Backyard Birthday Bash


With James' and Reese's birthdays being one day a part, we figure we will have lots of shared birthdays.  So this year we decided to just have another birthday in the backyard with lots of water fun and family fun!  We also had their party two weeks late on June 16th because of the Hawaii trip.


Michelle, Justin, and Amber enjoy appetizers inside because of all the flies!


Outside, Reese is loving the whale pool!


Her sweet friend, Taylor, just loves her!  I can't wait until Reese is a little older so they can actually play more together.


Granddad and Mom watch the kids play.


James was having a blast running around and getting wet!


He and his buddy, Law, throw all the toys into the pool.


Dad and Billie try to find some cool in the shade.  It was a HOT day!


Granddad plays water gun fight with James.


My sweet Amber helped with with Reese while I hosted the party.

James and Anthony always have fun together!


Aunt Michelle helps me out by watching Reese on the swing!


This is what sun screen in the hair will do!



Look at our Mickey and Minnie theme!


This is James' cake... a BIG Mickey face!
He loved it!
(Thank you, Amber, for teaching me how to do this!)


Minnie cupcakes for Reese!






We had a great Mickey "happy birthday" banner thanks to Mel's crafty hands :)
And thanks Mom and Dad for supplying the balloons!


Reese's Balloons all ready to go too!


"Who wants cheese on there burger?"!!!
Thanks for the great grilling, Justin!


We were so glad Lucas and Anthony came in town for the party!
We love our cousins!!!
The kids chow down.


Everyone comes inside and Papa gets Reese!


Time to sing Happy Birthday and blow out the candles!


 James goes first...


Now it's Reese's turn!


Reese couldn't wait for her cupcake!


Melanie found the cutest Minnie ears for Reese.  Isn't she precious?


 
The cake face!
Happy first birthday Reese's Pieces!


Time for everyone to have some cake :)


Such a happy boy :)


Ooh, the black icing .....  glad it didn't bother the kids!


Gift opening was pretty funny with a one year old and three year old.
James is sitting in Reese's new chair from Granddad.  He painted pretty little flowers on it ;)


Opening a card.


Justin helped with James while I helped with Reese :)


All the kids helping out ;)


Excited about his new toys.


Uncle Josh helped out with Reese when she strayed from the gift opening.
