One Fun Day

One fun day, Abbie went to Hollywood with her friend Mia to see the Hannah Montana movie at the El Capitan Theater...and Caden went to Anaheim to ice skate for a super fun birthday party!

Oh! The joy of Hollywood!

Caden's friend Julian had his party at an ice rink in Anaheim where the Ducks train! The kids had a great time! Falling and having fun!

Caden's Birthday Activities Part 2

Caden's Birthday!

In the morning Caden opened his gifts and then we were off to school to celebrate with his class!

Caden shares a birthday with his friend Julian and his teacher (my friend Darcy:))


After school I surprised Caden and took him to Disneyland to take advantage of their birthday offer. Since Caden has a season pass, he received a $60 gift card for Disney merchandise! Nice!

Staci and her kids came with us! Another surprise for Caden!

Remember his friend Julian with the same birthday? He was there too with his family! Another surprise for Caden! The boys went on Space Mountain together and watched Honey, I Shrunk the Audience!

Side note on Caden's shirt: He got it for his birthday from his friend Jake and he REALLY wanted to wear it to school for his birthday!

Caden and me......................................................................Staci, Hudson, and Reese

Caden's Birthday Activities Part 1

Caden has had a birthday party every year since he was one. Since Macie's birthday is 2 days later we have always just sung to her at the end of his parties and she has never cared. This year we decided to have a party for Macie and we told Caden that he could invite a friend to do something fun for his birthday instead of a party. We started this "every other year party" thing with Abbie last year. The one friend invite turned into a few from school and a few fron church and a few cousins. We went to Chuck E. Cheese right after school for lunch. There was nobody there! The kids played, the moms ate salad, the kids ate pizza, the kids played some more, and an hour and a half later we all went home! Caden loved it!
