Birthdays!

It is that time of year again...83.3% of this family have birthdays in the spring, so it always makes for a busy time. Havyn and Cole have birthdays one day apart. Now, I'm not a fan of birthday parties so I usually try to talk my kids into doing something as a family. I found a great place in El Paso called the Adventure Zone. The kids loved it so much, I just might be able to use it for all birthday parties for the next 10 years. I bought wrist bands for them which allowed unlimited play on go karts, bumper boats, mini golf, and the bungee trampoline. I could have gotten away with just buying passes for the go karts and the trampoline because that is all they wanted to do. We picked the perfect time of day to go, there were hardly any lines and they just jumped back and forth between the go karts and the trampoline. It was great! I sat at a nearby table and read my book while they had a blast!

Those of you who know Havyn well, know that she is independent, feisty, sassy, bossy, and that she thinks she can do anything! She had been watching her older sisters do flips on the trampoline and when it was her turn, she didn't hesitate at all! I was so surprised to look over and see her doing so many flips. She drew quite the crowd, it was pretty cute watching this little 5 year old flip over and over again. Click this link to see the video of her. Havyn video

Madison, Cole and Taylor up next for the go karts.

Ready, set, GO!

Havyn loved the go karts, she wanted to just keep going over and over again.

Cole getting high! :)

They had so much fun they grew mustaches!

A couple of Havyn's favorite gifts...

For Havyn's birthday dinner she picked Chicken Alabam (chicken cooked in a cream sauce eaten over rice, it is a family favorite) and broccoli.

I can't believe my little one is 6!!

Some of Cole's favorites....

Cole picked enchiladas verde for his birthday dinner (also a family favorite).

Cole is not a big fan of cake so each year I try to do something other than cake...this year I made him a candy cake. It was all candy and 2 weeks later he is still eating it. :)

Happy Birthday you two!
