Dane's Birthday Pool Party!

Another 3rd Birthday Party!!

This time it was for Clayton's cousin Dane... and it was our first pool party! Time for lunch... Ryan, Dane & Carin Happy Birthday, to you!

Dane was so excited... he gave a round of applause after everyone finished singing to him!

Waiting patiently for cake...

Clayton trying to eat his lunch so he could have cake... Mom finally just gave in and let him have the cake. He was too excited to even eat anything and we ended up taking our cake home with us!

Cole and Uncle Warren played for a long time!

Of Course you have to take a swim break when there are monster trucks in the back yard!

Cole was SO excited! He yelled at Clayton until I finally put him in the truck! Then when I took him out... oh, geez... you would have thought I was trying to rip his left arm off!

Cole checked out Travis... he was amazed by someone smaller than him! Can't wait for the two of them to play together!

Birthday Boy Dane was King of the Pool on his raft!

Kyra & Ryan... Say Cheeeeze!

Clayton wanted to be just like Dane... Ship Captain! He was content to float around for most of the afternoon!

Little Miss Chloe... Dane's future fiance!

Little Man, Travis... and Kyra, all decked out for a par-tay!

When Clayton finally Fully warmed up to the pool... it was time to head out! Thanks for a great party, Dane!! We'll have to get together and swim again soon!

A Trip to Sonoma Train Town!

The same weekend as the Oakland Zoo trip, we headed up to Sonoma Train Town for Braydon's 3rd Birthday party! Chris and I picked up lunch at the Sonoma Cheese Factory... next door to one of his favorite restaurants, the Swiss Hotel!

Then it was off to the party...

in the Yellow Caboose! What kid would not want to have their birthday party in a caboose?!

There's the Birthday Boy!

Dane & Clayton... double trouble is all I see... what about you?

The kids had a blast taking turns in the "chair upstairs"...

Happy Birthday, dear Braydon... Happy Birthday, to you!

A cupcake mess!

Kyra & Ryan play with Cole

They loved floating balloons "up into the air" in the caboose!
