Birthday Week for Jeffers and Ava-Lou


Some of Mom's friends at the Doggy/Kitty splash park party.


Some of the kids, why I didn't bring a camera I don't know, thanks Kim!
Our traditional trip to Toy R' Us

Family party at Auntie's, Av took a little more time with her outfit for the event.

The reason I love parties...so I can make cakes! Anyone want to start a bakery?

The fam enjoying treats.

Well, here's how the story goes. So I was due with Jefferson in June and my sis was due in April. We were so excited to be having a baby together. I called Denia from my hospital room on April 27th and told her I had my baby. She was schedueled to be induced and the hospital didn't have room, a little upset that I had Jeffey first, she had Ava two days later. Ever since the two twin cousins have been known as the "babies", and love to play together. They can make a mess in record time and are about the most mischevious two you will ever find. Its definately a "love hate" relationship and poor Av has to play with boy toys and Jeffey is occasionally found wearing a necklace and princess gloves, but for the most part they are inseparable. So it is only fitting that we had to have two parties and both of them blew out the candles at each party. We had a blast hanging out with friends and family and celebrating that "the babies" are now three. Look out world...here they come!
A huge thanks to my parents who came, dressed kids, slathered on sunscreen, and kept tabs on Lukey the entire time. Also, thanks to Aunt Cletty who rarely misses helping with her nephew's parties. And lastly, thanks to everyone who celebrated with us this year, and helped us get Jeff this far. Oh, and to my great sister who let me have Jeffey first! Love ya D. Where would I be without my amazing friends and family. Lo

Happy birthday to Jeff!! I am so sad we missed the splash park! It looks like you guys had fun! I can't wait until we are back so we can hit the pools! We better plan play dates all summer! :-)

What a great idea to do a trip to Toys R Us! I think I might have to steal it for Julia's birthday next month. :-)

I am not very good at making cakes, but if you open a bakery, I promise I will eat them! :-)

Jeff-
Happy Happy Birthday from your friends in Utah. So sorry your present is super late, but long story short, I just got my van back from the mechanics yesterday...so any outings were a no go for the past two weeks. We love ya and miss ya. Looks like you all had a blast. All our best!!

What a fun birthday for Jeff and how cute that he has a cousin so close in age. Too bad they weren't born the same day, but neat that they are close in age. I am sad that I wasn't able to make it to the splash park, but hopefully next time we will.
I love Em's comment that she would be sure to eat the cupcakes:)
