Birthday Dunks, Cake and a little bit of Wasa :)

I just downloaded a plethora of photos I had requested my sweet sister to send to me.  She sent me a bunch of "goodies".  She ALWAYS has her phone out and  is ready to snap at the right time!  Aren't camera phones so awesome?  Like, seriously?!  It sometimes blows my mind how much of my life and my kid's life gets documented with a photo!
 However,  I'm a little behind with my "documenting" and some of these photos might be mentioned or re-posted when I have some time to better recap our summer.   But before you look any further I have to say how grateful I am for having my sweet sweet sister's around and for my darling husband.  I feel like I have been treated like royalty lately.  My sister's are SO awesome with my girls and I have had so much fun and freedom with them around.  Not just freedom from getting away from my kids but just having more ease to do things that are fun with them and doing the things I need to get done while having them around.  Not that I would EVER want to entertain the idea of polygamy but I definitely see the appealing side to having multiple woman under the same house and managing all that needs to get done together while having the best company, chit chat and fun through it all!  Okay okay, maybe I'll just say I'm grateful for sisterhood and a husband I am to greedy to share- ha ha!  Jason spoiled me with a fun party (like SO FUN) and dinner on my birthday.  He worked his butt off cleaning and planning and my sister's were baking up a storm.  It was a great and definitely eased my hesitation with embracing the BIG 2-8. 
                 

Jason rented a dunk tank for my birthday.  Here I am waiting to get DUNKED. 

 I got heckled for keeping my face and hair above water...but who are we kidding? I still did it and kept my make-up and hair decent for MY party, that's a win-win.  What happened to NOT be a "win" is the magnification of my thighs through the dunk tank window...

 Above: Jason doing his signature "speedo stretches"-- the dunk tank was a huge hit. Neighbors started to flock over and get in on the action (pretty sure we are a lot "cooler" in their eye's now) and a BIG shout out to all those who were "dunked"; Blake, Dallas, Cam, Logan, Rowan (neighbor kid) Jay and last but not least, ME!

 

This was the cake we had the night before on my actual birthday.  When Jason and I returned home from dinner my sister's had balloons, presents and cake waiting for us.

 Jenny made this cake all on her own. It was almost TOO pretty to eat but it tasted delicious :)

Wasa Goodies:

Another "goodie".  We had a ton of rain out at Wasa while we were there so baking became a popular activity for us.  Brooklynn was in heaven while icing the sugar cookies, I think it was almost as good as eating them when they were done!

 I have a lot more Wasa photos to come, but again, I just had to get the ones up from my sister's phone.  Thanks, Amanda!
