Somehow all our kids birthdays landed in the same week, so the first week of June ends up feeling a little like Christmas at our house. It is so much fun and I love that we can cover it all with one big party! On Sunday we had all our family over for dinner and cake and ice cream. We ended up going with having pizza on the grill for dinner, which turned out very yummy. Then we decided to make a special birthday cake for each of the kids. Thank goodness I have a creative husband! He helped a lot with the cakes, and once we figured out what to do, they really weren't that hard to create either.
The Birthday Kids
Clark (4), Benson (6), Paige (2)
Benson's Indiana Jones cake...

Clark's Race Car Cake... fruit roll up flames and chocolate donut tires, all of his favorites!
Paige fell in love with her princess cake (it's actually strawberry ice cream that I carved, covered with pink cool whip and then stuck a Barbie doll into...super easy, but super cute!)

Here are some of the boys' presents....
$1 squirt guns make any kid happy, right!?
Benson (and a few of his uncles) hit all the wiffle balls over the fence, so we got a new stash of balls to hit!
Clark got a new basketball so he is be happy to have a ball that actually bounces and holds air! (His other one is flat!)
Fun with our cousins!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my wonderful children!
You each make me so happy in your own unique way and
I am so proud to be your mom!

My gosh they are growing up so fast! I still remember when Benson was just a tiny baby. They are all so stinking cute!
I love the cakes, and it looks like they had a wild birthday week! You really are such a great mom, I love reading about and seeing all of the things you do for/with your kids.
Those cakes are too cute! Happy Birthday Benson, Clark, & Paige!
Wow, it really does look like Christmas in June at your house! That was really good planning to have all of the birthday parties at the same time. Adorable cakes and even more adorable kids!
Ok, I am so impressed with the cakes! So cute! That's so fun to have 1 big party, maybe we'll have to do that for our September birthdays. (Marc, Halle, and Rachel are all in the same week too) Happy Birthday Benson, Clark, and Paige!!
Love the ice cream cake. All their birthdays in the same week. You do have Christmas twice a year.
Sounds like a fun time. You might want to clean that fingerprint off of your camera lens.
