CF Bike-a-thon

We had the Bike-a-thon for Tori and Cystic Fibrosis Saturday morning...it was a beautiful morning and the kids had so much fun...it was such a good turn-out and raised around $4,000 for CF!

Few too many kids for Madison to do it....my extremely shy one in public

Sammy rode and rode and rode on that little trike

My big girl

Daddy finally "forced" the courage into Madison to ride one lap so I could get a picture...she is so good on her bike now I hated she wouldn't do it

Girls' 5th Birthday Party

The girls had their 5th birthday party Friday night. It was a perfect night for an outdoor party...I was worried when the night before was such bad weather. They wanted a Sofia the First party. We roasted hotdogs and s'mores like Princess Sofia in Troop Buttercup then we watched the episodes outside at Mimmy and Pops' house. It was so much fun!!!

 

Aunt Jessie carved these awesome Sofia pumpkins. I bought artificial so her hard work could be appreciated for several more years:) They turned out so cute!

Sam and Macey "patiently" waiting for all her friends to arrive

Thanks to Bebe for taking care of Owen during the party so I could focus on the girls

 Their party favor were camp chairs that they decorated when they got there and then watched the movie in them. Turned out well.

 

 

Baby Stewart enjoyed all the festivities from his stroller:)

 

They just wanted to run up and down the hill for the first hour...it's the little things :)

Eating eating eating!!



 S'more time!

 

 

Uncle D's gotee caught most of his s'more :)

 

Singing...Macey loves it...Madison a little embarassed

 

 

 Watching Sofia on "the bigscreen"...aka Mimmy and Pops' tennis wall

 

 

I had the girls' favorite things for breakfast on their actual birthday...donuts for Macey and chocolate for Madison. They were so excited and surprised!
