Celebrating Midge's Birthday with Family

The day before Midge's birthday we met with my parents and brother at North Bank for dinner.

Afterwards we got dessert at Sweet Life and then took it to the Rose Garden.

It took a couple of attempts to get this group picture.

The kids loved being able to stretch their legs.

I took advantage of the beautiful surroundings to get some fun pictures of the kids.

My mom got this outfit for Midge for her birthday.

For Midge's actual birthday she requested pizza for her birthday. It was such a hot day I couldn't bring myself to turn on the oven so we decided to experiment and grilled pizza.

Midge's 9th Birthday

For Midge's birthday we took 5 of her friends and her brother to Amazon Pool. It is a great pool and kept everyone busy for 3 hours!

There was a large diving board that the kids dared each other to jump off of. J-Boy did it first.

Leo and his best bud A-boy had a great time in the other pool and water slide.

Midge with E-boy. Midge did a great job of inviting people that got along really well together.

There was a really fast water slide that the older kids loved going down.

After some cajoling they convinced Midge to go off the high dive. She loved it.

I love the above expression on her face. She came up squealing with delight.

Midge wanted cupcakes with bees and ladybugs.

When we got home one of the kiddos got sick (luckily in the driveway) so he and his sister had to go home. This is the remaining group enjoying the cupcakes.

Midge wanted scented markers so bad and was so excited when J-boy got them for her.

The below toy is an amazing gift. You draw on two screens and they become 3D.

A-girl gave her the below bag.

She loved the art supplies she got and has enjoyed using them. She is an amazing artist. We gave her a book that tells her how to draw 50 different animals. It has been fun to see her drawing them.
