MacKelle's 6th Birthday

Birthdays at our house are looked forward to and planned for a while...We LOVE them! This year MacKelle wanted to do a Luau/swimming party. Here she is with her cake that that she helped me decorate...

 We had the whole pool to ourselves for most of the time...they were all so cute!

 Then everyone got a lei and we did cake and ice cream and presents. (Justin had a short amount of time with two-a-day football practices, so we had to fit that in while he was there)

 Here she is with her very first new bike (Justin said she could get one when she could ride on 2 wheels)

 She LOVES being the center of attention!!

 Then we had a hula-hoop contest...and limbo-ed...and finished it off decorating flip-flops with balloons and flowers.  It was a great day!! We love MacKelle and her super fun personality!! So glad for these last 6 years!!

Poor Trace and Tyson were the only boys (besides Mason), so they stuck together...

Sunflowers

Today we went to a sunflower field and took some fun pictures. Just wanted to share! :)

Porcupine Falls

 One of our new favorite places. Last time we went we had LOTS of kids and it was a little stressful, so this time Justin and I went on a date, just the two of us. It was really fun, so quiet and beautiful!

 This is the first glimpse of the falls that you see when you are coming down the trail.

 I took this picture of the flowers for MacKelle, since she loves purple and flowers!

 So Pretty!!

Do you see Justin in this picture? Kinda blends in, but I want ed to have him there to show how big the rock was. It was a fun date, we haven't gone hiking in years!

 Trace has been going to Camp Invention this week (he loves it-taking things apart, and making new things, being creative). Each day they have something fun to wear, or do, This was his do for "crazy hair day".

 Last weekend we went to the Park County Fair...Trace AND MacKelle climbed the rock wall. Trace got a lot higher than this picture, but I accidentally erased the picture of him at his highest.

 I was pretty suprised that MacKelle wanted to try it. It isn't her type of thing...I thought she would be too scared.

 But look at her go!

 Each of the kids had their cartoon drawn.  That was impressive how they could draw them so fast with a permanent marker!

 And rides!!

It was a great night!
