Ridge's 6th Birthday

When asked what he wanted to do for his birthday, Ridge asked if we could all go skiing together as a family. So that is what we did! Nothing fancy, no big party....which was so nice!  We went the day before his actual birthday, as his birthday fell on the same day as the Denver Broncos playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens...BOOOO! I'm still bitter about the Broncos losing. A few close friends and family came over for the game on his actual birthdate (January 12th), we ate dinner together and of course cake and ice cream....A LEGO cake per Ridge's request.  I tried...




Happy Birthday to the sweetest, most thoughtful & handsome 6 year old I know!  I love you SO very much kiddo.

P.S. skiing pictures to come!

Noah's Birthday 2012...The BIG 3!

Noah has a thing for the movie DESPICABLE ME...if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it!  It is a movie that is entertaining for all generations.  Noah can quote almost any part of the movie when prompted, it is so cute!  So a DESPICABLE ME themed party was the obvious choice for his birthday this year (technically last year I guess since his birthday was December 17th and I am not posting until now).  I had the idea for the cupcakes in mind for quite some time, and had a mini-stroke when the whole Hostess Bankruptcy Fiasco went down!  As soon as I heard I tried to get my hands on at least a couple boxes of Twinkies, with no luck.  Thankfully Walmart came to the rescue with Great Value Brand "Golden Sponge Cakes"....who knew?!
We had his party at the Blackfoot Community Center where the boys do Gym every week....very affordable, and SO MUCH FUN!
A great BIG thank you to all who celebrated our little miracle man with us!  We would not be where we are today without each and every one of you!
