Birthday celebration #2

Cody's family always has monthly parties for each person's birthday. Paxi is one of the only June birthdays-so she gets to be the star of the show (not that she isn't already when we're there!) Cody's aunt Becky and her cousins, Halle & Mia, were so sweet and decorated grandma's house with a Dora theme. If you can't tell, Pax is obsessed with all things Dora. She was super excited to see all the fun decorations. =) They did a great job.

I LOVE Sunday dinners at Cody's grandma and grandpa's. It gets a little crowded at times, but it's worth it and great for Pax to be apart of it. My family is so small and Cody's HUGE, but by this point she's pretty used to all the noise and people.

Pax is so loved and everyone got her such nice things. It was a really fun time! Pax had a busy day and a very tiny nap--she was worn out by the time 8:00 rolled around!!

We went and swam Sunday at Halle & Mia's house. They were so good with Pax, playing ball with her and holding her in the water. She DID NOT want any of us to let her go, even with her life vest on. I tried to show her she would float with it on, but she wasn't having it.

That night was the dinner and birthday party...

Balloon fight with great-grandpa. =)

Guess where she wants to go?? OUTSIDE!! Grandpa has a golf cart that he rides around the farm and Pax is obsessed. We can't even get in the door before she remembers and starts hollering, 'CART, MOMMY??" She LOVES to ride it around the farm--




Mia, Paxi, & Halle. There are normally way more little cousins running around, but they all couldn't make it. I think Halle and Mia were happy to have Pax all to themselves. =) They made these cute flower decorations.

Ok, this is the funniest toy ever. I am not really sure how SAFE it is, but Pax loved it! Until she bit the dust and then she was over it. I let the girls take her outside and when I went out to check on her, she was sailing down this 'car coaster' 40 MPH!! I have to say, my heart skipped a beat or two.

I got a short little video of it...it was way funnier when she went down without us holding her. Her face is priceless.

WEEEE!!

She played in the water on the slip & slide with Halle & Mia. She never would go down, but she had a really fun time.

After dinner it was time for cake and presents. Grandpa and Bambi brought Paxtin a Dora the Explorer cake!

Not quite sure about all the singing!

she got some pumpkin seeds to plant. Great Grandpa just planted his pumpkins for the Fall, so we have to find Pax a place to plant her seeds. It would be neat if she could grow her own pumpkin to carve this year!




We had a fun weekend, but are happy to be back home. Birthday celebrations are OVER for this year!
