This weekend our family made a trip to Reno Nevada to celebrate ALL THREE of my brother's children's birthday's! Abel 14, Abbey 4 & A.J. 3. My Mom also came to visit both families- ours & the Moore's- Thursday to Monday. It was great to see her surrounded by all the kids.
Not only are Adam J.R. & Abagail only 11 months apart- but their birthdays are only 22 days from the other! Then- 10 days later- it's Abel's birthday-
So A.J. was born on July 31st- Abby's is August 21st & Abel's is August 31st. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Adam's birthday & his wedding anniversary are both on July 9th! Lot's of reason's to celebrate life ; )
Cassie offered to donate her time & talent in creating cakes for the kids. Abby's current stage is anything Barbie or Disney Princess, so she used her experience from making Lexie's Fairy Cake to make an Abby look-a-like Barbie cake. Of course it was chocolate cake!
A.J.'s current stage is... hmmmm... anything with wheels- any action figure- any type of sport- oh yeah cowboys & let's see.. anything boy! Cassie settled on a Batman Cake for him. She started planning this cake out a month in advance- first drawing the dimensions on graph paper, then measuring & cutting out the windows from fondant & painting them with edible sugar paint. Super cool results and an honor to be a spectator of the overall process ; )
Another stage A.J. is in includes a) refusing to potty train b) refusing to wear any type of clothing other than a diaper! NICE! Stubborn? Uh, yeah- Adam JR IS HIS NAME! So A.J. spent the majority of the party running around in a saggy diaper- no shirt- no pants- no socks- no shoes. Well, that's not entirely true... at one point during Pinata time, his Daddy told him he had to have shoes on to participate- check out the pictures to see how he worked his way around that ; ) Again- ADAM JR....
One of our gifts to Abagail was a Barbie Karaoke Machine. As an Auntie, I personally think it's hilarious to give a 4 year old a Microphone to express herself. It's a funny thing to watch Adam's daughter out talk him! Overall, it was a-lot of fun to watch the kids play & enjoy being Auntie & Uncle. Although I do believe parenting toddlers is something intended for young couples- we were absolutely EXHAUSTED when we left!
