I'm not doing an update

I know I haven't touched this thing since December, and I'm not announcing "I'm back!", and I'm not updating on the last 6 months of my family's activities.  I just wanted to share some photos of Tucker's Robot birthday party with some people.  Hope you like it!  I had fun putting it together.

 This is the homemade robot pinata. Bet you couldn't tell it was homemade.

 The cakes.

 The spread.

 Getting ready to hit the pinata. I don't know why he has his cape on.

One of the things he asked for for his birthday was a missionary shirt for church (white shirt - got him a "future missionary" tag because he loves to dress up). Doesn't he look like a mini-man?

Can't imagine life without our little Tuck, and we can't believe he's been with us for 4 years already!  Love him!

Afton's Ballerina Birthday

Afton wanted a ballerina party for her 5th birthday. I can't believe she's already 5! Anyway, these are not in any particular order...

cute little friends wearing tiny crowns we made

we had the barbies out which was great for between activities!

the decorations...we made streamers out of plastic tablecloths. Thank you pinterest!


we had a "real ballerina" come to teach some ballet moves. (video below)
