Gymnastics, handing out bday treats, ji jitsu and getting manure

Mrs. Wilson sent a pictue of Adeline handing out her birthday treat to her class.

Loving her birthday present from Sister Madsen.

Playing the dot game with Collin while waiting for Evelyn at gymnastics.

This is a hard move for Evelyn because she has to really push up on both sides, but she is getting better.

Handstand practice.

I love catching her ponyail in the air!

Now the girls are waiting and doing homework while Liam does ji jitsu.

Practicing his moves.

Practicing tying our shoes while at the eye dr. She has to get a new prescription so the heart glasses may be going away :( that will be so strange to see her not without heart glasses if she chooses others.

More hard moves for Liam.

And after last year not getting it, we got another load of manure delivered a few days ago. This is always a very exciting day!

Adeline was big enough to help this year! She was ecstatic!

 

Whitewashing the brick and Liam gets back to ji jitsu

When my dad was down here for Adeline's birthday, we started the first step of white washing our brick to paint them a little differently to match our new house colors.

It looks nice!

And FINALLY after being sick for almost a whole week and missing the whole first week of the month, Liam got back to ji jitsu. I stayed with the girls in the background and took a few pictures.

He learned a lot from this older teen that was helping the class.

I don't totally get most of the moves, but I know Liam enjoys it so that is good!
 

Adeline's 6th birthday

Birthday prep the night before. Adeline STILL remembers her "big number" balloons and requests them every year so had to run around trying to find a 6 for her.

She was so so happy to see the balloon!

Good morning birthday girl!

Birthday breakfast request, crepes and strawberry sauce and whipped cream.

Since it was a school day, and Liam had ji jitsu and Collin had work, I told Adeline we wouldn't be able to do AS many fun things as other days possibly. But during ji jitsu we went to the park nearby and it was fun. And the weather was GORGEOUS! It hit 80 degrees that day! I told Adeline I'm so happy you have such beautiful weather on your birthday!

Grandma and Grandpa came down for her birthday which was so so nice. She requested Italian sliders for dinner, which was nice and easy.

Present opening time, her favorite part! She got quite a bit of birthday money which she was very, very excited about! "I'm rich!" she kept saying.

Evelyn was SO sweet and gave her one of her own $1 and a sweet note and some stickers.

Collin gave her the other half of his massive gummy bag which SHE LOVED!

"I do NOT like cake anymore mom. I want brownies and ice cream for my birthday!" YEAH!

And the candles even lit up in different colors. We love you Adeline!
