So, another year has passed for our kiddies. June 18th Ava turned 2 and July 13th Owen turned 4. Although I love an excuse to spoil them, I'm glad the birthdays are over. One less stress now with the move and baby coming. I try not do do anything huge, but even in keeping it simple I'm thinking for weeks what they would love for a present, what cake to do, which friends could come. It's all worth it to see them feel special on their big day, but I'm feeling good that I'm in the clear for another year.
Owen had his first birthday party with a pirate theme. Thank you to all of his friends and family that came. He was all too excited for the big event. Here are his pirate cupcakes with treasure chest and all.
A close up of the cupcake. The treasure chest was made out of a hoho and candy inside. Blue frosting and gummy fish to adorn it. The kids loved them and surprisingly the adults too.
We love you Owen! Your expressive face and wild imagination always keep us smiling. It's been fun to watch you grow into a genuine, loving, creative little boy who still loves to laugh.
I tried to get a good picture of Ava with her cupcakes, but every picture she was reaching to eat one, so this is the best we got even though the lighting doesn't show much.
Ava's butterfly cupcakes.
What girls birthday is complete without some bling? She loves putting these bracelets on and off.
Ava got a pack-n-play for her baby doll and it's been the sweetest thing to watch her mother this little doll. She changes her diaper, puts her to sleep, rocks her in her arms. She's really turning into more of a little girl instead of a baby herself.

Happy Birthday Owen!
Karen, you did such a great job with the pirate party. The little cupcakes are adorable.
I wish we could have been there. Izy still is asking to play with "Owen and Ava". So sad.
Call me so we can catch up!!
Karen you are so creative. Those Pirate cupcakes are awesome.
Wow I can't believe their birthdays have come and gone so fast. I feel so bad that we missed wishing them a Happy Birthday. I would use the excuss that my life is crazy but I am learning that this is just my life and I need deal with it.
I hope we get to see you when you come through on your move. We miss you guys and are looking forward to getting see you more.
Good luck with everything. (by the way this is Wendy I just didnt' want to sign Kevin out. One of those that bugs him :)
Cute! You are so creative with your cakes. I need to be more like that. Hope you guys are doing well!
You are so creative!! When are you guys moving? Are you making a stop in Utah??
Wow! You have been busy throwing parties this summer. I thought the treasure chest idea was brilliant! Looks so good to eat too! Love Hohos. Ava's butterfly cake was so cute too! You are such a fun mom! I'm stressing out over Macy's upcoming party at the end of the month! It has to be all princess! So many little details to think about! When is the move and the baby coming? This will be one eventful year! We are so excited for you to get out this way!
Your cupcake cakes are so cute! I really miss you. I can't believe how big your babies are getting and now you are about to have a 3rd I haven't seen.
I keep telling Ken that he had better find an excuse to go to Ryan's AF Base.
I hope your moves goes well! and I LOVE YOU!!!
Happy late birthday!!!! I really can't believe Owen is 4 already. How time flies. I loved the pirate cupcakes. You are such a wonderful mom.
I would text you but my phone is broke. But if I could this is what my text would say "Dayton just isn't the same without your cute family. Wish you were still here!"
