Birthday Week 2009

Wow! What a busy week we just had!! 3 birthdays in 4 days, Megan visiting, non stop on the go. I am SO exhausted! Here are pictures from the week. The order of our birthdays is 18th-mine, 20th-Max, 21st- Aaron...but the pictures are not posted in that order. :) I didn't realize until I had posted most of the pics, so I just kept them like this. So we start with Aaron's birthday:
We went up to Shaver Lake so Aaron could do some fishing. My mom, Megan and the 3 boys came too.
Max was in HEAVEN with the dirt and water.

He caught a "shishy", as Max would say. It wasn't too big but big enough to keep and Max thought is was so cool so Aaron kept it.
This little guy was all tuckered out after playing all day and no nap. He was sound asleep 5 minutes into our drive.
Max's birthday!! 2 years old! We had a little party for him, and Aaron, and the park with all the family and 2 close friends. It was fun, but HOT! All during this week we have been experiencing 96 degree weather!
He loved his gift from us, a scooter! He has figured it out very quickly and now he has his own to ride with the kids at the park.
Opening gifts...he was so excited and had a cute reaction to each gift.
I tried all day to get a picture of him and this was the best one! I think it's cute though.
On a side note, I might arrange a marriage between these 2 one day. :)
Some of the fam.
Another cute shot.
Birthday cakes for my 2 guys! Max's cake had "Cars" cars on it and Aaron's had NASCAR cars.
He fell asleep on the couch before the park. Partying all day is exhausting!
Max the ham and Sadie the beauty!
So much love!
Aaron and I made this table for Max. It has roads and a landing strip. We had so much fun making together and Max loves it! So does Aaron...they play together so well. :)
Testing it out.
On Sunday we had no birthdays, but some family pictures with the kids on my side. We did them in Grandma and Grandpa Halvorson's backyard, and enjoyed some home made ice cream also! YUM!!
Aaron and I. :) Ahhh...
This little doll!
My 3 brothers, Tyler, Matt, and McKay.
The 6 kids!
The fam.
These two little buddies love to play with grandpa's trucks!
Goofy kids!
Sadie and I.
On my birthday we hung out with Megan, went on a bike ride, and then took a quick dive in the pool...well I didn't but everyone else did. It was hot outside but it ws the first hot day so the pool was still really cold.

This little dare devil is fearless!! Max was the first one in the water!
Max and Aaron trying out the race car they got with birthday money from Grandpa Powell. The love it! Aaron drives it and Max chases it. :)

We had a fun week!! Thanks to everyone for making it so special and thanks to Megan for the visit!!

Happy Birthday to everyone! It looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Also, loved the cakes.

Your "Cars" cakes are fantastic, Kristen! Love how you personalized both of them, and it's very clever to have the "2" and the "5" juxtaposed. That one pic of you holding Sadie is probably my favorite out of all of them. I also love that shot of Max looking into the sunlight at the playground. Max got some cool gifts! Aren't you glad Sadie's birthday isn't in April?! That would be something!
