I just packed up a house in June of last year and I'm doing it again. Of course during one of the busiest months of the year for me as well. Isn't that how it always is? So , I should be packing but here I am catching up on February..someday I will be caught up. This year is a big birthday year, kids turned 8. This means, cub scouts, activity days, 3 birthday parties, and too many cupcakes to count. I have survived and am still sane. We still have the baptisms coming up in March but will head back to Az for that. This is why packing has not been a priority and now I am way behind. That and after all this fun the stomach flu has invaded our house and I have the worst cold ever! Here are a few photos of our fun filled Feb.
Isa's party was first, games, food, crafts!
Then came the actual birthday which also fell on the Blue and Gold Banquet. The boys loved it, and the birthday theme with magician included made it even better.
Happy Birthday!
The Blue and Gold Cake
Spaghetti anyone?
Two more birthday parties the following Saturday.....
It was a space theme and the initial planet cake become a fighting space alien one. :)
After the 10-12 party came the 1-3 party. The boys had a great time...lot's of wrestling, flag football in the basement and of course, flying UFO's and making space blubber.
Then the following Friday Isa went to her first Daddy daughter and it was a Sock Hop. She says it was the most fun she has ever had.

Wow I can not believe how big they are getting. Are they really turning 8 years old???? that is amazing. I am excited that you will be coming back to Mesa for a little bit. I will have to come to their baptisms with my Mom.
They ARE getting big WOW!! Happy Happy Birthday to them all from the Strehle's!!
So fun! I'm so impressed at how you did 3 seperate birthday parties for each of your kiddos. Lots of Moms would have had one big one or maybe 2, one for Isa and one for the boys but not you. You always do things up right! It looks like they were a big success and lots of fun.
I think your house looks like it will be great. I love it. Maybe you'll have to get rid of the mini van and get a 4 wheel drive vehicle for the drive way.
It's fun to check in on you!
Take Care,
JoLynn
