Corbin's Birthday

WOW! I can't believe he is already ONE. My baby is growing up way too fast. We didn't do a whole lot for his birthday (sorry Corbin) because we had a birthday party for Riley and didn't feel right asking people over AGIAN for another birthday party. So we went up to Spokane Valley, went shopping for him and ate at Wingers. I was hoping they would sing to him but no such luck. they juts gave him a free asphalt pie. So we went to Wal Mart that night and bought some cupcakes. We celebrated with everyone Sunday afternoon. We gave Corbin the whole cupcake for him to demolish. HE HAD A BLAST!!!!! He was covered in frosting but loved every minute of it. When you would look at him he would just giggle. Anyway, I love you Corbin.

Happy Birthday!!

Lakewood & Portland

K so this really was supposed to be posted almost 2 months ago but I lost all of our pictures when our hard drive died. So I don't have any pictures of the zoo but it was tons of fun.

In celebration of birthdays we took the Labor Day weekend and visited the clan in Washington. We had cake and ice cream at Ron & Jodi's with Ilene, Rick & Lynda, Celeste, & Carissa and all their kids. Jodi made a separate cake for Ilene.

This cake was for Riley (3), Daniel (35), & Corbin (1)


Natalie enjoying her cupcake

Riley trying to figure out how to eat the rest of his cupcakeNotice the table is ALL cleared off. Everyone was in the living room talking when Natalie decided she wanted another cupcake. When no one would get it for her she took upon herself to retrieve another cupcake. This is her climbing on the table. No one saw her climb the table, she was caught after she had the cupcake in her hand and was climbing on the table. When she is determined nothing stops her.

We then on Sunday took a trip to Portland to see Paul (Daniel's brother) and his girls. We had not seen them in over 5 years. We met at the Portland Zoo and then ate at Fuddruckers. Riley had a BLAST. He flirted with Sarah & Katy and had fun playing with Jake & Seth.

Riley Turned 3

We recently celebrated Riley's 3rd birthday on September 3. We reminded him that his birthday was one week away, then 3 days, then one day. So when we would tell him how far away his birthday was he would often remind us. He has grown up so much. We had a birthday party for him at our home and invited a lot of his friends from the ward. He helped choose the Disney/Pixar Cars theme. So we created invitations online ordered a "cupcake cake" and decorations. We even found a pinata that was lighting McQueen. Riley had tons of fun. He really liked the pinata and even still talks about it. He went that evening for a few hours and had a part with his Dad and then Friday He had a birthday party with his mom. I don't know if a toddler can ever get sick of too much birthday. Especially when he gets presents at each party. Overall I think he had a great birthday.

Riley's cupcake cake. I think having him the center of attention made him

nervous so he wouldn't blow out his candle.

I LOVE the cupcake idea. So perfect for small children
