thinking that the straps looked tight by her armpits.  I thought nothing more.  Until I washed it and went to hang it to dry.  I was shaking it to loosen up the wrinkles and noticed the tag...it says size 4!  Um...Jayla!?!  Oh well, looks like Sterling has a dress waiting for her next summer!

Wore out while waiting for the cousins to arrive 





This girl had her suit on, but after our picnic lunch she decided to take a poop in it.  What fun to clean that up!  Thanks girl! 

After we got home, Jayla opened up her birthday gifts from us...she LOVED them!  She got the Friends Dolphin Cruiser that she wanted 

Pure excitement! 



On Sunday we had baseball tickets to the local minor league.  It was the kids' first time.  It was miserably hot so we only stayed until the top of the 5th inning.  We had awesome seats, just 3 rows back from the field, right behind home plate.  

Xander loved the mascot...a green storm chaser?
 

Last week we were over packed on the schedule so this week we are laying low.
