Jonah's Birthday Party

We celebrating Jonah's birthday a few days early since we were going to be camping on his actual birthday.  It was a nice excuse to have all our old friends and neighbors over since we had just moved a few weeks before.  It was a nice, fun, summer get together in my parents' backyard.

Birthday Handouts 

4th of July 2014 / Move Out

The fun part of 4th of July:

Grandma got all the grandkids matching outfits and we had fun with bbqs, homemade ice cream and fireworks.

Remember Mikelle's teeth accident?  Well, her teeth are coming down nicely (albeit rather crookedly).

It's kind of hard to tell, and Kenzlee would not cooperate; but we have matching flip flop tan lines on our feet.

This was the best picture we could get of the Duff children.  Kenzlee was not loving it.

We had to spend this 4th of July moving.  Our contract on the condo we were renting ending in June.  The owners gave us an extra week to move out but we still ended up needing to live with my parents for a month until our house in Eagle Mountain is done being built. The family was so nice and helpful to us by loading the truck, packing, cleaning, watching kids, and I'm sure lots more.

We'll miss this place!

Kenzlee thought this was a good hiding spot to sit and sneak some snacks.

I did Mikelle's hair in the waterfall braid, matt is doing a crazy photo bomb.

I looked on the counter and saw a to do list that Mikelle had made:

(make a phone (she makes phones out of cardboard for everyone), play outside, watch My Babysitter is a Vampire, Wish Kate a happy birthday (she is our neighbor), eat my lunch, then make a phone, play in my room, play a fun game, run through water)

I had TONS of these bottles filled for water for our storage.  I had the kids help me bring them upstairs and then they got to dump out all the water so we could pack them up to move.  They loved it so much.
