Ollie Birthday Celebrations

Ollie's long awaited birthday finally came. He still can't understand why Milo's birthday comes before his, when he his older, but we got to his eventually. It fell on  a Sunday this year. So we had a "fun" day Saturday before his b-day on Sunday. We are having no friend parties this year, so we just hung out as a family. We went miniature golfing cause Ollie LOVES golfing. 

The hat Nana and Papa sent him.

We tried out the water bumped boats. I didn't get any pics, cause I was afraid my phone would get wet or drop in the water. We were very happy to get wet, the day was hot. And Daddy and Ollie in his boat made sure the got us plenty wet in the other boat. 

Pizza hut was his choice for dinner. 

We saved presents for Sunday on his actual birthday. I never got a picture of him standing by his new bike. Silly I know. We had cake and went to a park to play and practice soccer, and ride bikes. 

He's been riding bikes with no help for a while, but adjusting to the bigger bike we got him took a little to get the hang of. He did great. 

Ollie is obsessed with all things Mario right now. So he asked for a Mario cake. He isn't the biggest cake fan, but he does like it a little. I think he just really wanted a themed cake after seeing Gabe and Milo get one. He was so happy to finally be five. 

Grandpa and Grandma sent money for them to pick out their own gifts. My kids love this. Ollie ended up with a lego fire truck. We went back an forth a lot in the store. So many fun choices. 

Around the House

Adam had to scout out some trails for a camp out he had coming up. He took the two kiddos while I stayed home with Milo who napped. 

Obviously the hiking around wore them both out. 

Just cause we don't have one in our town anymore, doesn't mean we don't try and get down to the other ones.

The swig in our town closed. It wasn't getting enough business. It made us all pretty mad. How well.

Cold weather at Ollie's soccer practice, so we cuddled.

Monday night watching some football.

Stopped by the Hurricane airport for the airport day they have.

I went to a girls night witch party. I LOVE LOVE festive people. BUT I don't love huge girls nights  with lots of people. I would rather go with a good friend or a few somewhere. Otherwise it feels like a random Relief society activity to me. It's not my thing to hang in big groups. I'm kinda antisocial in that way. So with that being said I still do occasionally try. Especially when the invite comes from someone I serve with in primary. It kinda feels like an obligation. So if I don't have to do it all the time, I do it. Luckily for me I drug a close friend with me. 

Peach Days

Peach Days was a little different this year. They still had baptisms scheduled for the same Saturday which annoyed A LOT of people that the stake wouldn't move it. Anyway, I missed the parade with my fam cause I was helping with that. Which is fine, but I was still bummed. Adam told me that Milo was so fun with it all. I did join them afterwards for some bounce houses and rides. 

We love who we run into while there. 

The train was Milo's favorite thing. 

Gabe and Ollie wanted to do all the big kid stuff. It was kinda a fun thing to transition to the bigger things with our kids. 

We spent the rest of the day hanging at home and enjoying the weekend. We had some friends over for dinner and played. We've been trying to be more social, go us! We then took our kids to watch the peach days fire works that were super lame, and we'll probably never do again. Ha!
