What We Were Up To This Weekend - Cookouts, Dance, and Birthday Fun!

Friday night, Claire invited us and the Stones for a cookout at their house.
The weather was so nice and the kids had a lot of fun playing outside.
Playing soccer 
Playing in the water 
Riding the jeep - Ella's face in this picture sums up how she felt all night.  She was NOT in a good mood and everyone around her knew it!  This girl can get attitude when she doesn't get her way! 
 
Saturday morning I worked for a little while
And I came home to this pretty princess! 
 
Then we worked on party preparations for Owen's 1st Birthday!
And this sweet boy fell asleep in my lap and I got to snuggle with him :) 
We made dinosaur cookies for his party and Ella wanted to help too! 
Snack time 
Ella is such a little mommy to Owen. 
 
Then Ella and I headed to Lena's dance recital on Saturday night
She was ready with her juice and blanket 
Lena and her friend in one of their costumes
These two love each other - giving Eskimo kisses 
Lena did so good!  She went on stage all by herself and knew all the moves!
Way to go Lena!
 
Sunday was Youth Sunday at church so the kids sang - it was Ella's first time on stage and I was nervous but she did so good! 
 
Ready to sing - she was smiling and waving at everyone!
The whole group! 
They sang the cutest songs - one was the "Hokie Pokie - Give your heart to Jesus and you turn yourself around" and the kids loved it!

After church we went to Owen's 1st Birthday Party!
The birthday boy and his mama 
Ella trying to get back in the party! 
 This girl enjoyed her cupcake!
Owen ready to dig in his cake! 
 Mama gave Owen "the Littlefoot" that Kent had when he was little and all his Land Before Time stuff since it was a dinosaur themed party!
The sweet birthday boy! 
All the kids at the party! 
The kids love playing with Uncle Kent 
Happy 1st Birthday Owen!  We love you!
 
Another busy but fun weekend!
