Lindsay's turns 6

Friday, August 17, 2012

Look at these kids!!! Lauren 7-4mo, Lindsay SIX, Laynee 5-8mo, Clay & Carter 5-1/2... all going to Kindergarten! Well except Ms. Lauren... entering into 2nd (sigh). I just don't understand how it's possible.

This is Bailey's Ford campground where we camped the weekend after the 4th of July. We wanted to camp again, Lindsay deserved a birthday party for turning 6, and Levi was turning 1!  So... we decided to combine all of the above and have a birthday celebration weekend camping :D  Here is Wiam once again stating, "I am a big-girl too!"

Sara showed up with a HUGE butterfly balloon for Lindsay's birthday :)  that Lydia wanted all the time...

Clay being such a great big-brother to LeaAnn :D

Just out for a stroll...

Here's the birthday boy! Levi's birthday was today, 8/17/12

Saturday, 8/18 we deemed the 'party.'  This picture is short a few little people :) Syd, Miles & Jace opted not to be in the picture ;) Levi wishes he could join them! :D

We played a few chase games that proved to be a bit difficult to do :)

And opted for musical chairs, which turned out to be a huge hit!

And in the end, Owen was the winner! As you can see from his face he was ecstatic :D

Sigh... again. 7 & 6

8/19/11 - 6 & 5

8/19/10 - 5 & 4

8/19/09 - 3 & 4!!! Btw - the Dora outfit Linds has on is now one of Lydia's favorites :)

8/17/08 - 3 & 2 - Cyclone hats compliments of Lacy Short :D

8/25/07 - 2 & 1 - a few days after her birthday at a parade with Aunt Jody

tear!!! Just a little carried away here :) couldn't stop myself once I got started... Lauren meets new baby-sister Lindsay Rae... Lauren was 16-months...

Back to the present!!! :D
The biggest hit though was the scavenger hunt... we had them run from one of the campground to the next :)

The girls got smart and grabbed their bikes ;)

Levi enjoying the show! He is the cutest one-year-old I have ever seen!!!

The prize bags were in the back of Chris' truck...

Where LeaAnn found a newspaper to read ;)

'glow-stick' masks...

they were really cute

Dustin & Levi

Lydia insisted... "It's my birthday and I'm turning six!"  Notice the birthday crown on her head??

Delicious cakes :)

the 'pseudo' birthday girl waiting patiently for cake to eat ;)

I looked and I couldn't find any other 'family' pics w/Lindsay on her birthday... so this will be the start to that tradition :)

Waiting patiently to blow out her candles ;)

I love this face :)

Happy birthday Lindsay!

Opening presents... a really cool kite from Evan, Owen, Miles & Syd!

New book & clothes from Mimi :)

Adorable!

This is the next morning, Sunday, 8/19/12 - LeaAnn eating her donut

and the birthday girl :)

That afternoon, Chris tried getting the kite in the air... just wasn't quite enough wind.

But not to worry, b/c just last week, there was enough wind, and the kite likes to fly and fly-high!! I had it going when the girls got off the bus :)

Love this picture of LeaAnn

It was a wonderful birthday weekend :D
