Happy Birthday Abby!

Abby is 4 years old!
We had a pool party for her on Saturday. Our friends, the Ralstons, were nice enough to let us use thier pool.
Here is Abby in her swimsuit and pigtails, ready to go!

In addition to letting us use their pool, Joeby made Abby's birthday cake - a beach ball! It matched the plates and invitations we used for the party. (Very yummy too!)

Here are Abby and Elizabeth waiting for Abby's friends to arrive!



Abby's trying out her goggles. (We had fish goggles, beach balls, squirt guns, and squirty fish for all her friends who came to the party. Abby had to test everything out!)

Abby and Elizabeth swimming (Abby is using the purple noodle, behind Elizabeth).


Aby had a great time in the pool. She swam back and forth and played with her friends. A huge difference from the beginning of the summer when she had tantrums if we even suggested getting in!

Brian and Elizabeth had lots of fun too!


Well...I think everyone had fun. It turned out to be a perfect day for swimming. All week it had been cooler and rainy. And we were worried that it would be raining on Saturday as well. But the weather turned out great!

Everyone was hungry after swimming - we ordered pizza for lunch. We almost didn't have enough!


After pizza it was time for cake. Abby had to try a few times to get the candles out, but she got them!

Then she opened her presents from her friends.

Thank you everyone for all the great gifts. Abby has had so much fun playing with them the past few days.

A special thanks to the Ralstons, for hosting the party. We really appreciate their friendship and all they do for us!

Hey everyone! Abby looks like she made a haul for her birthday. I can't believe she is four! She and Elizabeth look so big. I know I won't believe my eyes when I see them in November. Kids grown a lot when you don't see them more than once a year. They look so cute though and I love that beach ball cake. I"m gonna have to remember that. --Brenna
