Birthday Parties, 3 of them in one week!

We had 3 birthday parties this past week, aahhh!! It actually turned out to be a whole bunch of fun, each was very different and Katie had a blast at each one. On Saturday we had 2 parties, the 2nd party of the day was for our next door neighbors Maddux, who turns 3 in about three weeks, and Dylan who turned 1 the day before the party (that's Dylan above).
Sheri, her sister and friend Heather made cute farm themed cupcakes.
Michael, with his stitches from falling at the pool.
We turned the corner to get the birthday cake only to find Katie with her fingers in the cake, I'm sure Alex had nothing to do with it?!
The kids clamoring around the cake.
Farmer Tripp.
Lydia holding the singing cow, which was a huge hit! Oddly enough it sang "Blue Moon" and the kids were fighting over it!
Adeline.
Birthday boy Maddux.
Maddux and Alex enjoying some cake.
Dylan enjoying his cake as well, can you tell?
Makenzie turned 5 this week and we had her birthday party earlier in the day, right before Maddux and Dylan's party. Her party was at Tiny Tumblers, a gym for kids 7 and under.
Addison on the trampoline.
The birthday girl hopping off of the spring board.
All of the party guests, minus Addison who was running over to say hi to her mother.

Singing "Happy Birthday" to Makenzie.
Katie LOVED her cupcake.
So did Addison, and I still say this picture should be on a box of cake mix! (She's adorable!)
The final game, playing in the parachute.
Back at Makenzie's house to open up gifts, do you think she likes them?
The first party of the week was for Katie's classmate Luke, he turned 4 and had a John Deere themed party at his farm.

Cooper walked right over and announced that he had to sit between the girls.
Me and Katie, I wish she would have looked at the camera!

Katie and Luke, so adorable, they both can't wait to start school!

Our Beach Vacation

Last week, August 7th-14th we went to Rehoboth Beach with Nat's family, our 2nd annual Burt Family vacation. We had a blast, Katie enjoyed the beach, but not the ocean and fell in love with Funland on the boardwalk. Enjoy the pictures, most need no explanation!
Katie and Nat on the beach.
My favorite picture, she's so happy.

Her only moment in the water, a wave knocked her down.


Digging.
Playing frisbee on the beach, it was a really misty day.
Almost.
Katie and Grandma.
Grandma and Grandpa.
Aunt Christy and Uncle Jarrett (and baby!)
On our way to FUNLAND!

Hilarious.

She went right for the chopper.

Cute pose for a trucker.
This ride made us all sick, not physically, but we didn't want to do it again! It went really fast forward and then went backwards, not so easy on the tummy. So Uncle Jarrett stepped up to the plate and took one for the team when Katie wanted to go for the third time.
Still looking happy.
They made it!
Katie and Uncle Jarrett playing Wii golf, she had just made a putt.........I think she beat us all! Seriously.
Nat flying the kite.
Katie and Grandpa working on getting it up there, we picked the only day that had zero wind!

Go Grandpa!

Sweet little feet.
