Summer fun with cousins

Caleb and Cali were in town visiting their other grandparents and my mom "stole" them for the weekend so they could come to Eleanor's birthday party.  I knew they were coming, but didn't tell the girls...they were so surprised to see them!  We had a family dinner here after the party and after dinner the kids wanted to try out all 3 sprinklers that Eleanor got for her birthday.  Each one is fun in it's own way and they love all of them...and we have used them all a lot this summer.  So fun to have cousins come visit and be able to play on a summer night and stay up late.  Fun memories for them all!

 This is what Delaney and Caleb would do the whole time they are together...we just make them go out and play!  I mean who wants to play the Wii for that long...apparently they do!  HA!!!!

 COUSINS!!!!!!!!!

 Maddie LOVES having Cali here to play!!!

Sprinkler Fun!!!!!!

Eleanor's Birthday Party...a few months later!

I am sooooooo behind with blogging.  This summer has flown by and I can't believe the last time I blogged was in June...wow!!!  We had such a fun summer, too.  I think a month by month catch up is calling my name!

Back to Eleanor's 2nd birthday party...we had an Ice Cream Party...so fun.  Thankfully, the weather was cooler the weekend we had it and we were able to do the party outside and the kids just played in the backyard and no one complained that it was hot...so nice!

Water bottles with flavor packets...everyone (especially the kids) loved picking their own flavor. 

 Cotton Candy filled waffle cones = party favor!

 Ice Cream Sundae Bar

 The sweet birthday girl!  Can't believe she's 2!

 Bubble fun with cousins!

 We tried to take a family pic...Madeline was not wanting to participate!  

I asked to take one more picture and this is what I got...a hand over her face as if to say...."No more pictures, mom!!!"
