5th B'DAY PARTY TIME!

About to head out to my baby girl's 5th birthday party!

Poor Mag trying to hold her pose with Mac pulling on her necklace.



Not so much wanting her picture taken.  If fact, she'd turn her head, swat her arm at me, and hollar "no!"  Little heifer.



"Surfin' USA..."  So reminds me of a little surfer dude.

Arriving at the rec pool.

Swippin' him a kiss.

I love how much SK loves him.  She is precious.



This year, we had a joint party for these three monkeys.  Sawyer, Jake, and Mag are all two weeks apart.  Besides them being such great friends...Jamie, Lisa, and I loved splitting the cost of the pool.  Party went off without a hitch and we had a blast!  So much fun!



"Get your hands dirty and feed yourself, son!"  Or, just work it a while longer and let Papa do it for you.  Looks like Brett Paul is having no difficulties back there.

You never know what to expect with Tim around.

Or Stacey, for that matter.

Someone snatched my camera and I found this.  Really boys?

Little heifer chowing down.  BTW, she hasn't been Big, Fat Mary in some time.  But now, she's definitely earned her new title, Little Heifer.

Mac was over the moon to find a letter on the cake.

We sang "Happy Birthday" to each one separately.  Guess Sawyer took off to swim after she was done.

Cousin Alexa is partaking in the festivities.

Sweet Elaina enjoying some pizza.

Showing Uncle Danny his letter.

Well, it's not wedding cake but birthday cake is equally gross when being shoved up your nostrils.

Josh is such a good sport to put up with my crazy niece.

The Pedersen clan.

Cute, little Sawyer.  AKA Shug.

Mag was excited about trying the big slide.  She rocked it about 8 times.  So glad the lifeguards let the little ones go down.

Ember gave it a go also.  From the look on her face, I'd say she liked it.

"Yeah, I'm still eating pizza.  You got somethin' to say about it??"

Sam, relaxing a bit.

These two are so much alike.

Grandpaw on Mary duty.

Don't know who's having a harder time with baby girl growing up.  Me or her daddy.
