Evan't 8th birthday party - Part 1

Too many pictures for just one post...

(I love my Silhouette.  I made all the invitations, water bottle lavels, signs, etc. with the Silhouette and printed them out.  LOVE!)

Lagoon 2012

Pooped out....he fell asleep during the song and dance show we sat down to watch

kids are not meant to stay up until 11:00. I've always known this, but this proves it.  They just laid down on the ground waiting to leave during a bathroom break before we got into the car.

We left Asia home with Trista.  It was a good thing we didn't take her,  but it felt like someone was missing the whole day.  I had to keep counting heads to make sure we hadn't lost anyone.  It's funny how things just don't seem right when someone isn't with us. 

Summer Crafts

My kids love to make things so we had a couple of craft days and made some 4th of July crafts...
