Isaac's birthday party was up in Irvine at a park, so we packed up our bikes and headed up for the fun. In the whirlwind of packing and getting to the party on time, I forgot helmets. Mattie was happy to let Ty borrow his, if he didn't mind the pink and princesses. And he didn't. :)
Here's Mattie and Cam enjoying some swinging. That was a very popular request at this party, I think the kids spent the whole time on the swings.
Besides Ty because he was way too interested in
JJ, Leanne's brother, who was kind enough to hang with Ty and enjoy some manly bonding over yummy pizza.
Here are the sweet
BFFs. Tatum had spent the night with Shauna and had asked her to flat iron her hair. Everyone had to take a double take at Tatum when we got to the party because they didn't recognize her without the curls. She loved it of course.
Then it was cup cake decorating time and singing happy birthday to the birthday boy!
Ty couldn't wait to dig in to his heavily decorated cup cake.
Such a girl. :)
Later that evening, we headed to the Irvine park behind the senior center for a performance from the Orange County Symphony Orchestra. They had lots of fun things for the kids like this
Lego tent where Ty enjoyed building and ripping things apart with the big kids.
Tatum was much more interested in the bounce house obstacle course. She asked Ty and I to go through with her the first time but half way up the steep climb to the top of the slide, Ty decided this wasn't for him. Let me just say, it's difficult to hang on to a child while you're also trying to hang on to the bounce house stairs and not fall back on small, innocent children below. After that, I was very happy that Ty was happy to go sit in the
Lego's.
We met up with the
Jazayeries and Tatum and Mattie enjoyed going through the obstacle course quite a few times together. There were two lines and a kid from each line was to go when the man said ready, set, go. But each time, the girls would sneak through together, so funny.
After having a bite, we walked around the field and waited for the music to begin. Here's the kids doing
somersaults down the hill. Or attempting to at least. I love that Ty's heading the wrong direction.
I love this picture. Tatum was into the camera again and it came time for the National Anthem. As we're all knelt down, trying to explain to the kids where to put their hand and what the National Anthem means, Tatum caught this photo. So sweet and patriotic.
While listening to the music, we headed back to our camp and the girls took over the camera. Here's a close up of a little brother...
the
mommys...
a fancy pair of flip flops...
and already starts the self portraits. How many of these do I have! :)
And Judy and Jane, who enjoyed laughing and putting up with all of us and our chaos.
