Brent's Star Wars Birthday Party

So this weekend I am throwing Brent and Anna "friend" Birthday Parties. Brent's was last night and was a Star Wars sleep over. As a party favor I made some light sabers for the boys. . .I was pretty happy with how they turned out so here is a picture.

Brent's friends Malachi, Brenner and Jaz where all able to come and celebrate with us. Below are some pictures highlighting the fun we had. . .

We had pizza, fruit drinks and cupcakes with a table cloth you could color on.

Jaz got Brent this cool foam bullet gun. . .a very popular gift at the party!

Malachi got him an Anakin Star Wars figure. .. one of Brent's favorite Star Wars characters! You can also see both of them sporting their Star Wars T-shirts. . .too cute!

Brenner got Brent Transformers, which is becoming a new favorite for Brent and it was exactly what he had been asking for, and a pouch for school with some supplies.

They had some fun pretend fighting with their light sabers. . .Anna especially!

They got to jump on the air mattress while Andrew tried to shoot them with the foam bullet gun! :)
Then we finished off the night with a little Star Wars Legos on X-Box. Overall it was a really fun evening, even though Brenner was the only one to make it through the night without going home, it was a fun party and sleep over. . . though I am glad it is over! ;)

Anna's 3rd Birthday

Anna's Birthday was July 15th. She turned 3! We had a little family party for her that day and here are some of the pictures of that and some of the things she got.

This is Anna with her favorite birthday present. . .I don't think she has put this down since she got it. This Tinkerbelle comes with little green shoes that can be put on and taken off. Anna likes to take the shoes off but can't quite get them back on herself, so she has been asking me to put them back on for her. Well last night I thought the kids were both in bed asleep. Andrew and I went to bed and were both asleep, when Anna comes into our room at 3am asking me to put Tinkerbelles shoes back on. I was half asleep, so I put them back on, she went back to her room and I checked the clock before falling back asleep. It didn't hit me till I woke up the next morning that it was a little odd that Tinkerbelle would need her shoes put back on at 3am. . .I am now wondering how long Anna stayed up last night playing with her.

This is Anna with all her presents and birthday flowers. If you couldn't tell she is a big fan of anything pink. She is truly a girlly girl.

This is one of the outfits she got from G-ma Wahlquist that she just had to wear the next day. She is also sporting one of her classic Anna looks! She is such a character and is always either so much fun or VERY exasperating!

Harris Family Reunion in Montana

Last weekend we went to the Harris Family Reunion in Great Falls Montana. It was my first time in Montana, so it was really fun that one of the things we did was a sites of Great Falls scavenger hunt. We were given a list of places to find and take a picture of it. Here are some of the pictures of the places we got to see.

This is a picture of one of the damned falls.

This is the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center. It cost money to go in so we just got to see the outside of the building and the lovely sign.

So, you can't see it in the picture but there were windmills in the background that we were suppose to get a picture of. . .we just thought the kids with their pinwheels made for a better, up close picture.

Overall it was a really fun trip. . .long drive. . .but fun. We got to see and catch up with family, the kids did really well and even Toby was good the whole time. Can't ask for much better than that!

Brent's 5th Birthday

July 9th was Brent's birthday and we had a little family party. G-ma Wahlquist got him the presents seen in the picture. . .if you couldn't guess he LOVES Star Wars.

Andrew and I got him the bike. He loves the horn. . .we VERY quickly regretted adding that feature!

Overall it was a really fun day, and Brent had a lot of fun. I can't believe my little boy is getting so big.

4th of July Parade

Brent and Anna's daycare had a 4th of July Parade today. The kids got to make their hats and vest/signs. They marched around the daycare parking lot to patriotic type music. It was super cute!

Brent's Pre-school/Daycare Graduation

Brent "graduated" from pre-school last Friday. It was a cute event, and Brent seemed pretty pleased with himself!

This is Brent with his friend Bruce and Anna on the side enjoying some cake at the graduation.
