Birthday Bash...

We celebrated Claire's birthday on Sunday with both sets of Grandparents. It was fun to have Grandma and Grandpa Riding here, we miss them already!
Claire's Flower Power cake!
Singing happy birthday.
She didn't quite get why she was allowed to go for the cake, but she did go for the biggest piece of candy! (just what I would've done!)
Her fat little fingers couldn't grab enough.
This is her sugar coma face. So happy to have it all to herself.
My kids are so lucky to have such great Grandparents!
Then we took my parents up to the cabin.

Porter filling the cabin with firewood. It really was so cute, he felt he was such a big help..and he was!
On our three minute hike...literally! :)
Indians Paintbrush (is that right dad?)
The beautiful view
Grandma and Claire swinging

Porter loves his daddy. Isn't this the sweetest picture? Love those boys!

That is the CUTEST cake ever! Happy birthday to cute Claire! I love the hand in the cake pictures. She is your clone, I can't believe how much she looks like you- more and more with ever picture even. That picture of Claire sitting on the grass is so cute and so is the one of mark and porter. OOOh so cute!

You made that cake?? It's so cute. I'm very impressed. I love the picture of Mark and Porter... little boys and their daddies are the cutest.

Happy Birthday! I can't believe how fast it went. It makes me nervous for how fast it will go for Isabel. Claire looks so much like Mark in those photos.

Annie said...

I'm with everyone else... that cake is awesome. I might try to copy it for Savannah's bday next month. You are such a cute mommy, and your kids are just so precious. Well done!

Amanda Maughan said...

You are officially in charge of the cake making for the rest of their lives. You win the best mom award with that one. I wish we could be there and at the cabin. I can't wait to hang up there with kids...soon.

I was thinking the exact same thing about the pictures of Porter before I even ready your post. He looks so proud of himself, so helpful and carrying so much wood at once. I love it.

LOVE that birthday cake. I'm going to make one of those just for fun. I can't believe that Claire is one. It doesn't seem like that long ago that we had your baby shower.
