The long awaited day finally came (and went, hallelujah!). Cole has been excited all summer for his birthday. The celebration seemed to last a full week again this year. Cole went birthday shopping with my mom on Friday (more about that adventure later:) and Tuesday was his actual birthday. Weston was going to be out of town for Cole's birthday so we started celebrating a little early. He had his buddy Jeter over all day on Monday and then we let him open his presents. Last year for Christmas he got a Playmobil Knights Castle. He and the neighbor boys have spent hours playing with that and he wanted a few extensions and accesories to go with it.
(Had to capture this tired dirty face in the midst of all the excitement!)
The Mideval House and barn was a great addition along with a bunch of people and bad guys. Cole and Jeter played for awhile longer and then Weston and I took Cole and Hagen to Pizza Pie Cafe (Cole's favorite). Kallie was at girl's campout with G&G Crapo.
On Cole's actual birthday morning he was excited for a stack of "baby" pancakes with a candle. It was just me and him and Hagen and we had fun blowing that candle out a bunch of times. Hagen was overjoyed! (My kids like me to make them real small??)
When Weston is gone we pass the time by playing, a lot:) This day was no exception and Cole chose Rigby Lake for the day's adventures. He invited his best buddy Skylar along for the fun and we had the cousins come too.
Instead of cake or cupcakes Cole wanted Maple Bars, good choice buddy! The kids loved them and gobbled them all up and then it was a full day of fun in the sun.
Trying to take a decent picture of these goofballs all together is basically impossible, but we try!
Hagen loved being burried in the sand but asked for his glasses because the sun was so bright. We had to stand over him and shade him the whole time.
Bentley the beautiful! Love to watch this girl with her sassy little attitude play.
And apparently you need a man sized shovel to have a good time at Rigby Lake. Kade is so much fun lately!
Cole and Skylar were basically MIA the whole time. They finally came and played in the sand for awhile right before we left. They swam around the rest of the time. I love these two buddies.
These two pretend they don't adore each other, but I find them giggling and goofing off more and more all the time lately. Fingers crossed they stay good friends.
I made Cole get a picture with his pregnant white mama. He was embarrassed! (And recently decided that he needs to do the peace sign in every picture I take of him.) To end a great birthday Cole had his very first football practice. He was pretty excited to play for sure.
