Birthday Girls and a Boy

We celebrated Olivia's 12th birthday, Ruthie's soon to be 2nd, and my nephew, Kip's birthday with the family over the weekend. It was a packed house with food, gifts...and water. That's right, water!!! With the temps reaching in the 90's, kids got into their swimsuits for some water balloon fun along with the sprinkler. The kids, including two dads, had a HUGE water fight. Phil eventually turned the water off due to all of the water being used.

Before the party I took this picture. Ruthie looks so cute in pigtails but she doesn't like to keep 'pretties' in her hair for a long period of time.


No calling was needed to wear their FAV baseball team attire.

Lunch time


On the deck eating. About 10 minutes later, their plates went flying, hot and windy outside.

Opening presents


Ruth immediately put on her new dress from Aunt Sara. The dress is a 3T but looks like a long shirt. She is going to need a bigger size.




We got Ruth a new water table.


This is the only picture I took of the kids playing outside. They are too fast for the camera these days. Here is Andrew running to refill is water supply.
