Birthday Parties

Well it has been awhile since I posted. We have been out of town. We went to California to celebrate my Grandma's 80th birthday and then we stayed for the week and celebrated Chanse's 4th birthday with the family. For Grandma's birthday we had a dinner and a fun filled 3 1/2 hour talent show because G-ma loves to be entertained by her family. I have been teaching a dance class to Chanse, Hero and there cousins Lucy and Sofia. Our dance class performed for G-ma's birthday. All of the great grandchildren danced to happy birthday princess and G-ma was crowned the birthday queen. It was really sweet. Chanse, Hero, and Sterling also did the Dinosaur Stomp. SO cute and My sister and I did pep flags to Celebration and we threw balls to the kids with there names on it. The kids loved it. The sad part about the evening was my camera died so I didn't get many pictures. I am really bummed so hopefully someone got some pics. of my kids on stage. Grandma got up and shared memories of each grandchild and gave them something. I got a Strawberry Shortcake ribbon and a basket of strawberries that Grandma forgot to bring but I think I ate them that morning for breakfast. Woopsies!!! They were yummy!!!

Well we had lots of fun the rest of the week hanging out with family going to the park playing in the sand in the back yard and getting ice cream. We walked to rite aid and got ice cream. Yummy thrifty's chocolate malted crunch. Hero liked it too.

To end our fun filled week we went to Disneyland with Mom, Heidi, Eliza, Cami, Scott, Chris, Amber, and Emerald. Kenny met up wit us later. We finally went on Nemo I am not sure if I love it or not. You see Hero had a hard time on the rides. ON Nemo there was a part where bubbles filled the window of the sub and Hero freaked out. SO the kids were unsure of things at times and Hero was pretty much scared of everything. But she does say she wants to go back. She is silly. She hates the carousel. She liked the electrical parade and Winnie the Pooh, and Monster's Inc. ride. She also like Playhouse Disney (I miss Bear in the Big Blue House) and the Jedi Training show, Eliza, Cami, and Scott got picked. Sterling was cheering so cute she also said "Wow" during the electrical parade.

Chanse pretty much had a blast. He went on Soar'n over California and loved flying in the air. HE also get this loved Splash Mountain. The big disappointment was we got on the train and it broke down and he didn't get to see the dinosaurs. Poor kid so we did the little Casey Jr. Train. He loved Buzz Lightyear and after the second time we went on he said "I want a Zurg costume." Silly boy. But the best part of the day was we celebrated Chanse's birthday with Micky and Minnie. We got to decorate cakes and Mickey and Minnie sang happy birthday and it was a blast. I hope you enjoy these pics. Oh one last thing on this trip Sterling started to say ball.

Then on Tuesday June 17th we celebrated Chanse's birthday with a Pirate party. It was a really windy day. We made pirate hats and went on a treasure hunt. The kids had to walk the plank and swim with alligators and go through a jungle and climb big rocks and go through a cave. And they found the X and there was the treasure. I also made a pirate ship cake. It turned out so cute.
