Our Cousin Lillian

I am way behind in my blogging- sorry. I don't have much personal time these days. Anyway, I am going to backtrack...in April my brother, Ryan came down for a visit with his wife and daughter. We hadn't seen Lilli in a year, since she was a baby, so we were so excited. It was a great visit. The kids really love Lillian.

In the beginning Lilli was overwhelmed, rightfully so since I have three very busy kids who were all very interested in her. But by the end she was jumping right in there. It was great to get to spend time with her! Meghan, my sister-in law, is pregnant with there second daughter- we can't wait to meet her!

iPhone Training

I was shocked to see William grab my iphone and use his finger to scroll down the screen, like a pro. I do read the news and play on it while nursing but I had no idea he was paying attention.

The Circus Came to Town

We celebrated Chase's 5th birthday this weekend with a circus themed party at a nearby park. We had game booths, photo booth, bounce house and clowns to keep everyone entertained. Chase wanted to run the ticket booth, giving out game tickets and prize bags to the guests as they arrived, it was really funny. But even after the guests arrived I had to drag him away from the ticket booth, he probably would have "worked" the whole time. The clowns were great! They ran some games, painted faces, and did balloon twisting. Olivia asked for a Cinderella balloon and it was amazing. Chase had his face painted with a picture of his mommy- seriously so sweet! We had some traditional carnival food- popcorn, cotton candy, caramel apple slices, corn dogs, lemonade, and roasted cashews. We had so much fun! When we got home Olivia said, "Mommy, I don't want a princess party anymore. I want my own circus party!"
