Birthday Bash

August was pretty much birthday central around here!  Our baby Bella turned one August 4 and our first baby Jayden turned the big three August 20.  We decided to have a double party this year at our house on August 11.  I have SO many pictures from the birthdays and party, so here is your warning that this is a picture heavy post of SOME of the pictures!

On Bella's actual Birthday, my family came to our house to spend the day with us.  We had dinner together and a special birthday cookie cake I made! 

"i think i like this cookie cake thing"

After celebrating, we started working on some photo opp props for the party!  Good thing my mom is artistic and could draw Thomas, James, and Percy on these posters.... thanks, mom! 

And thank you to Norm and Kristen for helping us paint!!!

My next project was to make a train track out of graham crackers and oreos for the wheels to go around the dining room table carrying the cupcakes.  This was a fail.  I couldn't get the oreos to stick well enough, so I scratched that project and made a train track out of construction paper... you will see what it looked like in future pics the day of the party!

The day before the party... my little cupcake baker helper!!!

And the night before the party, Stacy was a huge help making fruit kabobs with me and J.  =)

this was taken before jayden poked his hand with the stick..... oopsie!

 Finally, it was party day!  Here are a LOT of pictures from the party!!!!

Thank you to all of our family and friends who helped make Jayden and Bella's birthdays a success!  We had a great day!!!!

On Jayden's actual birthday (August 20) his Sprout Birthday card was on TV again!  I will try to post the video later, but if you are on Facebook, it is posted on there!  How awesome is that!!!! 

Happy Birthday to Jayden and Bella!!!!  =)
