April!! Birthday Month


Ok... So I thought that I should probably post something to acknowledge that my two children turned a year older this month. Kelton's birthday on the 3rd was a bit hectic to say the least I've been heavily involved with my calling in the Stake Sports so we threw in a happy birthday song in between getting home from work, changing, and back to the church in full futsal attire. On Friday we took him to The Pizza Factory in Ogden and invited a couple of his friends to join us! Thanks for coming Swartz's and White's and Adam and Cait!! We let the kids play on the bumper cars at Fat Cat's and played a few games before deciding it was definately past the younger kids bedtimes and retired to the respective homes. Kelton got the Wii game he had been begging for and some new hot clothes!! I can't believe my baby is 10!!!


And my other baby is 5!! Maili's birthday was on the 25th we took her to dinner at the "fire place" aka Tepanyaki with Gramma and Granpa both the ones that live close and the ones that live far far away. (LOL Don't ask) and Chloe accompanied Grandma and Grandpa that live far far away. That was the highlight of Maili's night. She also got some new clothes and a "High School Musical" MP3 player... which is already downloaded with TONS of disney music!! And a microphone that she can sing to high school musical songs with. She was thrilled to get a Polly Pocket from Nana that lives far far away and some Littlest Pet Shop toys from Nana that lives close. Then to top things off she was invited to have a sleepover at Nana's that lives far far away with Chloe. It was a bit heart breaking that Maili wanted to spend her birthday night with Nana but we let her go! On Saturday night after a long day we took the kids on the Front Runner to let them experience some piece of history. We hopped on the train about 7:00 rode it to Salt Lake and then back, never got off just sat on the top and watched people load and unload. It was fun to see the excitement in their eyes as the train rushed past all the traffic.


April is such a tough month for me because both ends of my kids turn a year older. Not to mention we throw in Clara's (niece) on the 4th Cait's (sister in law) on the 5th Mom and Dads Anniversary on the 12th and my newest little niece Zoe on the 17th. WHEW!!!


Happy Birthday to you all and have a great MAY!!

Dang it! I couldn't get all the b-days straight in April and we missed them all. It sounds like they all had a great b-day. So, you'll have to explain the nana close and nana far thing. Did you move? lol

Sandi Collings said...

LOL no we didn't move. But Maili would always get confused on which Nana's house we were going to so she started asking... is it nana that lives close or nana that lives far far away?? So my mom became nana that lives close and Marcia became nana that lives far far away(If she only understood how far far away far far away can be) My kids are so lucky to have two sets of grandparents that live so close.
